Nothing screams summer like a fruit jewel — and Jessica McCormack is fully onboard with her brand-new Fruit Salad collection, an offering inspired by her orchard favourites (hello peach) and rendered in bright, saturated, pavé-set jewels in deliciously 3D shapes. Its timing also couldn’t be more perfect — just as McCormack opens her first American bricks-and-mortar store on Madison Avenue, New York. One can imagine the stylish Upper East-siders queuing up for a ruby-red apple pendant.

It’s quite the moment when Rolex launches a new colour on its watch dials — it tends to stick to classic hues like white or dark green — but this spring it has spoilt us with three unusual shades: beige, lavender and pistachio.

Time for a confession: I haven’t worn my engagement ring for more than three years. But before you jump to any conclusions I can explain why. Stupidly I damaged it by wearing an eternity band next to it that wore away part of its gold setting. In a panic I took it off thinking that the central diamond might actually drop out. Once I realised it wouldn’t and started investigating getting it repaired, I noticed I hadn’t missed it that much, and (gasp) I wasn’t that keen on it any more.
