Sarah Jessica Parker, this time turned her hands to jewellery design, collaborating with London-based fine jewellery designer Kat Florence on The Flawless Diamonds Collection.
"There is so much that goes into jewellery," said Parker told Vogue UK magazine.
She further added "It is so personal. As an actor I have to remove all of my jewellery in order to take on the characters I play. I get to a trailer for work every day and I have to take off my jewellery to play a character, to be someone else. To me, jewellery is a very special choice."

Launching on November 5, the new collection is split into four initial "chapters" or styles, each celebrating different techniques and decades of design.
