Well, we’re in the month
of love at the moment, and with Valentine’s Day just around the corner, it’s
only right that we share one of the hottest jewellery trends around at the
moment: the romantic look. Whimsical and
boho are in right now, and there are some great pieces of jewellery to work
this look with at your local jewellery shop. Your local
independent jeweller will stock some lovely, individual pieces which
will really work well with this trend – after all, part of the romantic look is
about originality, and there’s no better way of achieving that than with a
piece from a local jeweller.
Understated Studs
Earrings are shrinking
this season as part of the romantic look: studs are back, and they’re back with
a bang. You’ll be able to find designs
at your local jewellery shop which are quirky, fanciful and full of elements of
fairytale romance. Think tiny, intricate
gold feathers, heart-shaped diamonds, and twinkly silver flowers. Softness and sweetness plays a big part in
the romantic look, so anything of this kind, inspired by romance, will work
well as stud earrings – your local independent jeweller
will have plenty of beautiful studs in stock for you to make an understated
statement with.
Classic Cameos
Cameos are making a
comeback in 2013, and whether you wear a cameo on a pendant, brooch, or tiny
versions as the aforementioned stud earring, if you want to embrace the romantic
trend this season, a cameo will be an essential part of your jewellery
collection. You may well have a cameo
from years gone by, maybe your own or one you’ve inherited; if it’s seen better
days but you’d love to wear it again, why not ask your local jeweller if they’re able
to restore it? Vintage is a huge part of
the romantic look, so being able to wear an antique cameo will add kudos to
your romantic outfit.
Pretty in Pearls
Pearls have seen a huge surge
in popularity in recent years, and they continue to make a big statement again
in 2013 as part of the romantic trend.
If you’re looking for a new string of pearls, your local independent jeweller will be able to offer
plenty of advice on what sort of pearls will suit your personality. Similarly, if you have an old set of pearls
which need restringing, ask your local jeweller
to restore them to their former glory for you.
Blooms, Bows and Birds
An extremely pretty way of
styling yourself romantically is by wearing very feminine accessories which
include flowers, bird motifs or bows. There
are many pretty pieces available such as rosebud stud or drop earrings in sweet
shades of dusky pinks and reds, and gold bows have been popping up
everywhere. If you’ve not quite seen
what you’re after, why not ask your local independent jeweller to
commission a custom made piece for you?
This way you can add your own touch to the romantic trend – giving it
that originality so favoured by this look.
