Self-help jewellery
Whether or not you believe that wearing charms can have a life-enhancing effect, you have to agree that these necklaces are divine. The non-sceptics among you should go for Ganesh (the Hindu god represented as an elephant) if you’re seeking success or wisdom, or to banish obstacles from your path; or Buddha for serenity and enlightenment. It can’t hurt to try.
Silver Ganesh charm necklace, £75, and gold Buddha, £85, both from Calmia; 0845 009 2450
