Sometimes I play that game in my head where you choose the people, dead or alive (Halloween is round the corner, though pre-buried state is preferred) that you’d love to sit down with large bottles of wine and have dinner with.  The jewellery designer Solange Azagury-Partridge is definitely on the list. Self made, self taught, she looks at gems with a totally different eye. Her scary pieces cross the divide between just being brilliant Halloween bling with craft and humour to pieces you could flaunt all year round.

The heart of darkness..

The bleeding heart.

Something to scare the children.

Or just everyone..

(Scare the husband with the price..)

Need to make a point? This is the heart plucker ring..

As worn by Charlize Theron as evil Queen Ravenna in Snow White and the Huntsman.

Yep. She’s that good.
