As the days grow shorter and the temperature drops, it’s easy to retreat into big comfy jumpers, tried and tested jeans and warm boots. But a winter wardrobe doesn’t have to lack style; one of the easiest ways to glam up an autumn look is by visiting your local independent jeweller for unique and on-trend pieces to brighten the long days ahead.
Recently jewellery has been about expressing your personality and making a statement, and the trend for big and bold continues into the autumn. Think large metal cuffs and necklaces brimming with rough semi-precious stones. Many of these more daring pieces this autumn will also be walking on the wild side having been inspired by fierce creatures – large golden claws, animal shaped pieces and intricate feathers will feature heavily on the catwalks this autumn. If you have a creative eye and are after a specific item to go with a particular outfit, why not ask your local jeweller about commissioning a unique statement piece just for you? This trend doesn’t look like it’s going to go away any time soon, so what better way to invest in your style and personality?
An alternative way to make a statement is by layering lots of smaller pieces. Ask your local jeweller about fine gold or silver chains with small, funky, and most importantly unique, pendants on the end of each one. Equally, layering lots of small rings really makes an impact, and why not make yourself known at any event by announcing your presence with jangling wrists loaded with bangles?! Your local jeweller will be able to advise how and what to layer together – getting the balance right can be a fine art.
Charm bracelets in all their various guises will still be popular, and they make a great gift for a fashion-conscious friend – your local jewellery shop will be able to advise on what charms work best with which bracelets, and also point you in the direction of a charm to suit the recipient’s personality.
Pearls and vintage inspired pieces continue to be popular. If you have an old pearl necklace that needs restringing, or a much-loved family heirloom which perhaps isn’t so fashionable any more, your local independent jeweller will be able to bring your old pieces back to life – and back on trend.
There really is something for everyone this autumn, so there’s no excuse not to jazz up your autumnal look. And remember that if you’re not sure what trend will suit you, you only have to look as far as your local independent jeweller for advice.
