Good karma Hand candy has taken an ethnic turn at Thomas Sabo this season, with bejewelled rings and intricately wrought karma beads. Hindu motifs, deeply dyed orbs and glittering pendants adorn bracelets while flower-shaped jewels form the centrepieces of sterling-silver rings. We love the Purity of Lotus ring in royal blue (top, HK$1,520) - a contemporary spin on Lady Di's famous ring, which now adorns the duchess of Cambridge's finger. Top off the look with the Lotus Aqua charm bracelet (below, HK$8,750), with riveted silver, powder blue and aquamarine beads. Thomas Sabo is in IFC Mall, Central, tel: 2295 3585.
Heel year! A sassy mix of lace-up stilettos and feisty metallic pumps, Gianvito Rossi's Autumn/Winter 2014 collection mixes western-inspired designs with sassy peep-toes and ankle cuff kitten heels. A strain of 70s glam runs through the label's boot collection, touting ankle, knee-high and thigh-high versions of the classic cowboy. For seductive legs, we love the Frantic lace-up sandal (HK$9,000) as well as the practical, but no less provocative, cowgirl bootie (HK$8,500). Gianvito Rossi is available at On Pedder at Joyce, New World Tower, 18 Queen's Road Central, Central, Hong Kong, tel; 2118 3489
