Bling on the pretty girls

Jewellers assistants turned models at the weekend, bringing a whole new meaning to the term "chain store". Instead of arranging displays, Gill Venning and Caitlin Curran became the displays at a Macintyres of Frederick Street event.

They dressed down to sparkle, helping shoppers considering jewellery as a Christmas gift by showing how items might look in situ. Visitors to the soiree enjoyed warmed Magners.

Gaynor Turner, the firm's director, said the models had no trouble encouraging freezing shoppers to step in to warm up.
