Jessica BeresfordAssociate editor, Life & Leisure and jewellery editorAug 15, 2026 – 5.00amSomething I wear every day is my engagement ring. I’m not a huge jewellery person – I have nice pieces, but I’m not someone who will put on lots of bangles or bracelets in the morning. Also, with my work, I can’t have jangling things. But I always wear my engagement ring, which is actually my second one, because I got an upgrade and had my first reset into a necklace. Both are from Fairfax & Roberts, the jeweller in Sydney – my husband loves them. I don’t know a lot about diamonds, but he does his research. He’s very considered with jewellery.I also always wear my favourite fragrance – Armani Prive Rose d’Arabie – which I’ve used for maybe 12 years. I can’t smell it any more, even though it’s an intense fragrance, but people – men and women – always ask what it is. It’s unique and not too feminine, not too floral, just really beautiful. I also love Victoria Beckham’s fragrances, which are made by [master perfumer] Jerome Epinette.Subscribe to gift this articleGift 5 articles to anyone you choose each month when you subscribe.Subscribe nowAlready a subscriber?
