This winter, the fashion colours are dusky shades from smoke through to plum. They are subtle, understated and unless you add your own personal sparkle to it, in very severe danger of being dull. One of the best ways to add your own personal touch, and brighten the look is with touches of silver jewelry.
My top 5 piece of silver jewelry for Winter 2009/10 are…
1) For a contemporary look, try a solid silver choker. Depending on your build and preference, you can choose something delicate or go for a big, chunky piece. Chokers look fabulous against bare skin, and look fabulous with everything from a little black dress to a business suit.
2) If you like solid pieces of silver, but don’t like things around your neck, then a thick silver bangle is the perfect choice for this winter. Silver bangles look great with ¾ length sleeves and will bring instant sparkle to a cashmere sweater
3) I love silver bracelets, but when you’re working they do catch on things and tend to drive you crazy. I have solved the problem be designing a range of stretchy silver bracelets. Solid silver beads strung on strong elastic and woven into individual designs make lovely, flexible bracelets that you can wear anywhere and add sparkle to any outfit.
4) Add holiday sparkle to you little black dress or evening gown with a stunning handmade silver necklace scattered with shimmering silver baubles. Keep the dresses simple and stylish and go big on the necklace for a timeless yet contemporary look.
5) Jewelry should be all about individuality. No one wants to be seen in the same outfit or the same piece of jewelry as someone else. Natural amber pendants are a fabulous way to do this. Because every piece of amber is unique, every pendant is slightly different. Natural amber comes in three unusual colour ranges; honey, milky and forest green; so there is sure to be something that works perfectly for you.
