Lady Penelope's Lucky Birthstones

A quick meander through a few more pages of Lady Penelope's Xmas 1968 Fab Club annual and here we have another jewellery related article. She really is a girl after my own heart with all her jewellery talk although, I have to admit, she beats me hands down on the wardrobe stakes. Mind you, a tiara and fur would not look out of place in very glamorous Ilkley. Lady P has a different take on lucky birthstones. As far as she's concerned it not the month in which you were born but, rather, the date.


Born on the 1st, 10th, 19th or 28th: Lucky birthstone - topaz
Born on the 2nd, 11th, 20th, 29th: Lucky birthstone - moonstone
Born on the 3rd, 12th, 21st, 30th: Lucky birthstone - amethyst
Born on the 5th, 14th, 23rd: Lucky birthstone - diamond (and how lucky are these dates!)
Born on the 6th, 15th, 24th: Lucky birthstone - turquoise
Born on the 7th, 16th or 25th: Lucky birthstone - aquamarine (that's me)
Born on the 4th, 13th, 22nd, 31st: Lucky birthstone - crystal (oh dear, never mind)
Born on the 8th, 17th, 26th: Lucky birthstone - onyx
Born on the 9th, 18th, 27th: Lucky birthstone - ruby


Hope you get the birthstone you want if not the birthstone you wer meant to have!

SPINNING JEWELRY UK: THE LATEST CRAZE TO HIT THE UK

SPINNING JEWELRY UK: THE LATEST CRAZE TO HIT THE UK

Fresh from those wonderful Danish Designers, Spinning Jewelry UK arrived at Nicholsons Jewellers recently and has already caused a stir in those who appreciate Scandinavian designs, appearing to be quite popular with the Lovelinks Lovers - another Danish Design. For those who have yet to become addicted, Spinning Jewelry is a fashion forward concept aimed at those who value their individuality. Spinning Jewelry is unique - in fact, it's just like you. The collection of Spinning Jewelry silver rings are designed to be "mix and match" by wearing several together. The appeal of Spinning Jewelry lies in its ability to unleash your creativity and flaunt your originality, whether that means pretty and dainty, with just one or two Spinning Jewelry rings, or bold and dramatic with as many as you can wear. The sterling silver Spinning Jewelry rings are available in 50 or so designs and are set with cubic zirconia, diamonds, pearls, coral or onyx. Some are engraved and others are enamelled. The more you wear the more the possible combinations of ever-changing Spinning Jewelry rings you will have and, at prices of £17.00 & £27.00 each or £65.00 if set with a diamond, you really can be an addict. Become a collector: buy any six Spinning Jewelry rings and receive a seventh from the £17.00 collection as a reward*. Just ask for a Collector's Card and have it stamped each time you buy. You don't have to buy them all at once but you do have to buy them from the same jeweller (well, why go anywhere else?).

*Choice subject to availability.
