The winner of our draw:

‘Claudia Bradby earrings were my first pearl adornments. When I wore them, I heard so many compliments! I never parted with them – I wore them for special occasions and on the weekdays, for work and during holidays...And then I lost one pearl earring at the event where Imet my husband. I sometimes joke that it was an even trade – a pearl for love. I am happy – I have a wonderful husband and two kids. We went to Catalonia for our wedding journey, during our honeymoon he gave me new pearl earrings. Now for me the pearls are associated with the most wonderful moments of my life and they adorn me during special events.' Zanda Siliniece

The office favourites:

‘I love silver and I am lucky enough to have lots of jewellery, but the thing that stands out is the necklace my husband bought me when we were first married. He has always been terrible at presents and I have gone beyond hinting and actually taken him to the shop and pointed out the one I liked. Come my birthday I was pleased to see the right box – but when I opened it there was a totally different one inside. His response- ‘I didn’t like the other one, this is much better and I will be the one that has to look at you when you wear it.’ (!!) I went back, bought the one I wanted for myself but kept both. I have managed to put up with him for 27 yrs now, and every time I look at that necklace I wonder how.’Sally Tedder

‘Just over a year ago I travelled to Salcombe with a friend for a wedding. I called into Amelia’s Attic on Fore St and stumbled across Claudia’s jewellery. I immediately loved it and bought a battered heart necklace, bracelet and earrings. These have now become part of me, they go everywhere with me and would be one of things I’d grab in case of a fire. When I recently lost the heart of the bracelet it was as though someone had ripped a piece out of me, thankfully your amazing team sorted it out and I’m complete once again. You’re quite right, jewellery is very personal, I have never thought of it like that before!’Amanda Tosh

‘My favourite pair of diamond earrings. I received them for my 21^st birthday. It is in a simple setting of studs. It means so much to me because it was given to me by my grandmother on my Mom’s side. They belonged to my Grandmother and she wanted each of her grandchildren to have something of hers. Since I am the oldest she decided to give me her diamond earrings. Every time I wear them I am reminded of her and everything fun we did when I was a child and everything that we have yet to do.’Kelly Chan

‘My Story:  It’s my birthday! Love from me!

My Headline  Light as a feather, heavy on class!

My Claudia Bradby Favourite: Earrings Elegant design, so light I barely feel them, yet their impact is astonishing- people notice them, comment on them, covet them. (I’ve bought them as gifts for family and friends). They make me feel so feminine and beautiful!’Jill Brook
