I know the designer has an illustrious resume, including Creative Director at Boucheron, as well as a cult following but when I saw the prices of some of these pieces, my eyes popped. Am I missing something here? Is she the new JAR?

Ever since I saw a pic of her signature blue bird ring, I was enamored. Love her whimsy... but will not be paying those prices.

I like her imaginative designs but those prices are silly.

The blue bird ring is in tradition of ancient Middle Eastern/Persian jewellery design, but a beautiful re-working of the classic.

I do like her pieces, she did a lace design which was lovely, but I think her prices are toppy.

Yes i love her work,her designs are fab but her price is not cheap.

love the green drop earrings on net-a-porter.com

The carrot ring cracks me up. But seriously, for whimsy, I'm find with Betsy Johnson.

I agree some pieces are different and whimsical like the bird ring, but I don't get the carrot one!? Personally, I prefer Victoire de Castellane for Dior Joaillerie.

I can't get excited about her - IMHO she doesn't compare with JAR. I was lucky enough to see the JAR exhibition at London's Somerset House some years ago and I occasionally open the hardback catalogue and just drool over his astonishing work.

Now your talking (and I only own a catalogue )

My favourite for cool British jewellery is Stephen Webster

Nothing touches Elizabeth Gage, her designs fuse cool/sophisticated, traditional/modern

A fantastic, fabulous, amazing (Lebanese) design house is Tabbah and their more 'casual' range is called Copacabana. I would love a snake bangle
