There's definitely something to be said for Celtic design.
The intricate curves, the craftsmanship and the skill echoes down the ages, even if the echoes come from a time when our ancestors were seriously overdoing it with the blue eye shadow.
And the blue lipstick.
And the blue body paint.
Anyway, I think you get the point.
But enough of primitive Celtic make-up techniques, and on to something that has most assuredly stood the test of time (notwithstanding the fact I picked up some awesome blue eye shadow in Poundland last week), this simple yet stunning Celtic bracelet.
And this is no ordinary piece of Celtic craftsmanship.
A distinguished Latin scholar (no less an authority than someone with a GCSE in the subject) has speculated that this diamante encrusted bracelet is based on the exact design of one worn by legendary warrior queen Boadicea, when she bitch-slapped the Romans.
The original Essex girl took great delight in polishing off a few Italians in rapid time (today her descendants take a similar approach at the end of the night when scoffing a Spicy Hot One with extra cheese from the takeaway).
However, despite the fact that she was a dab hand at dispensing butchery and slaughter, as befits any true queen Boadicea loved her jewellery, including bracelets, torques, the odd exotic native piercing and reputedly a pair of Roman balls for earrings.
So if you fancy channelling your Ancient Briton (big hair and big boobs) or Warrior Queen (big hair and big boobs), then this bracelet is for you.
And at the moment it's reduced by 25% so you needn't tear up the local Roman settlement to get your hands on it!
