When it comes to choosing jewellery, do you prefer costume jewellery from high street brands such as Topshop and Accessorize, or opt for more eclectic pieces from independent designers and jewellery stores? Costume jewellery was once considered cheap and trashy, but today it’s undergoing a revival, with bold, chunky pieces worn with colourful outfits or in addition to classic designer pieces.
Accessorize
This popular high street accessory store stocks a range of costume jewellery, as well as sterling silver and gold, plated pieces and the collection changes with the seasons, so you’ll always find something on-trend. This spring, pretty pastel and neon beaded bracelets are on display alongside delicate bird and animal studs and ethnic drop earrings in bright, jewel shades. We love their Heritage Stud set – a trio of delicate designs perfect for everyday wear.
Cartier at Hatton Garden
For those who prefer their jewellery to be of the very highest quality, this renowned French luxury brand is an ever-popular choice and is stocked in several of the Hatton Garden jewellery stores. From watches to diamond rings, lovers of fine jewellery will always find something tempting in Cartier’s range – the C de Cartier classic white gold and pearl pendant is perfect for special occasions yet subtle enough to be worn every day.
Whether you prefer high street or high-end jewellery or like to mix and match, some of this season’s trends such as pastel shades and pretty ethnic-inspired designs are simply stunning.
