X Factor 2011 contestants and judges wear latest in Kleshna poppy evolution

The contestants and judges on X Factor 2011 have been proudly wearing their eye-catching Kleshna poppy brooches and rings as the jeweller develops her range, providing a contemporary way to support the Poppy Appeal.

Judges Gary Barlow, Louis Walsh, Kelly Rowland and Tulisa donned the brooches on Saturday and Sunday nights’ shows while the contestants also took to the stage wearing the jewellery.

Following the sell-out success of Kleshna’s signature Swarovski crystal encrusted Poppy brooch last year, the jeweller has added an entirely new range of signature pieces to the 2011 line. Marking the 90th Anniversary Poppy Appeal this year, an enameled Poppy Ring set with Swarovski crystals, which was worn by Tulisa, Rowland and various contestants on Saturday’s programme, has made its debut in the collection.

In addition, to celebrate the enduring symbol of Remembrance in a stylish and contemporary way, Kleshna has created a version of the Poppy hairpieces created for Strictly Come Dancing and X Factor stars in 2010, in the form of hair slides.

To date in 2011, pieces from the range have been worn on X Factor, Loose Women, This Morning and have also been seen on JLS, Emma Bunton and Myleene Klass.
