At this year’s London Fashion Week, jewellery was more prominent than ever, and that jewellery was all about making a statement. It’s only right, therefore, that you’re kept ahead of the trends and on top of what is happening in the world of fashion jewellery, so that you can make a statement of your own. What better way to do that? Visit your local independent jeweller, of course! Here are just a few of the trends seen on the catwalk at this year’s London Fashion Week:
Layering
One of the biggest trends seen on the runway at this year’s London Fashion Week was that of layering jewellery. Creating a statement look by layering one necklace over another, or even multiple necklaces, was seen in many collections. If you want to add to, rather than overpower, an outfit, visit your local jewellery shop and check out their collection of fine chains, which are perfect for layering. Alternatively, if you like chunky jewellery, ask your local jeweller about teaming up strings of oversized beads or even large metallic collar-style necklaces.
Statement pendants
Following on from layering, another of this September’s catwalk trends for necklaces was the statement pendant. Choose a design with large, geometric shapes and sharp angles; if you can’t find what you’re looking for, your local independent jeweller will be able to custom-make a piece to exactly suit your needs. Why not include a statement stone or gem too, to give the piece extra wow-factor?
Rock chic
Looks inspired by the rock world make their appearance on the catwalk this September. From knuckle joint rings, to outfits adorned with rock-motif brooches, rock chic was everywhere. If you’re tempted by such a specialist look, then why not have a piece custom made? Your local independent jeweller will be able to make any piece of jewellery using any motif or design your rocking heart desires!
Oversized cuffs and rings
Bracelets and rings went super-sized on this year’s catwalk to make a statement of their own. For wrist wear, cuffs were extremely popular, and when it came to rings, it seemed to be a case of “the bigger the better”. Your local jeweller will be able to recreate such a look with oversized gold, silver and even copper coloured hammered metal cuffs, and will stock a range of oversized cocktail rings, ready for you to take away in order to make your own catwalk appearance!
