    Jessica Diamond

    Jessica is the watch and jewellery director at The Sunday Times Style and jewellery director at The Times Luxx and Times Luxury online. She is also the co-founder of Hardy & Diamond, a tour operator with a gemstone twist.

    ‘Re-using gemstones and gold pays in so many ways, turning "something old" into "something new" again’

    Approximately 40% of all UK engagements happen between November and Valentine's Day, but choosing what to propose with can be a minefield. Why not look at what's hiding in the family jewellery box, says Jessica Diamond.
