She uses lab-grown diamonds because they "have the least impact on the environment."

Matilde studied her craft at the London College of Fashion before doing an MA in Entrepreneurship: Fashion and Creative Industries at Conde Nast College of Fashion and Design.

It was on a shopping trip with her mum she learned that diamonds can be lab-grown.

She said: "We walked into a shop where a jewellery brand was doing a pop-up. The founder came up and said: 'Did you know all our jewellery uses lab-grown diamonds?' I was like, 'What?' I was intrigued.

"My mum was born in Angola, which is where a lot of the horrible impact from blood diamonds took place. She was always vocal about it. She thought it was amazing that lab-grown diamonds existed."

Inside, there were pieces for men and women costing up to £1,850.

Although he's currently without a club, Mourinho's son Jose Jr is an able goalkeeper.

For three years he was on Fulham's books before he was released in 2017.

Now 23, he is considering a move into coaching.

And, if his dad is to be believed, he could become a better coach than him.

Back in 2018, the youngster was sat on the bench alongside his dad when Manchester United took on Swansea.

For his work experience, he then delivered a tactical analysis of what was wrong with his father's side.

Jose revealed: "In a period of a few bad results one day, he comes up with some analysis on my team — obviously suffering because Dad wasn’t doing well.

"We had lost to Watford and Manchester City, I think, and he came with the stats of the team. I showed them to my assistants and I told them, 'Be careful as one day this boy will take one of your places'.

The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree, as Mourinho's kids are making their own way in life.

Clearly, the Special One has produced a couple of Special Ones.
