MAKE A PERSONAL STATEMENT
Go ahead and splash out on that diamond-encrusted bracelet you’ve been lusting after all season. Don’t feel guilty about splurging on current statement ‘fashion’ jewellery pieces that you just love and want to wear right away - aka: those minimalist drop earrings that make your heart pound. Go ahead and relish the pleasure you get out of every wear.

KEEP IT CLASSIC
While statement fashion jewellery will give you that on-trend rush, don’t hesitate to also invest in some timeless pieces. Think that low key pendant or elegant ring that you know you will be able to wear for life.

BREAK THE RULES
Don’t be afraid of breaking the old-fashioned jewellery rules, such as ‘only gold suits my skin tone’ or ‘never mix your metals’. Play around this season with mixing different metals and break out of your comfort zone. The rules are there ain’t no rules.
