Highly Strung

He loves you, he loves you not. He loves you, he loves you not …

Lost thread?

Get a clasp on the matter at one of Claire Aristides’s jewellery workshops. The accessories angel has a bead on style; her eponymous line of bespoke, semiprecious jewellery is a huge success, and now she’s teaching her tricks to anyone keen to learn.

For £125, you’ll get a day with the designer and her team, including a generous lunch, tuition, materials and, of course, the end results. You’ll learn basic techniques and will walk away with at least two of your own sparklers (earrings, necklace, or bracelet).

Can’t devote a whole day? Aristides sells home jewellery-making kits, containing visual instructions and proper materials.

Because you don’t want to be left dangling.
