Grown-up friendship bracelet

Remember those friendship bracelets you made as a kid at summer camp? Meet a new grown-up version from Shashi. These hand-woven silk cords (available in a variety of colours and styles decorated with crystals or gold nuggets) look cool paired with your favourite watch or piled on in multiples. A symbol of love, luck and everlasting friendship, FASHION’s cover girl KATY PERRY is also a fan. From $19 at Shades of Grey Boutique (10116 124th St., Edmonton, 780-756-5199,shopshadesofgrey.com).

All things sparkle-y at Delfina Delettrez and Swarovski

It wouldn’t be Paris fashion week without a few sparklers thrown into the mix.

First up: Delfina Delettrez. This jewellery designer is a fourth generation Fendi (yes, that Fendi) woman. She’s the daughter of Silvia Venturini Fendi—the accessories director at this famous luxury house—and Bernard Delettrez, the French jeweler. (Clearly, this French darling has quite the sparkling lineage.) Family jewels aside, Delettrez has her own eponymous line of couture-worthy baubles (many are one-of-a-kind) that blends goth with modern. From sinister-looking skulls to whimsical creatures (a few seasons back there was a pig ring that caused a few snorts), these fantastical creations are a feast for the eyes. Her current collection was showcased on wigs that rival Marge Simpson’s signature towering ‘do. Paging, Nicki Minaj!

JEWELLERY DESIGNS

Bridal Jewellery Sets

The unique beauty of the jewellery reflects the cultural traditions and diversity of the people. Centuries of tradition are artistically and lovingly moulded in each hand-crafted piece of gold, silver and other metallic and non-metallic materials. The 22-karat gold jewellery is mixed with silver, copper or other metals. Intricately woven designs are either traditional or modern. The eastern designs are generally ornate and studded with precious and semi-precious stones. Elegant and delicately simple designs that cater to the international taste and preference are also widely available. Jewellery is ever popular locally and among foreigners with a taste for the exotic. Usually crafted in silver, the chunky designs invariably carry traces of Greco-Roman and Buddhist influences.
