Looks like we have another singer-turned-designer among us. Florence and the Machine singer Florence Welch has revealed a new jewellery line that will be sold exclusively online at her Flotique store and features geometric shapes and statement drop chains. Prices start at £20. We like!
This morning, we’re happy to bring you a sneak-peek of Lola & Grace’s spring 2013 jewellery collection, which revolves around three key trends: Graffiti, Automated Beauty and Colour Up. Needless to say the collection is colourful – a vibrant colour palette of fuchsia, indigo and yellow will make sure you get noticed. Key pieces include pop art inspired pendants with tongue in cheek captions, chunky bracelets in resin, and long draped necklaces and earrings that embraces the carnival spirit of Latin America.
Fashion jewellery brand lola&grace is offering style savvy shoppers a choice of three collections for autumn 2012. From ethnic global traveller inspired designs and prints to city-chic influences, you’ll find something to your taste in the Travel Snaps, Street Chic and Essentials collections.
This the Street Chic range is our favourite with its nod to Victorian London…
Halloween is almost upon us and we can’t wait. However, you don’t have to save your scary style until that party.
Instead we heart the idea of giving a subtle nod to the eerie evening a little bit beforehand with jewellery.
There’s a huge range of skull necklaces, rings and earrings out there at the moment, which can be worn to either complete that Halloween outfit or with a casual pair of jeans and smart top in the lead up to the night.
Go for a subtle skull necklace or bling it up with a diamante ring. Whatever you choose you’ll be scarily on-trend.
See the gallerybelow for our top five.
The bonkers designer Zandra Rhodes, who is currently working on a new accessories range with Adele Marie, says that she could never be without jewellery or accessories. We know you couldn’t, Zandra, we’ve seen you!
Zandra’s new collection was designed in accordance with her own personal love for trinkets and beads. She said: “Firstly, I never go out without jewellery, ever! When I saw what Adele Marie did I knew that this was jewellery that I could be wearing. As a designer you have to want to wear what you are putting out. I like to get away and take inspiration from the kind of things I want to be wearing. With collaborations it’s different – we merge our ideas and visions together.”
Mama Rhodes’ new collection, basically, is for women like her who aren’t too scared to make a few brave choices about their look.
She told Marie Claire: “It’s for women who just want to wear a unique piece of jewellery. They’re very strong pieces, which emulate me. It’s not shy jewellery; it’s for women who want to make a statement.”
Kate Hudson’s new jewellery line is said to reflect the actress’ light, carefree personality.
The blonde surfer-girl actress, who is famed for her hippyish bohemian style, has collaborated with her friend Laurie Lee Stark to create the new line “CK+KH”, which specialises in jewellery charms and accessories.
Laurie told Elle magazine: “We use a lot of aquamarines because Kate loves them. But to me they also evoke her personality. She’s so open and light.”
The design duo also have Kate’s famous mother, Goldie Hawn, to thank, as Kate has admitted her iconic mother inspired her own tastes. She confessed that her love for jewellery was sparked as a child when she saw Goldie wearing a particular choker necklace.
Kate said: “It was one of the first pieces I ever remember my mother wearing, and it was like, ‘Wow, I hope one day I get to wear jewellery like that’.”
Donna Karan Autumn/Winter 2011
If you have a soft spot for cheesy, tacky 80s and 90s fashion, which thanks to the likes of Ungaro and Henry Holland is now acceptable to admit to liking (any still from the Fresh Prince could easily be part of a lookbook now) then you’ll be all “OMG” over the upcoming jewellery trend, which is all about tackiness and over-the-top bling a la Salt-N-Pepa. S-s-s-s-s-Salt and Pepa’s here!
Last year you had to trek to the middle of a market in South London to buy jewellery like this but now the high street is cottoning on to it as well and replicating the retro styles of eighties jewellery – but if you enjoy the hunt, it’s worth digging through charity shops and vintage stores for the real thing.
This is not a trend for the shy and the meek – if you’re going to wear jewellery like this you have to wear it LOUD, and with the attitude to back it up. I’m going to go and practise my swagger right now while you guys check out the best ghetto-girl earrings you can get online in the gallery above.
Here at ShinyStyle we’re all suckers for quirky, unusual accessories to add interest to a trusty old outfit. I’m especially a fan of vintage-inspired designs, which are having a bit of a revival at the moment, so it was great to finally check out the up-and-coming jewellery brand RockNRose today and see what their store is all about. What I found was a riotous and quite magical explosion of colour and shape which took inspiration from antiques and Victoriana to create a new, exciting jewellery brand. Pixie Lott and Peaches Geldof are already fans.
Especially exciting is their special collection of intricate headbands. If you’ve ever fancied a high-drama, quirky look like Anna Dello Russo or similar, this is the place to try it out, as RockNRose offers a pretty and theatrical array of fascinators. Our personal favourite is their much sought-after hummingbird headpiece, which is handpainted leather and gives a nod to this Autumn/Winter’s craft trends – wear it with a cocktail dress for a cool and exciting party look.
As well as their own vintage-inspired designs, they sell the real thing. Check out the Vintage section of their online store for specially sourced, one-of-a-kind pieces.
Have a peek at the gallery for our favourite bits and bobs from the RockNRose store – and girls, don’t buy everything at once!
