Cast in stones Chanel’s fine jewellery always gets girls salivating. This season’s Secrets d’Orients theme takes inspiration, apparently, from Italy, Ancient Greece, Samarqand in Uzbekistan and Isfahan in Iran, with multicoloured precious gemstones creating vibrant red carpet pieces. The necklace in the Mosaique collection (above) features a stunning juxtaposition of milky pearls with emeralds and rubies, and a diversity of geometric shapes, as also seen on the colourful ring (right). Prices are available on request. Chanel is in Prince’s Building, Central, tel: 2810 0978.
