IF you want an extra special Christmas present to place under the tree for someone important this year, only jewellery will do.

Whether it's a pair of dazzling platinum earrings set with diamonds for the special lady in your life, or a blingtastic watch for the man who likes to dress to impress, ICE can cater for your every need.

The contemporary jewellery story in Reindeer Court also has a wide range of designer brands on offer to guarantee big smiles on Christmas morning.

Owner Ruth Quartermaine said: "For those who like their labels, a fabulous range of Armani men's and women's jewellery and watches have just arrived at ICE to take their place among the Dolce and Gabbana, Fossil, Breil and Fred Bennett designs.

"The Armani jewellery is stunning and is set with sapphires and topaz - and there are some great diamond watches.

"And if you're buying for a man who likes a bit of bling, Dolce and Gabbana is the name to go for. We were desperate for designs like this last year and they have come up with the goods.

"Breil are doing some fabulous pieces in stainless steel and titanium."

If there is nothing in store that takes your fancy and you want to get creative and give a truly individual gift, ICE also offers a bespoke jewellery making service at its workshop - and customers can even watch their designs being made.

Ruth and her friendly team are always on hand to offer advice on jewellery and for customers who like to take time over their purchases, late night shopping on Thursdays from November 30 would be

the perfect time to drop in.

"From Thursdays up until Christmas we are offering wine and nibbles in store, as well as discounts," Ruth said. "We also offer a free gift wrapping service and a free ICE polar bear with purchases over a certain price."