Usher: Well known for his bling
Sponsored post
Celebrities are well known for their unique approach to gold and how to wear it. We’re not just talking about jewellery either; gold items bought by celebrities include full mouths of gold teeth and golden toilet seats. This article will talk about the celebrity gold craze and some amazing items that have been created for them!
Having lots of disposable income brings out creativity in a lot of people and celebrities are definitely no exception! Here goes:
• Nelly: This loaded rapper is well known for his addiction to gold and diamonds and is rumoured to have spend $5M on a gold and diamond necklace. 50 Cent has been quoted as saying he worries about his fellow rapper’s addiction to bling. Coming from 50 Cent, that’s incredible!
• Jennifer Aniston: You wouldn’t think this actress had a penchant for gold bling. Well, it turns out she loves gold Rolex watches. Jennifer, Reese Witherspoon and Renee Zellweger have all been spotted sporting these golden lovelies that must weigh an absolute ton!
• Usher: what article on bling would be complete without mentioning Usher’s “U” medallion? This iconic gold and diamond piece has appeared in countless of his videos. We’re not sure how much it’s worth but we do know that he could be worth $77M so it won’t be cheap!
• Kanye West: ah yes, the king of extravagance Kanye West! He turned up to an awards show in June wearing a $300,000 solid gold Egyptian inspired Horus necklace. Way to make an entrance!
Bling is fascinating and always will be! Can you imagine what some of these items would fetch if sent to a cash for gold company?
There are lots of cash for gold companies out there who always have the fact that they pay the best price for gold as part of their mission statement. However, they can’t all pay the best. There has to be one gold buyer that shines above the rest with regards to both the generous cash payments given to customers for their gold and the customer service the customers enjoy throughout the process. This company is called Monsterpriceforgold.com.
Who are Monsterpriceforgold.com?
Monsterpriceforgold.com is based in the beautiful seaside town of Bournemouth in Dorset. They’re well known for their considerable knowledge of the gold buying world and for their excellent, friendly customer service.
They give their customers the very best prices when they sell gold and are able to do this because they do not advertise on TV. This means they can plough more money directly into the pockets of their customers so that they come back again and again.
Why not see how you can benefit by going to http://www.monsterpriceforgold.com and requesting a Gold Selling Pack and finding out how to sell gold for cash? You will be amazed!
Kate Hudson is collaborating with Chrome Hearts on a jewellery line.
The ‘A Little Bit Of Heaven’ actress is the first actress to partner with the company on a range, which will be called CH + KH and sees Kate team with Chrome Hearts founders and close friends, husband and wife tram Richard and Laurie Lynn Stark.
According to WWD, the collection – a one-off set for now – will be 18 and 22 carat gold bohemian pieces set with white diamonds, fresh water pearls and aquamarine, green tourmaline, peridot and citrine gemstones and will launch in late summer in selected Chrome Hearts stores.
Kate is currently expecting her first child with boyfriend, Muse rocker Matt Bellamy, and recently said although she does not know the sex of the baby, she thinks they will have a girl after doing a “pendulum test”.
Kate – who also has a seven-year-old son, Ryder, from her marriage to Chris Robinson – said: “So here’s the pendulum test. You take a piece of hair and you take a ring, and you string it through – this is very witchy of me!
“And then what you do is you hold it over your stomach. And then if it moves in a circle, it’s a girl and a boy goes back and forth.”

You may remember that a while back we looked at the boutique online jewellers Chelsea Doll, whose speciality was a charming blend of quirkiness, with a few of the current trends mixed in for good measure. Well, it’s been a while since we had a look at their site, and we have to say that this is a boutique who has only gone from strength to strength since we were last there. Once selling a limited selection of their sweet designs, now they have absolutely masses to choose from – and there’s something for everybody.
If it’s cutesy, ironic kitsch that you’re after, as seen in the past few seasons at Louis Vuitton and and Miu Miu, then Chelsea Doll is the place to look. Birds, insects, vintage homewares and flowers – all key themes in Chelsea Doll design which will add a cute twist to any outfit.
Our absolute favourite piece is the frankly adorable “Birdsong” necklace, which is a row of tiny sparkling birds on a silver chain. How very Miu Miu! Or if you want to go further down the opposite route to toughen up your outfit, there’s a great series of skull jewellery which will add a great twist to a party dress or girlie outfit – we absolutely love their scarlet crystal-studded skull earrings.

Last week we gushingly wrote up the marvel that is Asos Marketplace and put up a gallery of some of our favourite pieces from the online boutique “Never Fully Dressed”. But today we’re going to look at their amazing jewellery section, which sells beautiful, ornate statement pieces that are a snip coming in at under twenty pounds. If you want to give your wardrobe a new lease of life, but aren’t particularly tempted by what’s on the high street at the moment, why not just re-vamp old outfits with some stunning new eye-catching jewellery.
If you’re a fan of grungy dressers such as the Olsens and are a bit unimpressed by the jewellery available on the high street, then Asos Marketplace is the ultimate jewellery mecca for you. Heavy metals, designer-style animal pendants and heavily bejewelled cocktail rings are all there on the site, just crying out for you to team up with your favourite LBD and some spiky heels. Not sold on the idea yet? Check out the gallery below for our favourite pieces.
