The spring season is upon us and what better way to brighten up our style than with a fabulous piece of jewellery! Here at Shade Station, we have a selection of beautiful and striking jewellery pieces by a variety of key designer brands. Ranging from the ultra trendy and boho chic inspired 8.L.A jewellery, to the exquisite pieces by Danon, other key jewellery brands to look out for include Azuni jewellery, Bibi jewellery, DKNY jewellery, Diesel jewellery, Moon jewellery, Pilgrim jewellery and Guess jewellery to name only a few.

It’s amazing how a statement necklace, a demure pair of earrings or a fierce bracelet can completely adapt the look and tone of an outfit. With the wide array of brand and style choices on offer, you are sure to find that perfect piece of jewellery to really help define and lift your spring style.

8.L.A is a new addition to the Shade Station jewellery collection and features a superb range of layered necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings for ladies. This stunning collection comprises of easy to wear and eclectic pieces that fuse delicate designs with a distinctive but refined rock chic edge. Skulls and pearls are contrasted in some pieces and the use of exquisite colours, semi-precious stones and silk threads are also prominent design features. The collection aims to compliment all skin tones and can easily be worked into a variety of looks. The boho-chic trend is very strong on the fashion scene this season and the combination of luxe colours, textures and materials within the 8.L.A collection perfectly represent the boho trend whilst also remaining unique.

A further new brand that we’ve recently introduced is Azuni jewellery. A firm favourite on the French and London fashion scenes, the ultra alluring Azuni jewellery collection for ladies comprises of incredibly unique vintage inspired locket necklaces, stacked gypsy beaded bracelets, charm bangles and pretty yet gritty styled earrings. The jewellery is made using precious metals and semi precious stones that are expertly and carefully sourced from all around the world. What makes Azuni jewellery so unique is the way in which it is manufactured with various hand techniques such as beading, hand polishing and wire work. The colours and textures featured within the pieces will make them a perfect addition to your accessories collection, and also ideal for the spring season! The Love Azuni necklaces are definitely a hot style to look out for as are fun and flirty whilst also demure and elegant.

Our next new brand is Bibi jewellery. The collection features a variety of chic and statement ladies bracelets, rings, earrings and necklaces. Bibi jewellery has a highly distinctive theme and the various pieces are all inspired by small and personal items such as a lost charm or an antique necklace. The brand prides itself on allowing the pieces to feel like they have been crafted specifically for the wearer and the collection incorporates stacked bracelets, layered necklaces and feminine yet bold charms, chunky chains and creative colour and material amalgamations. Many of the pieces boast a chunky aesthetic, meaning that they will definitely add a dramatic, stylish and edgy finishing touch to your overall look!

Jewellery can be incredibly personal to the wearer and if you like to opt for pieces that are inspired by meaning and message then the Danon jewellery collection for ladies is a great choice. The range features bracelets, necklaces, rings, earrings, brooches and charms and the overall style is statement yet still demure and delicate. Precious stones and special symbols appear as charms on many of the pieces and each one has a specific meaning; pomegranates represent fertility and good deeds for example, whilst doves, as seen in the B3053 charm bracelet, represent peace and tranquility. The Danon brand is one that aims to convey personal meaning in each piece. The attention to fine detailing is simply stunning and the pieces also feature an amalgamation of exquisite colours, textures and layers. In perfect keeping with the trend scene, Danon jewellery can easily be worn layered up using multiple pieces, whilst also creating the desired statement effect when worn individually.

Bold and chunky jewellery is a key trend this season and who better to put its unique stamp on the look than DKNY! Featuring wide rings, petite yet chunky hoop earrings and striking bangles, many of the pieces also incorporate diamante embellishments for the renowned DKNY glam factor. The brand lettering logo is also emblazoned across many of the jewellery pieces for that statement finishing touch as seen on the NJ1585 cuff bracelet for example. Pretty charm bracelets and double layered bracelets are a key DKNY look and the brand has also introduced some incredibly elegant and classic pieces, opting to stick to gold and silver tones and therefore further infusing its timelessly stylish theme.

Guess has some wonderfully striking and vibrantly colourful additions to its spring jewellery collection. Hearts are a common theme and are placed as pendants on delicate and elegant necklaces, as well as charms on colourful and more casual bracelets. Featuring stunning seasonal hues including purple, yellow, pink, blue and green, the Guess jewellery collection is perfect for brightening up your look. We particularly love the new Guess necklaces with cute pendants such as diamante embellished fairies and bears – fun, flirty and youthful but still chic!

We are also incredibly excited to have introduced Moon jewellery to the Shade Station collection. The inspiration behind the name Moon evolved from the creator’s fascination with the moon’s relationship with the sky and the earth and the collection for ladies wonderfully transcends this picturesque image of the darkness being lit with a strong glimmer of sparkle. Featuring striking rings, earrings, bracelets, necklaces and pendants, each piece of Moon jewellery is expertly made from the highest quality sterling silver and meticulously sourced semi-precious stones. Featuring necklaces with demure silver chains and single stone pendants, striking rings with stone-set embellishments, such as the R119G Moon ring for example, and elegant bracelets that incorporate exquisitely coloured semi-precious sparkling gems, a piece of Moon jewellery will definitely make every lady feel dazzling, glamorous and special.

Pilgrim jewellery is also a new addition to our collection and is definitely fashion forward whilst being unique and dynamic. The Danish brand designs its jewellery for ladies and includes a striking selection of rings, necklaces, bracelets, charms, brooches and earrings. The designs are highly varied and the collection features multi-strand necklaces adorned with striking Swarovski charms, and silver plated rings boasting intricately detailed and expertly crafted fox head designs. Wildlife and nature are prominent inspirations within the designs and the pieces are exceptionally relevant to current trends, featuring skulls, flowers and leaf designs for example. The aim of the Pilgrim brand is to create products specifically for the individual. Materials including enamel, Austrian Swarovski crystal, acrylic stones and freshwater pearls are used to create the jewellery and this is a great collection to look over if you are seeking something that combines style and the trend factor with a completely fresh and original edge.

Other jewellery brands include the super sleek and timelessly stylish Calvin Klein jewellery collection, and the urban street inspired Black Dice jewellery with some highly statement and chunky silver stainless steel rings and dog tag style necklaces. We also have a selection of feminine, elegant, colourful and boho inspired pieces of jewellery by CC Skye, Venus Beads and Miss Sixty. For the men, we definitely recommend checking out the Fossil jewellery range, which includes a variety of edgy and stylish bracelets and necklaces, keeping the look masculine and rugged whilst also smart and sophisticated.

Diesel and Police also have a superb range of statement pieces for men with both of these brands experimenting with texture and shape and key pieces including dog tag pendant necklaces and striking weaved leather bracelets that fuse leather and metal.

D&G jewellery is a further collection to look out for, with many of the pieces expertly fusing gold and silver and achieving the perfect balance of statement with sleek and versatile.

As you can see, there is a fantastically diverse selection of jewellery brands and styles to choose from in our collection. Whilst there are definitely jewellery trends consistently emerging on the style scene, ultimately jewellery is something that can be re-worn and re-worked season after season and can really make a difference to the finish of your outfit in just one hit. Colour and texture is a great look for spring 2011 and a vibrant bracelet or a fierce cocktail ring worn with a casual outfit can really scream great style with minimum effort! All of our brands are renowned for their high quality products, using the best materials possible and many of the pieces are handmade to perfection so you can be assured that you are investing in a great quality piece of jewellery.
