HEATHER PAINE JEWELLERY

One of the original and individual jewellery designers on our Directory, Heather Paine uses Sterling silver to create beautiful rings, bracelets and earrings. Her gorgeous new summer ring collection is inspired by ancient Rome, with each ring given a grainy, antique finish through a process called reticulation.

The rings are left plain or set with stones such as star sapphires and pink and green tourmaline. Each one is made in hallmarked silver and adjustable, and the elegant, wide band is the perfect way to show off tanned hands and fingers. Prices are affordable, too, from £75. See the whole Heather Paine Jewellery collection

DISGRACEFUL GRACE

When you need the perfect little clutch bag for dining out on those warm summer evenings, Disgraceful Grace is the online boutique to visit. This clever and original website is a treasure trove of fabulous and original accessories, including adorable clutch bags in fuchsia and turquoise to add a pop of colour to your outfit, or in a range of pale neutrals to blend with lots of outfits. There are also pretty embellished hair clips and slides which are exactly what we all need to transform beach hair into glam locks or cool up-do. And, if you have a summer wedding or other formal occasion, don't miss the collection of Cornelia James gloves, which give a deliciously retro feel to a summer frock or vintage-inspired summer suit or coat. See the whole Disgraceful Grace Collection

WENDY MCLEAN JEWELLERY

Wendy McLean's jewellery designs, featuring bespoke coiled wire work, are totally original and beautifully on-trend.  Wendy combines her enamelled copper wire with freshwater pearls, beads or gemstones to create beautiful bracelets, cuffs, necklaces, earrings and pendants in a whole paintbox of colours, from the palest pastels to the boldest  brights and deepest neutrals. She then combines them in rainbow mixes, in single colours or a blend of two or three toning shades.

For summer, she has added a collection of wide cuffs that look fabulous with sleeveless, strappy or three-quarter sleeve dresses and tops, which all work equally well for days at the beach or to give an evening outfit some va-va-voom. See the whole Wendy McLean Jewellery collection
