If you’re one for sober dressing, you can still survive this season’s bright overtones. Develop a sweet tooth for the baubles you buy. Splurge on gems to your heart’s desire, without watching your weight. Enjoy this fat-free treat, shamelessly.

How to: Invest in the juiciest colours in gemstones — cherry garnets, golden lemon topaz, mouth-watering carnelians and guava-green tourmalines. The chunkier the better.

In diamonds, go for all the possible colours.

If you are the classic pearl girl, there is a lot to choose from. South Sea danglers, ropes of Japanese pink pearls, clusters of Hyderabadi coloured whoppers…take your pick. Over accessorise yourself.

If you prefer one off pieces, this is the time to put on your creative cap and invent your very own signature accessory. Let your antique brooch bejewel your raw silk clutch bag. Decorate your dull T-sandals with a multi-coloured earring. Tack your chunky necklace around those churi sleeves. Fasten your scarf with a large safety pin and hang with all the baubles you can find.
