The singer, 22, was loaned the necklace and earrings by jewellery maker Tasaki.

But the brand insisted a security guard must be with the star, right.
A source said: “This is no ordinary piece of jewellery and it would have been an absolute headache if it had gone missing or got broken.”
Mimi recently opened up about how important it is for her to look after herself and switch off from work.
She reveals: “When I signed my record deal at 18 — four years ago — all I cared about was making sure everyone was happy. But now the main concern is me. I’ve grown as a person.
“At the end of last year, I had a bit of a situation where everything got on top of me.
“I get bad anxiety and I’d just finished my American tour and been away from home for a long, long time. When I got back to London I was straight back to work and it got too much.
“So, I started mindset coaching and learned how to control my thoughts more. Learning how powerful the brain is and having the strength to control it and dictate what goes on, helps.
“Your mind can conjure up thoughts and then you react to them. Dealing with anxiety and processing and learning from it is what’s made me stronger with every day.”
Mimi says her good friend and fellow Brit nominee Tom Grennan helped her through some of her difficult times.
“Tom is like a brother to me,” she says. “We are so supportive of one another and he’s been such a light. He’s really helped me when I started to suffer with anxiety. He’s given me great advice — he’s amazing.”

Mimi says if there was one famous person she could meet, it would be Harry Styles[/caption]
As well as Tom, Mimi says her closest friend in the music industry is singer Tate McRae who Mimi toured with last year. “Tate is an American artist, and we are very similar in age,” she says. “Whenever we’re close or in the same country, we try to meet up for a catch-up.
“She’s an absolute legend and I feel very protective of her as well.”
And if there was a famous person she could meet?
“Probably Harry Styles,” she says with a smile. “I’ve seen him at an event, but I’ve never spoken to him. I love the sound he’s created — I’m such a big fan.”

A MASKED gang stormed an isolated farmhouse where a five-year-old was sleeping and made off with a haul of five guns and jewellery worth more than £200,000.
Cops are hunting the gang of five men who terrorised a 55-year-old woman in the property after they climbed in through an upstairs window.

The gang broke in after 9pm on Friday[/caption]
Worried detectives confided that among the items stolen was a firearms safe which contained three rifles, two shotguns and a quantity of ammunition.
Police were called to the remote farmhouse in Eynsham, Oxfordshire, shortly before 9.30pm on Friday after the gang had fled from the scene in two cars.
A spokesman for Thames Valley Police said on Sunday night: “We are releasing CCTV images as part of an appeal for witnesses following an aggravated burglary at a family home.
“Between 9.10pm and 9.20pm on Friday, a group of five men broke into a farmhouse in a secluded area of Eynsham.
“A 55-year-old woman was home at the time, along with a five-year-old girl who was asleep upstairs. The other occupants of the property were out at the time.
“The group of offenders entered the house through an upstairs window and then forced the victim to get down on the floor while they proceeded to search the house.
“During this search they caused damage to the property before stealing items worth around £200,000.
“These items included a firearms safe which contained three rifles, two shotguns and ammunition, as well as items of jewellery and handbags.
“They also stole the victim’s mobile phone and car, a blue Nissan Juke with the partial number plate WU69.
“The offenders then left the scene in this vehicle as well as dark coloured coupe, possible an Audi S5 or A5.
“No-one was injured as a result of this incident.”
Investigating officer, Detective Sergeant Simon Pond, based at Banbury Police station, said: “This was a hugely distressing incident for the victim, as well as the rest of the family who were not present during the break in, especially as it occurred while a young child was asleep.
“We have launched a thorough investigation and believe that the offenders could be linked to a sighting of a man at the property on January 9.
“If you have any information relating to this burglary, or any other information at all which you think could help our appeal, please contact us on 101.
“This could include sightings of the Nissan Juke, or information about the items which were stolen.
“Alternatively, you make a report online, or contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”

THE Queen will be laid to rest wearing two pieces of plain jewellery – her Welsh gold wedding ring and pearl earrings.

The priceless Cullinan, named after the owner of the Premier Mine in South Africa, was presented to King Edward VII in 1907.
He sent it to the world’s best cutter, Joseph Asscher of Amsterdam, who split the 3,106-carat stone – and promptly fainted.

IN 1893, the astonishing sum of £5,000 was collected from girls in Great Britain and Ireland to buy a wedding present for the future Queen Mary.
This diamond tiara was bought from royal jeweller Garrard and the rest of the money was given to widows and orphans of men lost when HMS Victoria sank that same year.
Queen Elizabeth called it ‘Granny’s tiara’.

THE St Edward’s Crown, which King Charles will be crowned with, was made in 1661 for Charles II’s coronation and the restoration of the monarchy.
It cost £13,000 – about the same as three warships. Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell had sold or destroyed the medieval royal regalia, removing the jewels and melting the gold into coins stamped ‘Commonwealth of England’.
The Sovereign’s Orb, centre, representing Christ’s authority on Earth, is covered with 365 diamonds, 18 rubies, nine emereralds and nine sapphires. The Sovereign’s Sceptres with Dove and Cross, far right, were a snip at £1,465.
Since 1911 the cross has held Cullinan I, the main cut of the world’s biggest diamond, a gift to Queen Mary from South Africa.
The Imperial State Crown, contains jewels from Charles II’s 1661 crown, remade and added to for George I in 1714, Victoria in 1838 and the Queen’s father, George VI, in 1937.

A GIFT from the Sovereign to close family members. They are never publicised and the first anyone knows about them is when a royal wears one, like Diana in 1982.
The Queen often wore one given to by her father George VI. Queen Consort Camilla wears one given by Elizabeth. On State occasions, the Queen Mum would wear two – one from her husband and another from her daughter.
KING GEORGE III FRINGE TIARA
![](https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/dk-graphic-queens-jewels-fringe-tiara.jpg?strip=all&w=960)
THIS piece, with its vertical rows of diamonds, belonged to King George III and was first worn by Queen Victoria.
In 1947, the Queen Mum lent it to her daughter as ‘something borrowed’ for her marriage to Philip.
On the day of the wedding the tiara’s frame snapped. The court jeweller raced to his workshop under police escort to repair it in time for the ceremony.
Princess Anne also wore it at her wedding to Captain Mark Phillips in 1973, as did Princess Beatrice, above right, when she married Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in July this year.
THE CULLINAN BROOCH
![](https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/dk-graphic-queens-jewels-cullinan-brooch.jpg?strip=all&w=960)
THE Queen called it ‘Granny’s Chips’, Cullinan III and IV, cut from the world’s biggest diamond, was given to Queen Mary by South Africa in 1907.
It is the single most valuable piece of jewellery Elizabeth owned and she wore it rarely, on special occasions, such as at Buckingham Palace on her 2012 Diamond Jubilee.
Cullinan I, worn by Mary at her coronation in 1911, below right, was later set in the Sovereign’s Sceptre With Cross.
