Relaxed with jeans, t-shirt and a jumper most days. It’s casual by day but glitzy by night. 2.What role does your jewellery play in this?I just wear my old favourites throughout the day, so when getting dressed up to go out, that’s where the fun comes in... Shell BiographyDrop Earrings£80 Labradorite RoundStilla Ring £110 Duck Egg QuartziteKula Bracelet£90 3.Is there a specific type of piece you gravitate towards?Diamonds! 4.What's the best style advice you've been given? The most naturally glamorous person I have ever known was called Maonie, who was a model and a great friend of my grandfather. She told me to never wear orange as I look ghastly in it, and to paint the colour of my bedroom the colour that flatters me most, so I will always look my best when sitting up in bed. 5. Do you have a jewellery icon? Elizabeth Taylor 6. What’s your favourite or the most important piece of jewellery you own? A diamond ring passed down from my grandmother; it’s incredibly beautiful and means the world to me. Amazonite RoundStilla Ring £110 Double Spiga Stilla Ring £95 Opal Mini Icon AuraStud Earrings £795 7.How did Tart come to be?Tart’s first job was out on location for the cover shoot of Love magazine with Kate Moss shot by Tim Walker – such fun. I met Jemima when I was living in New York studying Photography at School of Visual Arts, and she was interning at Vanity Fair. We immediately bonded over food and being greedy. We often talked about our perfect restaurant and now that is becoming a reality 8 years later. The most rewarding part of Tart is working with a best friend every day doing something that we both love. 8. Where in the world is the best place for you to get recipe inspiration? Italy, South America, Asia – even on our own doorstep in London! 9. Where is your favourite place to dine in London? Petersham Nurseries Medium Spiga GoldHoop Earrings£95 Milky Aqua Quartz Oval Ring £85 Plain HoneycombGold Ring£350 10. What is the most obscure request you have had from a client? Nothing is obscure anymore. I remember being very shocked back in the day when being asked to make homemade almond milk, but that would be the norm now. A weird one was being asked for very, very overcooked vegetables – who would want that? 11. Which seasonal ingredients are you looking forward to using this Spring? Artichokes and wild garlic SHOP LUCY'S EDIT #MYACSTYLE Show us how you wear your Astley Clarke jewellery on Instagram.
