Even though we sell a huge range of Disney-themed jewellery, I must confess that I've only seen a handful of Disney movies. The one that I love the most is without doubt, Beauty and the Beast - so much so that we've amassed a capsule collection of Beauty & the Beast themed jewellery.
Originally released in 1991 (wow, nearly 20 years ago!), this Oscar-winning, cinematic masterpiece is Disney's most acclaimed film. Now restored and remastered, Beauty and the Beast is due for release in November as a Special Edition DVD. And we can't wait to watch it all over again.

The story is a classic fairy tale - an enchantress disguised as an old beggar woman offers a young prince a rose in exchange for a night's shelter. He turns her away so she transforms him into an ugly Beast and turns his servants into furniture and other household items. He is given a magic mirror and an enchanted rose which will bloom until his 21st birthday. If he does not learn to love and be loved in return before all the petals have dropped, he will remain a Beast forever. Fortunately for the Beast, he meets feisty and beautiful Belle who falls in love with him just before the last petal falls...

So why the popularity? Admittedly, the colours are amazing and vibrant, the songs catchy (everyone must surely know the words to at least one song in this film!) and the characters are loveable - Mrs Potts, Lumiere, Cogsworth, Chip et al. But most importantly, I think the enduring appeal of Beauty & the Beast is down to the story - that love conquers all and that beauty is what lies beneath. It is a true fairytale in every sense, one with a happy ending and which keeps each new generation that watches the movie as enthralled as the last.
I love the whole Disney range, if I could afford it I would buy every piece in it. Gorgeous.
