There’s something about
pastel shades which brings about a sense of joy, femininity and sweetness. Pretty pastel colours will always be in
fashion, and today’s looks are modern and fresh, without losing their attractive
girly feel. Here are some hot pastel
looks from your local independent jeweller to
get you ready for the new season:
Cute as a button
Buttons
are big business right now and pastels work particularly well with button
jewellery. Folksy jewellery is in this
season, and buttons can work well with folk-inspired looks too. Think button pendants in cute shades of pink,
apple green and yellow, strung on a fine white gold chain, or small buttons on
drop earrings. Your local jeweller
will be able to custom make jewellery to recreate this look, and you’ll even be
able to choose the pastel shade!
Feminine rose gold
Rose
gold jewellery is a pastel shade in itself, and makes for some beautiful
feminine pieces. Why not invest in a
pretty pink pendent and matching bracelet?
Charm bracelets work particularly well in rose gold, as they can be
adorned with small feminine charms, such as roses and butterflies in pearl
colours, and rings are also firm favourites of rose gold, particularly when
combined with a soft pink stone. Visit
your local jewellery shop for more advice on rose gold jewellery.
Rings of many colours
A
great way of making pastel shades work is to wear rings and bracelets of
different colours and tones together.
Long strings of beads in different hues worn together are another way of
wearing this look. Keep the tones of the
different colours to a similar level; for example, a soft yellow will work well
with a baby pink and a sky blue, as all of the colours are muted. This look is set off using gold jewellery as
a base - for example, gold rings with coloured stones, or a large gold pendant
with stones of different colours inset inside of it – and your local jewellery shop will have a variety of gold
jewellery offset with pastel colours in stock.
Candy colours
The
main appeal of pastel shades is the sense of fun that they evoke: try and think
about fun candy colours to pull off this look, reminiscent of old fashioned
sweet jars and rows of rainbow coloured French macaroons. Ask your local independent jeweller
about cute motifs which can include little ice cream cones on long chains,
birds and butterflies dangling from earrings, and even cute cupcake designs on
charm bracelets. Have fun with the look:
pastels will be hot property this season, so why not wear pretty jewellery to
bring some quirkiness to your look?
