Ladies’ Day, one of the most glamorous events of the summer social ‘season’, is the glittering jewel of Royal Ascot on 16^th June.

The event itself is steeped in tradition and celebrates a heritage and pageantry dating back almost three hundred years. However, it’s not only the horses turning heads, but the fashion too.

Fascinating fascinators, flattering cuts and sky-high stilettos may be a magnet for the trend pages, but for us the real stars are the glittering jewellery pieces.

Our picks for Ladies’ Day include an array of eye catching and beautiful designs, but the question is, which would you dare to wear?

Boodles Diamond set cabaret hoop earrings in platinum

A classic jewellery staple, these beautiful hoops are guaranteed to add a timeless twist to any outfit.

Not only do they feature 39 round brilliant cut diamonds set to the front and inner side of the hoop, but they are also magnificently complemented by the beautiful star motifs that are also detachable, allowing you to tone down your look if you so desire.

As coloured stones are a key trend this summer, be at the forefront of fashion with this stunning multi gemstone and diamond necklace.

This beautiful creation is made up of alternating pave set round brilliant cut diamond circles and multiple leaf shaped cabochon fashioned gemstones. This would complement a cream fitted suit quite beautifully, or, for an even bolder approach, a vivid canary yellow.
