Designer takes gold from runway to consumer

Jewellery design firm Laura James Jewellery has launched three new ranges for summer that are intended to update classic design for today's woman.

The three collections have been designed to make catwalk-style pieces accessible to consumers. The Luxe Collection offers delicate decorations, made from 14-carat gold, as well as silver, and featuring semi-precious stones.

Designer Laura James said: "I enjoy the challenge of bringing ideas from the Runway to women who don’t necessarily have access to the larger variety offered in high-fashion meccas like California and New York."

Her Vintage Collection provides a modern twist on traditional costume-style jewellery, while the Runway Chic Collection aims to allow women to get that high-fashion look whatever their lifestyle.

Ms James added: "My wish is for every woman who appreciates design to have the option to wear it, and I pride myself on offering great quality and cutting-edge design with a tailored foundation."
