Jewellery Trends at London Fashion Week


Every year the eyes of the fashion world turn to our fair capital for London Fashion Week. As well as stunning clothes collections, designers also turn their thoughts to the jewellery trends of the year ahead.

Not ones to be outdone in the style stakes, and knowing we are respected jewellers, Chigwell residents are aware they can turn to EK Jewellers to bring them every new look. With this in mind, we’ve turned our attention to what will be hot when it comes to jewellery in 2014, according to London Fashion Week.

Tribal Looks from EK Jewellers Barkingside Fashionistas will Adore!

Tribal jewellery will be big and bold this season, taking statement pieces to another level. Look out in particular for chunky gold pieces. Remember that if you can’t find what you’re looking for in the shops, we can help here at EK Jewellers. Chigwell people will find that we are happy to create custom made pieces based on tribal looks.

Brooches are Back

Brooches were big on this year’s catwalk. From hugely ornate, oversized vintage looking pieces worn on scarves, through to smaller brooches with hanging pendants that wouldn’t look out of place on a charm bracelet, pins and brooches will be all the rage this season.

Don’t forget that if you’ve got an heirloom brooch which has seen better days, you can bring it along to EK Jewellers. Barkingside people will love how the way we make it catwalk ready again. We’re happy to take an old piece and reset the stones, or fix the brooch clasp or indeed completely remodel the piece to look like something new, and potentially more fashionable.

Anchors Away

Nautical inspired jewellery was seen everywhere at this year’s London Fashion Week. Anchors were particularly popular and were seen on the aforementioned brooches, as well as long chains with sailing-inspired pendants attached, and as charms on charm bracelets.

Such charms, whether ready-made or custom-made, can be found at EK Jewellers. Chigwell residents have long come to us for bracelet charms and other pendants to adorn their jewellery. 

Beads fit for a Pearly Queen

London Fashion Week proved that pearls will continue to be as popular as ever this season. Models were seen sporting drop pearl earrings and strings of traditional pearls. Pearl stringing is one of our most popular services here at EK Jewellers. Barkingside pearl lovers know very well the quality standards we work to in this area. 

For this, and all other London Fashion Week trends, look no further than EK Jewellers. Chigwell and Barkingside residents know they can get whatever they wish for jewellery wise right here.

The Oscars 2014: Jewellery Trends on the Red Carpet



No one can resist a touch of Hollywood glamour, and at this year’s Oscars ceremony, the starlets really did sparkle and we really did enjoy observing all the jewellery being sported here at EK Jewellers. In Loughton we know that people love to be ahead of the trends, and the jewellery seen on the famous red carpet this year was enough to outshine the famous pavement stars adorning Hollywood Boulevard.

You too can grab a piece of this year’s red carpet charm and adorn yourself with jewels befitting any celebrity, with the help of EK Jewellers. Loughton people are more than happy to take a trip into Hainault to make the most of our very special service.

With the help of EK Jewellers, Loughton Trend Setters can keep it Simple

Many of this year’s starlets kept their red carpet looks simple and wore just earrings.  Some went to town and wore sparkly, drop earrings, whereas others really did keep it understated, sporting just a tiny of pair studs.

If you’re looking for a pair of sparklers, or would like to keep things chic and unfussy with small stud earrings, come and see your local jeweller. Loughton people are often amazed by the vast range of earrings we have available. We will happily advise whether you should add additional pieces to complete the look, or just keep it simple.

Seeking an Unusual Look?

The Oscars are a showcase for unusual looks and 2014 was no exception. Sandra Bullock’s earring cuffs were among the most unusual pieces seen on the red carpet, worn with no other jewellery to set off her midnight blue dress to perfection.

Thanks to EK Jewellers, Loughton people can enjoy having any of their favourite red carpet looks recreated. We could even craft something similar to Sandra’s beautiful earrings.

Of course, a big part of the Oscars’ style is how you wear your jewellery. Emma Watson, for example, was seen wearing a multitude of rings. Jennifer Lawrence wore a beautiful necklace which hung artfully down her back. We can custom make such pieces if you can’t find what you’re looking for.


Custom made jewellery is what we excel in at EK Jewellers. Loughton wide people come to us for our expert recommendations and tailored service. So why not join them and call in to our shop just a stone’s throw away in Hainault? We look forward to seeing you!
