We had to feature this product out of sheer novelty value. I am not sure what my wife would make of these corset inspired pieces, but I think their kind of funky.
Retailed by Vollers Corset makers (who have been making corsets for 100 years), each piece is hand finished in the UK by local craftsman, exclusively for Vollers.
Cufflinks are a great gift and can make the recipient look suave and sophisticated.
Something like these diamond Dunhill cufflinks would be perfect.
They incorporate 74 diamonds set on a sterling silver base and retail for £1025 ($2050). Pricey but perfect…

Cutting edge jewellery designs from the celebrity circuit can be hard to locate - particularly at reasonable prices. A new offering from Missy Rose online boutique aims to fill that niche.
With pieces inspired from the likes of Beyonce, Lily Allen, Jennifer Aniston and Danni Minogue - Missy Rose could offer the perfect gift idea, for the style conscious fashionista.
Missy Rose say:
“Dress your wrists in pearls, diamantes, crystals and stones or choose one of our elegant necklaces, belt up with passion and confidence with our belts, our distinctly different bags will make a beautiful addition to your wardrobe and our timeless collection of watches will leave you wanting more. Other sparkly items also include charms, key rings and hair accessories.”
A particular piece to note is Beyonce’s dazzling pink pear drop earrings, bezel set in 925 sterling silver with cubic zirconia stones £39.95 ($80).
Quite frankly I consider myself a complete sucker for personalised silverware. I guess it’s a sense that someone has actually thought about the gift.
It wasn’t until someone bought me a lush silver ring that I heard about the London Silver Vaults. This place has all manner of dealers selling new and antique pieces which can be engraved on site.
We recently purchased some amazing value napkin rings for a very reasonable £25 ($50).
Go check them out…
These Kiki McDonough earrings are colourful and unique. The perfect gift for a special occasion - although my wife felt they were a little bit gaudy for her tastes. Nonetheless, this kind of flamboyant earring has been making waves on the catwalks all year.
Comprising 18ct gold and multi coloured gem stone.
Retails for £1,400 ($2,800).
