Rihanna has requested that all the jewellery taken as evidence the night she was allegedly attacked by her now ex boyfriend Chris Brown be returned to her.

She was wearing $1.4 million (£1 million) worth of jewellery just hours before the Grammy Awards in February.

The jewellery included earrings and three rings were on loan to the Umbrella singer from an unamed shop but her lawyer, Donald Etra, said he believes the police will have no problem in releasing the jewellery.

“Apparently, initially, the police felt that it would be needed as evidence, ” Mr Etra told the BBC.
“Now the belief is that photographs would be more than sufficient.
“That being the case, we’re asking the district attorney to return the pieces.”

Tiffany & Co have brought out a new range of jewellery in the style of keys and I must have to say i love them.

They come in white gold, silver, platinum and gold and have a choice of either being plain or having diamonds on them but I like the diamond white gold ones but they are a lot of money so don’t think I will be getting it anytime soon.

They tend to start in the hundreds and go up to the thousands but there are too many go get prices from.

To have a look at the range on offer go to www.tiffany.com.

I have found a few tips on how to keep your jewellery in tip top condition.

1. only wear jewellery for appropriate tasks, eg, dont wear rings for washing up, cleaning, gardening or sports activities.
2. take jewellery off when applying hairspray, perfume or using nail varnish removers.
3. Clean all jewellery regularly using special products.}
4. When removing rings for tasks, eg going to the gym, washing up, don’t leave them by the sink always add them to your necklace or put away properly.
5. Take all jewellery off when swimming as chlorine can cause damage.

The biggest advice i can give is to never scrimp on jewellery as the cheaper it is the worst it has been made.

I am loving all of the stud earrings which are in shops either on your high street or online.  Miss Selfridge have a great selection from Pearls, flowers, buttons and different metal ones.

Some people still like to wear the large dangley earrings but the studs are supposed to be big this spring / summer but i suppose it is each to their own.

All the high street shops have them in and you can spend as little as you want or as much as you want but they all look the same to me and i would rather buy lots of than pay more.

I have just been looking on the ‘New In’ section on the Topshop website and they do have some nice stuff in at the moment but at the same time they had some horrible items in like the Lion Ring and some bracelets but overall it looks good.

It looks like Scarf’s are going to be big this simmer and also bright coloured jewellery and also lots of bangles worn at once.

I am particularilly loving the flower studs flower-cluster-stud at £12 per pair and also the bangle sets at only £10 and you get loads of them for your money..

Well I don’t know if I am alone in thinking this but I thought there was a credit crunch happening at the moment, according to Selfrridges swimwear department there is no such thing as they have launched a £2,000 biking that you can’t even swim in.

The Anita, created by Pistol Panties, features 5,000 Swarovski crystals, ensuring that each square centimetre is worth a whopping £100.

it is a bikini with a piece of gold rope joining the top to the bottom and is strictly for posing in so swimming is definitely off the agenda.

Let me know your view below.

I cant believe the TV shopping channel QVC have got a knock off version of the Chanel J12 watches which i have written about previously.

I must admit though it is quite a good copy but i wont  be showing my friend as she has one of the real ones.

The Chanel ones cost around £5k with the diamond besel and on the QVC site it is priced at £18 but obviously it does not come with real diamonds or the ceramic strap.

I know which one i would prefer but than i am a jewellery snob but for a glance it could look like the real thing.

Kate Moss has finally brought out her new collection of clothes and accessorieds at Topshop.  She was seen at the new store which has just opened in New York with Jennifer Lopez which i thought was a strange friendship but hey each to their own.

Kate has brought a load of funky items of clothing out including Metalic Leather Trousers, scalfs, tops, dresses and much more.

I know a lot of my friends had got their orders in online the day it opened and are really happy with the results but looking online i did notice a lot of it was quite expensive.

Engagement rings originally served a double purpose, it was partial payment for the bride and a symbol of the groom’s intentions and these are seen as the ultimate symbol of someones love.

The wedding ring is a symbol of marriage and a promise of each others love.
Diamond earrings are a common way to mark an occasion wether it be an aniversary, a birthday or just a reason to tell someone you love them.

Diamonds are known as the hardest known naturally occuring mineral and are very hard to scratch or damage (unless hit with a hammer than they will smash)

beyonce-shoesHow on earth does she walk in those shoes, i thought it was only Victoria Beckham who wore rediculously high shoes.

At 5 ft 6 inches she is the same height as me so she is not exactly small but with these on she must be at least 6 foot (maybe a little exaggeration he).

If i tried wearing these shoes i think i would fall over and that is without a alcoholic drink inside me.

These have got to be from christian louboutin by looking at the size of them.

I am jealous that 1) she owns a pair of these and 2) she could actually walk in them..
