Bangles and pendants and beads, oh my. These are the key jewellery trends poised to dominate this season and inspire the storming of the retail barricades over the Christmas season.

Though Alisa Moussaieff of Moussaieff jewellers says it is still a little early to be completely accurate on what will win out come December, she confirms that “what people are asking for is diamond bead necklaces interspersed with gold and pearls. Also sapphire and ruby bead necklaces. I’ve found it’s beads, beads, beads at the moment.”
