Define Your Style

Is your jewellery style classic or contemporary? Modern and minimal? Bold and trend-led? Do you prefer statement pieces or understated delicate jewellery? Defining your style with help create a jewellery capsule wardrobe where each piece complements your style and completes your wardrobe. Knowing your style is the first step to finding jewellery you’ll want to wear everyday.


Stock Up On Basics

Once you know your style, it’s time to stock up on the basics. Focusing on purchasing jewellery staples will help you to create a versatile collection with pieces that can be worn everyday and all year around. Every piece of jewellery you own should be a joy to wear; picking jewellery that suits your life and your style means you’ll never want to take it off.


Layer, Stack, Mix and Match

You don’t need bold jewellery to make a statement. The best kind of jewellery is versatile and timeless; opt for the more minimal jewellery pieces and develop your style by layering, stacking, mix and matching your pieces together to create different looks. Statement pieces tend to be garish and trend-led meaning they won’t last the season, choose minimal pieces that can be styled in multiple ways. Making a statement with minimal jewellery is all about length, shape, and attention to detail.


Avoid Clashing

Style is about cohesion making attention to detail everything. Be aware of whether your jewellery compliments your outfit and avoid any clash points that may ruin your overall look. Minimalist jewellery enhances minimal clothing so be mindful of the patterns and prints on your clothes, and take note of bold hardware on bags and belts. Less is more; keep your jewellery simple when wearing statement clothing pieces, and when your outfit is minimal get playful with layering necklaces and stacking rings.


Switch-Up The Metals

Why choose between gold and silver when you can wear both? Mixing metals is no longer a faux pax, it’s a style choice. Adopt a modern approach to your jewellery by mixing gold jewellery with silver jewellery to create effortless style. Mix and match studs, layer necklaces, and stack rings to switch-up the metals.
