Jewellery shopping is our favourite kind of shopping, especially at Christmas. We're total magpies here at Fashion Finder HQ! 

In the last few years, the affordable jewellery market has seriously upped its game, and diamonds are no longer a girl's best friend. The Princess of Wales is a huge fan of earrings by the likes of Orelia and Spells of Love - and so are we. 

If your jewellery box is in need of a revamp, then we're on hand to help. From beloved bestsellers by brands like Monica Vinader, to newer names such as STELLAR 79 and Shyla London, you're guaranteed to fall in love. 

There are even a few labels in there that you might not know as jewellery brands, but are well worth checking out. Anyone for an Aspinal of London bracelet or a Rixo ring? 

Aspinal of London chain bracelet  

Start a chain reaction 

You'll no doubt be familiar with Aspinal of London's dreamy handbags, but did you know the label has some stunning jewellery too? 

This chain bracelet would make the perfect Christmas gift. We love the paperlink design, plus not only is there a matching necklace, but you can personalise both with Aspinal's adorable collection of charms

The bee and the feather are our personal favourites!

Monica Vinader 'Nura' pearl necklace  

Must-have 

Monica Vinader's 'Nura' pearl necklace has been on our wishlist for a while now. Kate Middleton wore it last year, and it's easy to see why she's a fan! 

The fine chain necklace and freshwater pearl pendant charm are available separately, for £70 and £55 each. But together, they're the dream combination. 

The chain is adjustable to suit your neckline, plus it's 18ct gold vermeil - a thick layer of solid gold on sterling silver to create a durable finish.
