If you're inspired by the costume jewellery in Strictly Come Dancing, or want to keep bang on-trend by accentuating your denim or pencil skirt look, make accessories as dressy as you choose. Budding designers pick from a range of templates for necklaces, bracelets or earrings then from a rainbow of pearls and Swarovski crystals. Then they paint their pearls onto the shape-template. My Pearl Box does the hard work of actually making it using freshwater pearls, luxury crystals and sterling silver, and sends it within a week.
Or you could make a thoughtful, personalised birthday present. There's always the option of choosing from off-the-peg designs if you're in a hurry.
As the saying goes “If you want a thing done well, do it yourself.”
