  Jasper "Yogi" Gough

  Opal and diamond brooch, circa 1900, and ruby and diamond pendant
  Estimate £2,500-3,500

  This is so gorgeously chocolate-box and romantic, you could afford to team it with something very sharp. I think the brooch would look good fastened at the top of a crisp white shirt, teamed with black cigarette pants and a black tuxedo jacket.

  Pair of jadeite and diamond earrings, Cartier, circa 1915
  Estimate £3,500-5,000

  I love these dramatic, elegant drop earrings. They're so lavish, you'd only need a scraped-back chignon and a simple black polo-neck to make them look their best.

  Jasper "Yogi" Gough

  Lacquer and diamond cigarette case, Cartier, 1920s and later
  Estimate £4,000-5,500

  Smoking is a terrible habit, I know. But it's better for you if you only smoke at the very best parties. And if you give most of them away. Do it with Great Gatsby elegance with this beautiful gold and diamond cigarette case from the 1920s.

  Sapphire and diamond ring
  Estimate £24,000-34,000

  You don't have to wait for a lover to buy you a ring as gorgeous as this, you might be waiting a life time. It's big and striking enough to buy for yourself and wear it on your right hand as a cocktail ring.

  Peridot bracelet
  Estimate £4,000-6,000

  I love the unusual, dazzling colour of these peridot stones. It would look perfect with bare arms and a tan (natural preferable, but bottle fine).

  Emerald and diamond bracelet
  Estimate £2,000-3,000

  This bracelet is so pretty and feminine it could really lift a very simple outfit, such as black tunic dress and a pair of pared-back leather sandals.

  Two aquamarine rings
  Estimate £3,500-4,500

  Aqua Marine is such a light, delicate stone. These rings would be such a treat for someone who has clean, modern, understated taste.

  Bracelet
  Estimate £3,500-5,500

  I love bold, gold jewellery and this chunky bracelet is classic. Some boyfriend-cut Levis and a relaxed-fit white shirt would match perfectly with it.

  Jasper "Yogi" Gough

  Tiger's eye necklace, 'Alhambra', Van Cleef & Arpels
  Estimate £7,000-9,000

  The stones on this necklace are so rich, deeply-coloured and unusual. They'd look beautiful setting off a bright, jewel-coloured shift dress in the evening.

  Pair of emerald and diamond ear clips
  Estimate £4,000-6,000

  Moons and stars are my favourite thing and I love finding them in textiles, design and jewellery. These crescent-moon-shaped earrings are so special and unique - the emeralds look like they're giving off their own mystical green light. If I had these I think I'd wear them with everything - I'd never take the things off. (I hope a generous friend in a good mood is reading this).

  Necklace, Pomellato
  Estimate £3,500-5,500

  This gold cable-link necklace is something you could wear every day to make an outfit look instantly chic, whether it's casual or formal. It would look even better paired with LOT 269 the matching bracelet.
