Lucky Star

Cassia Jewellery

Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
How I wonder how much you are
Because you dazzle oh so bright,
And I really want to wear you tonight.

Want a little sparkler without the blinding price tag? British jeweller Cassia’s stars start from a very reasonable £80 (and, okay, go up to a more unreasonable £1,300). But when you know that each piece is made by hand in her London workshop (as opposed to some mass-market sweatshop in Delhi), you’ll like them even more.

Crafted of 18-karat gold and silver, Cassia’s little stars come plain, adorned with one diamond or pavé set with multiple diamonds, on simple chains as pendants and on rings.

If you have Christmas in the back of your mind, then you may find it useful to know that Cassia also does private commissions using any stone you fancy.

Need an award-winning accessory to update an old party dress?

Follow that star.
