Prestigious Bond Street jeweller, House of Mouawad, was proud to add the perfect finishing touches to Tuesday's Ghost catwalk show; part of London Fashion Week. Under probably the tightest security ever seen at this world-renowned event, over £4.5 million worth of some of the most beautiful antique and contemporary jewellery in the world enhanced the coming season's designs for Ghost.

Among the highlights were model Lisa (No. 5: satin camisole / wool flannel tattoo butterfly dressing gown) wearing one of the most sensational pieces in the world, the white gold and pear-shaped diamond drop Riviera Necklace, worth an astonishing £902,000. Model Rachel (No.7: mohair tunic/beret) graced the catwalk accessorised with the Black & White Diamond bracelet, worth over £439,000, while the ever-beautiful Jacquetta Wheeler (No.39: corset quilt fitted jacket/corset quilt trousers) was almost upstaged by one of the most expensive handbags in the world - a heart-shaped diamond-encrusted bag worth £1.2 million. The show-stopping finale featured Siobhan (No.49: georgette camisole/winter sun and rose velvet coat) in an exquisite antique emerald and diamond set, mounted in silver, which was once owned by Queen Marie Antoinette, worth over £155,000.

Ghost thanked House of Mouawad "for trusting us with their beautiful and priceless jewellery, crafted from the finest gold and precious stones", and said that without them "our show would have less sparkle".
