Coco Cha nel ’s love of a ll t hings

The 8.87ct natural sapphire in this ring

by Hamilton & Inches is a thing of

wonder, but it’s the little gold claws and

With gold mined from the Cononish

mine in the Scottish Highlands, this is

one of the hero pieces in the Edinburgh-

intricately detailed band.

22ct gold, while the f loral motif is

Winging It

Royal Warrant holder Garrard has

added colour to its iconic Wings

with each stone set in the most

f lattering shade of gold. For sky blue

aquamarines that means white gold,

while yellow sapphires are set in yellow

gold a nd pin k gems in rose gold.

Health

Feel t he B eat

There’s a certain energy that emanates

from clients leaving West London

fitness venue OPUS. Whether they’ve

been stretched out on a Pilates reformer

or pleasantly punished in a circuit class,

people tend to leave a session looking

exhausted, yet upbeat. The secret?

Amazing trainers, zero attitude and the

best playlists outside Ibiza.
