Love is in the Air - Valentine Gift Ideas!

Love is in the air, la la la, la la la, love is in the air....

Some of you may think Valentine's Day is commercial and cheesy but you have to admit, it does brighten up things at a time of year when it's all a bit grey and spring still seems ages away. I am always happy just to receive a nice box of chocolates (preferably from Artisan du Chocolat - hint) but if you need to get something a bit more exciting to impress your Valentine, here are some suggestions:

For fashionista Valentines, you can't go wrong with some CC Skye Jewellery and just in time for Valentine's Day, we have in stock their fabulously simple Love Necklace - made from 18 gold-plated vermeil (plated sterling silver), it is a beautiful and timeless gift. Alternatively, maybe a sterling silver angel wings necklace for your angel? This style is famous for being worn to death by Nicole Richie so you will also get brownie points for your celeb awareness.

For the musical Valentine, Dogeared Jewels from California designed this gorgeous and simple gift necklace - a delicate sterling silver chain with a tiny musical note pendant.


For the princess in your life, you are spoilt for choice! Disney Couture have a huge array of appropriate designs which would make perfect gifts for some one special in your life. Our two bestsellers include the gorgeous enchanted rose necklace and the princess pendant:

For a more traditional gift, look to Butler & Wilson's range of heart jewellery - we particularly love the pave crystal heart necklace - all sparkly with Swarovski crystals, it is a very romantic offering.

If it's a little gesture you are after, then you won't do much better than the LOVE word keyring - since a similar item featured in the Sex and the City Movie, these have been popular all over the world and have sold in their hundreds.... Maybe love does make the world go round... xxx

Butler & Wilson is featured in Ugly Betty!

Credit: ABC.go.com

I love the Ugly Betty series, it's just pure silliness really but it never fails to make me laugh. I was watching the recently aired "The Sex Issue" (series 3 episode 19) when I noticed Betty wearing a piece of Butler & Wilson jewellery. In the scene where Marc and Amanda train Betty in their dubious methods of seduction, Betty is wearing, on her collar the famous B&W eye and teardrop brooch! Well fancy that!

Now we're on the subject of Butler & Wilson jewellery, you may not know that we hold one of the largest ranges of their jewellery apart from B&W themselves! I know how much you B&W fans like to collect pieces so we aim to provide a wide selection for your browsing pleasure. Some pieces are custom-orders, others are only available if you trek to their fabulous South Molton Street store in London. So whether it's a classic design or a latest style created by the legendary Simon Wilson, there's a huge array of B&W bling instore on Zentosa and you won't have to go out into the cold to add some festive sparkle to your wardrobe!

Happy Blingy Hallowe'en

Well the clocks have gone back and it's a truly dark and miserable evening. With summer now a distant memory, what could be better than some sparkly jewellery to remind us of the good things about winter? The parties, Christmas, New Year... it ain't all bad...

Before all that, there's Hallowe'en. Now this annual event has never really featured much in my life but I appreciate for some people, it is a great excuse to dress up and have a party and who doesn't love a good party?

To help you get into the mood, we have a fabulous selection of Hallowe'en appropriate jewellery from spider-themed rings and bracelets to Butler & Wilson's Swarovski-decorated skull and bat necklaces... There's even an orange pumpkin necklace by Disney Couture! So go on, forget about the trick, just treat yourself!

Top 10 Celebrity Jewellery Must-Haves

Being a bit of an avid celebrity follower as well as a jewellery-enthusiast, I've put together a list of our top 10 celebrity jewellery must-have items since Zentosa.com was established back in those pre-doom and gloom days of 2006. They're not in any particular order and I've cheated a bit by grouping all the Disney Couture pieces together but it's just a bit of fun. If you have any comments or can think of any additions for the list, feel free to share!

1) Kenneth Jay Lane's Large Gold Butterfly Necklace - as worn by Carrie/SJP in the Sex and the City series many yonks ago now, this is still a hugely popular piece. Currently out of stock , we are waiting for the lovely peeps at KJL NYC to send us more. Watch this space....

2) Nicole Richie's CC Skye Black Leather Double Wrap Bracelet - this gorgeous accessory epitomises rockchick-chic, we love it!

3) Michelle Obama's St-Erasmus Necklace - designed by the fabulous Pieter Erasmus, this beautifully handcrafted necklace is made out of gold thread, freshwater pearls and crystals - a true piece of art.

4) Mischa Barton's Dogeared gold wishbone necklace - designed by Hip Californian designer, Dogeared, this gorgeous gold-plated necklace is a classic.

5) CC Skye's Swarovski Angel Wings Necklace - we adore this sparkly piece and so does Rihanna!

6) Kenneth Jay Lane's Breakfast at Tiffany's pearl necklace - this gorgeous piece is a re-creation of the necklace worn by Audrey Hepburn in the iconic movie. Worn by Natalie Portman and Jenny Love Hewitt, it also featured in the 2008 Christmas edition of BBC soap Doctors (supplied by yours truly...)

7) Butler & Wilson jewellery has been worn by celebrities for ever - Beth Ditto is one cool lady who can really pull off Simon Wilson's statement pieces.

8) We think everyone needs (yes, really needs) a Kenneth Jay Lane enamel flower ring - as featured on Lindsay Price from Lipstick Jungle. We love them so much, we have them in a spectacular range of styles and colours. The bestselling style is the classic white and pearl.

9) The celebrity following of Disney Couture is in a league of its own with numerous famous fans including Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Nicole Richie and our own gorgeous Pixie Lott....

10) And finally, our home-grown Duffy in her kitsch yet cool Envelope Love Necklace.
