Now that we (finally!) have an excuse to dress up and get glam again, what better time to elevate our wardrobes with a little sparkle?
Beachy shells and pearls may have dominated the jewellery scene over the last couple of years, but it’s the classic investment pieces that we've got our eye on for post-lockdown life. These are the items that will never fail you — perhaps you'll even keep them for generations or they may appreciate in value in years to come.
Here, stylist Danielle Ward reveals her top ways to style jewellery now with a selection of shopping picks that will stand the test of time. And the best bit? You need only head to Bucherer for all your jewellery needs. The iconic Swiss retailer has an array of women's watches while the Peekaboo and Pastello collections by Bucherer Fine Jewellery are full of striking earrings, bracelets, necklaces, rings and more. Let's embrace the razzle dazzle once more.
Add a pop of personality
Danielle says: 'Jewellery is the most beautiful way of adding fun, individuality, colour and personality to a pared back palette. A pop of a pastel gem at the ears, a stacked ring mix of purple amethyst and multicoloured sapphire, a single flash of blue aquamarine at the neck. In amongst a predominantly silver, rose gold or white gold collection, a coloured gem you’ve chosen just for you instantly adds that special something.'
Mix up your metals
Danielle says: 'If your favourite watch is steel, be playful and clash it with a mix of rose gold bangles or bracelets made up of a rainbow of pastel shades. Unexpectedly cool, it makes for an eye-catching combo that’s totally unique to you.'
Embrace more is more
Danielle says: 'The key to getting the most joy possible from your jewels is to wear more than one at once. A long chain, pretty pendant and choker combo, hands littered with a selection of rings you love the most, one statement jewel on top of the other... layer, stack, layer, repeat.'
Try tonal layering
Danielle says: 'If bold colours aren’t your vibe, keep it tonal. Rose gold and pastel pink morganite work beautifully together and offer a much more subtle but still striking look. Sticking to the same shade at the ears, neck and wrists pulls a look together instantly.'
