For those shopping these latest trends, storing and cleaning your jewellery to keep their longevity is important. Liberty’s jewellery expert, Eirene Varnavides advised people to store their pieces in non-humid conditions, away from sunlight.

She says not to panic if you see black spots on your silver pieces as they just need to be cleaned with a cloth which should remove the marks. Another cleaning tool is a soft toothbrush to clean between a stone and its setting. “The brush can be used dry, or with warm water and a small amount of washing up liquid,” she added.
