Love to Layer

Perhaps we were spoilt with all of the sunshine this year, but to me it seems as if the seasons have suddenly jumped straight from summer to winter and completely missed out autumn.  In this chilly weather there’s nothing better than wrapping up in lots of layers to keep cosy and warm, so we thought why not extend this must have winter trend into your jewellery collection?

Gone are the days of less is more, layering your jewellery and building up bold statement designs is a fun way to create new looks with some of your favourite pieces. We’ve been experimenting with chains and pendants to see what looks we can come up with and these are some of our favourites.

Chunky oversized pieces of jewellery are the perfect way to grab attention, but the fashion rules have changed and they no longer have to be worn alone. Mixing bold pendants with delicate chains or necklaces in different textures, will add a chic and on-trend finish to your outfit. We love this statement gold locket with a long belcher chain paired with a shorter gold rope chain to create an edgy and contemporary twist to two necklaces that would look simple and classic if worn alone.

We still can’t get over how stunning Miranda Kerr looked at her Vogue shoot wearing one of our gold St Christopher pendants, so we thought we would use her as our style inspiration for our next look.  As it is such a dainty necklace we chose to team it against a longer, thicker necklace with lots of texture. The contrast between the delicate St Christopher and the bold tassel pendant creates a striking look that’s perfect for everyday wear.

The layering trend doesn’t just stop at necklaces, stacking up bracelets has grown to become a fashion favourite when it comes to dressing up your wrist.  There are no ends to how experimental you can get with your look, whether you choose to mix chains with bangles, watches or friendship bracelets. We wanted to create a combination with glamour and elegance for an evening look. Our first choice was of course to go for something with a dash of sparkle, so we opted for this stunning crystal set bangle from Radiance made with Swarovski® crystal elements. To finish the look off we kept it simple and teamed it with a delicate white gold chain and a bracelet with a trendy cross charm.
