Jewellery Style Update – Spring 2010

Jewellery is a simple but incredibly effective way of instantly bringing an outfit to life. A great bracelet, statement necklace or an edgy pair of earrings can make your look relevant to current trends and really inject a sense of personality and character into your style. As summer is also on the way, this provides a great opportunity to really experiment with the different jewellery options and add colour, depth and a sense of imagination to your look.

Here at Shade Station, we have a selection of beautiful, cool, timeless and edgy styles to look out for by key designer brands. One massive trend for spring/summer 2010 is colour and when the sun is shining, a splash of colour is the perfect way to lift our appearance and mood. One of our fabulous new brands to look out for is Venus Beads which have some gorgeous boho chic style beaded bracelets incorporating vibrant colours such as turquoise, pink, red, blue violet and black. If feminine is your thing, look no further that Venus Beads with their wonderfully intricate patterned beads and subtle charms. Wear two or three stacked for a high fashion look or an individual bracelet will add just the right pop of colour to inject vibrancy into your look.

Amore & Baci beads are a further key brand and have some extremely fun, elegant, flirty and unique pieces to catch your eye. What is great about this brand is that you can create your own unique bracelet or necklace with the addition of charms – add as many or as few as you wish according to how bold or subtle you like to be. Cool charms within the collection include handbags, shoes and angels. Large cocktail or statement rings are the perfect way to add instant glamour and instantly make you feel more polished and sophisticated. Amore & Baci have an incredible ring collection which will continue to look great season after season and incorporate stunning colours such as turquoise, pink, blue, red, green and cream as well as beautiful patterns and the addition of diamante stones.

Guess Jewellery has also introduced a stunning collection of jewellery including earrings, charm bracelets and necklaces and colourful leather cuff bracelets for an edgy but feminine look. Guess is renowned for sparkle and glitz and common aesthetic features throughout the jewellery range includes diamante embellished fun and flirty charms and logos. Perfect if you like your jewellery to represent a girly but sophisticated and chic style.

Combining boho style with tribal, Roberto Cavalli Jewellery captures these trends perfectly with tusk style charms features on leather thong necklaces, gold chain charm bracelets, key shaped pendants, and turquoise tones entwined with gold and silver tones. The jewellery tends to boast a chunky style aesthetic, but incorporates delicate features to balance and soften the look and make it statement but wonderfully feminine and demure.

We also have some new street inspired pieces from Black Dice Jewellery with a selection of cutting edge rings and dog tag style necklaces for men and ladies and Diesel Jewellery, Police Jewellery and D&G Jewellery have also perfectly combined edgy with striking. CC Skye (a favourite of boho Queen Nicole Ritchie) also have some beautifully feminine and statement jewellery as do Miss Sixty. DKNY Jewellery is also a firm favourite with its cutting edge and strong but ultra chic range of necklaces, rings, bracelets and earrings with charm features and pretty diamante embellishments for the added glam factor.

Make sure you keep your eye on our style blog which provides updates on new brands in stock and key styles to look out for, as seen on the celebs. The perfect item of jewellery can make you feel incredibly special and is a great way of injecting an element of colour, sparkle, edginess or elegance into your summer look.
