Love them or hate them, animal prints always seem to be in fashion in one form or another. In New York Fashion Week 2009, animal prints featured at shows by Cynthia Steffe, Oscar de la Renta and DKNY. I love the peacock feather dress and zebra jacket - not so sure about the Wilma Flintstone outfit (plus matching hair) but it could grow on me...

Now I personally love that wildlife look and this autumn, animal-themed jewellery features heavily in our collection. Kenneth Jay Lane's animal bracelets are a costume-jewellery classic - their beautifully detailed enamel bracelets (elephants, zebras, tigers, snakes...) have adorned the wrists of many a celebrity and are a bestseller in our store. They always look fabulous and when I wear my black elephant bracelet (as seen on Hilary Duff) on a rare night out, it always attract attention!
We have some truly spectacular new Kenneth Jay Lane arrivals, many of which are simply unavailable outside of the USA.
My personal favourites are the enamel bird ring, the crystal monkey necklace and the zebra head bracelet - the latter is strictly not for the faint-hearted!
If you love Butler and Wilson's jewellery then you will know that Simon Wilson's animal designs are legendary - from the classic snake bracelets to his latest whimsical mouse brooches, there is something (dramatic, cute, menacing) for everyone. I adore the baby duck necklaces and the latest and most definitely gorgeous panda rings. The best thing is that Butler and Wilson's pieces are both affordable and collectible so there's no reason not to start building your own jewellery zoo
For those on a smaller budget but who still appreciate a bit of animal bling, we have a selection of animal bracelets from our own Zentosa collection. These include Topshop-style enamel snake and gold lion bracelets, spider rings and rather fun dragon cuffs.
So whether you choose to stack a selection of bracelets or stick to one simple piece, add a bit of safari glamour to your wardrobe this season!
