I wondered into the most amazing shop the other day. It has been an exciting treasure trove since I first moved to Bath as a teenager, but I hadn't been passed for some time and I had forgotten how lovely it was.
But I decided to take a wonder and was lured in as I walked passed. The windows are absolutely laden with sparkly treats.
And seeing as my taste in jewellery definitely veers towards the lairy side these pieces got me pretty excited.
I have out grown the days of wanting to buy cheap jewellery but obviously don't have the money for the really expensive stuff. And to be honest I find very little charm in anything tastefully fashioned from diamonds or anything subtle.
So the obvious solution has to be costume jewellery.
And in
Alexandra May on St Margaret's Buildings/Brock Street I have found what might quite possibly be my favourite place in the world.
These are just a tiny selection of what treats they have. My favourites are those by Askew London and Sweet Romance as shown here. Sigh! I really think I could have every single piece. This is the jewellery I have been searching for all my days.
I urge you, if you love costume jewellery and you live anywhere near Bath you have to make your way there. You will be very glad you did.
