toast, bling, cast-off gewgaw, baubles and bling

Victoria and Albert Museum

No-one does bling quite like Beyoncé, and this exquisite 'Papilion Ring' is no exception. Gifted to the museum by the singer, it features an ingenious spring system enables the delicate titanium wings to gently 'flutter' with the movement of the wearer's hand.

"This is one of the most sensational political upsets of our time. Theresa May – a wretched dishonest excuse of a politician, don’t pity her – launched a general election with the sole purpose of crushing opposition in Britain.

But contemporary Holly Golightlys are out there. Tiffany just hopes they still pine for baubles and bling—not just stacking rings from Catbird.
