If you have anything left over after cashing in your life savings on the dress that kept calling ‘me, me, pick me’ then we heartily recommend jewellery. In this case, lets be both specific and classic and go for pearls.

The 16 inch chain here is a cultured freshwater set from Tiffany’s and comes in at a reasonable £275. It will go with anything so technically is an investment. Plus it will never date, so frankly, it is a bargain too. Guys – this is a good one to buy your bride as a wedding gift. Failing that, my address is…

Far be it from me to stop there when something sparkly catches my eye. Team the necklace with pearl studs on an 18k gold backing for £320 also from Tiffany’s.

If your pockets don’t sink quite as deep, Harrods have these simulated pearl drops with Swarovski crystals for only £22.95

In their sale, they currently have a very pretty three row simulated pearl and gold plate necklace, dropped down to £39.95.

Once you’ve name dropped Harrods, everyone will assume it’s the real deal!
