With
Christmas fast approaching, thoughts are turning to our holiday party outfits
and the gifts we need to buy for loved ones.
It’s always nice to be ahead of the trend, whether in the gift giving stakes
or for our own sakes, and a great place to start when it comes to contemporary
Christmas jewellery is at your local jewellery shop. Here’s a list of what’s hot as it gets cold
this Christmas:
For the Party Girl
It
won’t just be paper chains which are adorning Christmas looks in 2013: chain
jewellery will be big business this year.
The look is reminiscent of an 80s’ handbag shoulder strap, with a
leather strip running through the centre of the gold or silver chain.
For
Christmas, why not replace the leather look with a sliver of shimmering silver
mesh through the centre? This little
touch takes this look from daytime to evening wear, making it the perfect
finishing touch for any Christmas party outfit.
If you can’t find such a piece on the high street, why not ask your local
independent jeweller to custom make a chain to your exact
requirements?
For the Free Spirit
Christmas
is all about love, joy and peace, and where better, therefore, to turn to for Christmas
jewellery inspiration for our more whimsical friends than nature? Leaf and feather motifs will feature heavily
this Christmas, often in a delicate fashion, such as dainty filigree leaf worn
as a pendant, or in a bolder statement piece: how about investing in a silver
or gold grand feather cuff or collar piece to set off a plain Christmas
outfit?
Silver
feathers fashioned into a large choker or collar shaped necklace, encrusted
with precious stones, will be everywhere come Christmas – so why not get ahead
of the trend, and take a visit to your local jewellery shop for free-spirit,
feather-inspired jewellery?
For the Timeless
Watches
will always be a timeless Christmas present, and this remains true of the 2013
festive season. This year’s watches have become slightly more eccentric than in
previous years; watches that feature a string or two of attached charms are all
the rage, as are those which incorporate fabrics such as vintage leather or
denim straps, rose gold designs, and multi wrap around straps.
Men’s
watches are no exception to this: unusual straps will be seen on male watches
this Christmas too, including brightly coloured bands, and gold elements will
also feature heavily on men’s watches.
Your local
jeweller will carry a large range of timepieces, both traditional
and contemporary, so you won’t have to look far for this most timeless of
Christmas gifts.
For the Little Ones
If
you have a little Christmas angel to buy for, you should look no further than
Kit Heath’s children’s collection, available at your local jewellery shop. You’ll
find everything from bang on trend colourful friendship bracelets as part of
the Best Friends range, through to girly pink accessories in the Cute as a
Button range, and even gorgeous charms in the Pick N Mix range – which will
allow the recipient to add to their collection over various Christmases and
birthdays to come.
And
if you’re looking to buy for yourself, check out Kit’s adult ranges for
wonderful Christmas style – all available, of course, from your local
independent jeweller.
