All that glitters... might in fact be cubic zirconia...

Above expectations
Kings of Costume Jewellery, Butler & Wilson is a treasure trove of sparkly gems and trinkets. What I love about this place is the mixture of exquisite pieces and borderline tasteless tat. There is everything from delicate, vintage inspired earrings to over the top printed, embellished handbags. Great for buying gifts for younger sister's birthdays etc. Upstairs there is a vintage clothes section. Very expensive but the pieces are beautiful , I'm particularly impressed with the collection of 20's beaded dresses, to die for. It's all very well kept so it has a boutique feel rather than the usual jumble sale atmosphere of most vintage stores. If you do nothing else, check out their fabulous window displays. They change them every 5 minutes and they are always spectacular and inspiring.
