Last week I met up with the people from Disney Couture Jewellery. "What do you mean?" I hear you say? Disney doing jewellery? Well yes actually, and its really rather gorgeous, aiming both at adults and kids. It's absolutely perfect for bridesmaids gifts! The designs, as you can imagine, are based around key characters in Disney films, such as Tinkerbell and Pocahontas, Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty. Like the films there is a certain genius in the designs - they're playful, quirky and clever, and transform you into the world of make believe. And as with weddings there is a fairytale feel behind them. From a treasure chest ring that opens up to glittering jewels inside to a crystal glass slipper pendant, gold feather bangles with Pocahontas charms dangling off, and my favorite, the gold necklaces with the words "Believe" and "Wish" inscribed. After my meeting I was gushing to the rest of the office about how surprisingly hooked I was on it, coming away with a couple of items for myself. Like the films it's great for adults too, items are catchy - which kids love - and trend-led for adults. Unsurprisingly there is already a huge celeb following including Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Lauren Conrad and Eva Longoria. Prices from £15-£120 stocking at ASOS.com, treasurebox.co.uk, Harrods and Liberty.
