As many of you will know I love costume jewellery and whenever I'm looking for interesting pieces my first port of call is Christobal in Church Street Marylebone in London, a wonderful shop run by my two friends Yai Thammachote and Steven Miners. They have just sent me some pictures of some exquisite pieces. I was speaking to a friend of mine this week whose sister is an inveterate car-booter and she found two Trifari pieces a couple of weeks ago. The sellers just thought they were nice bits of costume jewellery and she paid £5 each for them.
