On the Pulse
Highlights from Bonhams’ next London jewellery sale (December 5): late twentieth century designs by women. Marianne Ostier’s architectural diamond ear climbers, Marina B’s ruby and baguette diamond earclips reversing to a plainer onyx setting, Angela Cummings’ superbly smooth gold and black jade cuff or Paloma Picasso’s diamond-sparkled bangle. Or follow a grand lady owner with sapphire and diamond earrings with detachable drops from Dame Joan Collins’s collection.
Cult Japanese designer Limi Feu chooses London for her first pop-up opening, until January 9. She learnt her craft in the studio of her illustrious father Yohji Yamamoto, one of the original trio of Paris-based, seminal Japanese designers. She embraces his sense of volume, monochrome and whimsy but adds her own, slightly tougher mood blending rock chick, anime and modern sculpture, subtly embellished, wearable and sensibly priced.

Possibly the quirkiest watch collaboration ever - everyone's first watch brand, Timex, with fount of all things fashion avant-garde and repurposed, Maison Margiela. Timex x MM6 Maison Margiela takes the watch brand's workhorse T80 digital model and returns it to its 1970s roots, adding MM's signature numeric logo on front and clasp and an extra bracelet to create a stack; also a ring version. A collector's piece at a bargain piece.
