The Star Style Sparkle Season



A mist has descended upon H.Samuel HQ and what only a month ago was a slight nip in the air, we’re now resigned to the fact that winter is here to stay. Far from being devastated by the prospect of being chilled to the marrow, as soon as Halloween bid us a ghoulish goodbye, we turned our attentions directly towards Christmas, being the festive harbingers of merriment and cheer that we are.

The office has been decorated by the marketing team and we’ve even created a workspace for Mr Sparkle should he want to take a break from scouring the globe, collecting sparkles for his diamonds. Keep an eye out for him on the TV this weekend and the coming weeks as he’s set to make many a regular appearance sandwiched between your favourite reality shows and soaps.


So as Mr Sparkle gets ready for his close up, it got us to thinking about the star style of the beautiful, rich and famous. The tail end of the year always sees a flurry of films released at the cinema, perfect for wintery evenings when the long nights of sipping summer cocktails are long behind us, and the urge to hibernate overcomes us. This weekend sees the release of the final installment of Twilight and while Lauren is chomping at a vampire bit to get her fix, she’s busied herself with creating Pinterest boards to recreate the gothic, dark and seductive style. Me, I’ve been searching for the perfect gold cross to ward off those vamps, an option wholly preferable to garlic. I love this piece, as modelled by Emma, from Together but am plumping for this interestingly curved design diamond set cross pendant.


High Street favourite Dorothy Perkins have recently launched a collaborative collective with the Kardashians, and if there is anything a Kardashian does well, it’s bling (and weddings). Take a look at how Kim Kardashian has layered up gold and silver bangles to create an impactful and illuminated contrast against the heavy black velvet of her dress.


 I’ve experimented with tonal stones – opals, topaz, citrine, and quartz - paired with both silver and gold, to personalise strong statement bangles complemented with a delicate stone set gold bracelet.

If you’re looking for something a little more cost effective then Fiorelli’s Sparkle bracelet and Guess gold plated and taupe piece are a great way to start building your bracelets.




Dazzling diamonds have adorned the lobes, necks and fingers of the well heeled red carpeteers over the years. I don’t wear earrings often enough but since joining the HS team; I’ve had my eye on many a pair of diamond earrings, like these Forever Diamond studs. The Forever Diamond has a unique flower cut made up of 73 facets, resulting in exceptional sparkle. What’s more each Forever Diamond has been independently certified by IGI for colour, clarity, carat and cut. Which is why if anyone sees fit to bestow these upon me this Christmas, I’ll make them this girl’s second best friend, after the diamonds themselves. I can’t say fairer than that.
