What celebrities have worn your jewellery?

Lately I've been thrilled to see all generations wearing my designs on the red carpet, from chic Hollywood mothers like Isla Fisher and Brooke Shields, to the fresh young trend-setters Miley Cyrus and Vanessa Hudgens.

I could barely contain my excitement when I saw Sarah Jessica Parker wearing one of my signature  necklaces in an episode of 'Sex And The City'. I'd always considered it to be a classic piece, yet here it was suddenly looking very fashion-forward!

One of the most interesting celebrity experiences I had was when Elton John asked me to make a belt buckle for him!

Tell us more about the inspirations behind your designs...

My mother was a couturier and my most influential teacher in both life and art. She taught me to see the beauty in the most common details which has helped to shape my sense of style and design.

The women who wear my jewellery are also a great inspiration to me. I still get a thrill when I walk down the street and see someone wearing my designs.

What makes your jewellery designs different?

I like to think that each piece I create reflects my passion for design. I make wearable jewellery that's understated and elegant that can be worn with anything from jeans to evening wear and everything in between! I want women to enjoy my jewellery and not consign it to the back of the drawer and only wear it on special occasions.

Judith's top tip:
Transform your outfit from day to evening by adding a pendant to a chain to make it look and feel more special. A necklace can take on a whole new meaning with different pendants.
