Sonia loves this… because this hand-made lace cuff by Aurélie Bidermann is a rare piece to own. Working with vintage lace that has been immersed in black gold, Bidermann preserves both the fabric and its history to create a new and truly unique piece of design.

Reflecting on her passion for jewellery, Bidermann remembers, "When I was a teenager I was called the Christmas tree because I wore such big jewellery". Today, her taste has been refined and she approaches her work with unique style and craftsmanship. She trained in gemology and has a MA in history of art, both of which have influenced her desire to work with rare objects, such as: swan feathers and vintage lace.

It was only in 2003 when Bindermann launched her jewellery line to the public and a year later her work was stocked in concept-store Colette in Paris. This particular lace cuff embodies her French roots, whilst the rest of her spring/summer 2010 collection reflects her love of travel. Tuscany has inspired gold and silver wheat pendants, whilst her time in Ibiza has influenced delicate cotton plait bracelets within this collection.

Sonia loves this… because bigger is sometimes better, and this 14- karat gold-plated brass cocktail ring adds a touch of decadence to any ensemble. Its unusual geometric design is alluring with an embellished crystal dome set into a chucky geometric base turns the conventions of the diamond ring aesthetic inside out, or rather outside in. As a piece of costume jewellery it is bold and unconventional whilst remaining wearable, providing a little luxury and sophistication to casual daywear or adding to the glamour of eveningwear.

Founded by Pamela Skaist-Levy and Gela Nash-Taylor (spouse of Duran Duran's John Taylor) in 1995 the Juicy Couture quickly rose to fame with their iconic velour tracksuit. After sending out personalised sportswear to many high profile women such as Madonna their label soon became associated with celebrities. The designing duo both started their company with an ethos that their clothing would be both luxury and yet more affordable for the average women and continue to diversify their range.

Sonia loves this… because these Art Deco inspired drop earrings by Marni bring a touch of neoclassical glamour to this summers' evening wardrobe. From large black Swarovski crystals swing pearly horn pendulums that unfurl to reveal a glittering of grey onyx. Wear with a floor length 1920s silk dress, sweep your hair off your neck and let these embellished earrings glimmer in the light as they sway from your ears.

These discrete, elegant earrings are the exception to the hippie aesthetic set by Consuelo Castiglioni's spring/summer 2010 collection for Marni. Everything from the geometrically cut Swarovski crystals to the contrasts of light coloured horn and the dark onyx, emphasise a heavy Art Deco design influence. The artistic style, originally referred to as 'Style Moderne', was born of modern arts movement of the late 19th century. Famed for it's influence in the world of architecture, Art Deco became the definitive style of the roaring twenties, the straight lines and concentric mathematical curves filtering down to fashion and jewellery are referenced here with subtlety and style.
