Konplott

Greek jewellery designer, Miranda Konstantinidou set up her company Konplott in 1986. Using high quality materials, each piece is carefully handcrafted in the Philippines and the relatively small production of her jewellery means you can feel smug knowing you\'ve snapped up something exclusive! The collection covers a wide variety of colours and styles; each piece has its own unique twist. This ribbon and bead necklace mixes vintage charm with modern shapes to produce a truly unusual piece.

H Samuel

With its vast array of jewellery, diamonds and watches, it\'s fair to say that no high street would feel complete without its branch of H Samuel. This summer however the collection takes a more trend-led approach with plenty of cute charms and trinkets. Amongst all the treasure, this clock pendant stands out with its quirkiness and vintage style. Aside from its practicality, this gorgeous locket is the perfect match for the summer\'s big floral trend.

What\'s About Town

New brand on the block, What\'s About Town, was started rather incredibly by 15 year old Samantha Park. These days, the website stocks an impressive range of sparkly jewels made from both cubic zirconia and Swarovski crystals, which means there\'s a little bit of glitz for every budget! We couldn\'t believe our eyes when we saw the price tag on these vintage-inspired chandelier earrings - there\'s never been a better excuse to stock up!
