Beautiful Danish Designs – Skagen Jewellery
Skagen may be better known for their watches, however the new Skagen Jewellery range is simply a thing of beauty with rings, necklaces, earrings and bracelets perfect to complete any outfit! The Skagen brand takes its inspiration from a fishing village in Scandinavia of the same name. The village is renowned for its exquisite and breathtaking scenery, which has often being captured by a number of artists and photographers. Stunning landscape and nature of the village is the prominent influence upon which the Skagen Jewellery collection is built and the duo wanted to create an accessories brand that boasted beautifully crafted and incredibly high-quality finishes at accessible prices. Skagen Jewellery has been designed specifically for women and is a fusion of Henrik and Charlotte’s creative Danish spirit entwined with demure and feminine designs, expert craftsmanship and technically perfect finishes.
What is particularly striking about the Skagen Jewellery collection is the way in which the pieces unite unusual and alluring material and colour combinations including leather, pearl and metal and every item is designed to be an individual expression of style and personality. Though each piece of Skagen Jewellery is a work of technical and creative art, the collection has been designed with versatility in mind and with a minimal approach, allowing each piece to compliment a variety of looks and make every lady feel chic, elegant and effortlessly glamorous. The use of pearl effect stones and polished stainless steel give the Skagen Jewellery range a uniquely feminine and modern appearance whilst the subtle diamante touches give the products a bit of sparkle.
Take a look at some beautiful examples below and make sure to check out the full range on the Skagen Jewellery page. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter for daily updates, news and views…

Fossil Jewellery always has been and always will be some of the finest and most sought after pieces that we sell. There are some seriously stunning pieces in the Fossil Jewellery range for this Spring, including minimalist necklaces and rings which would compliment any style whatever the weather! Their distinctive leather cuffs cater towards men who like to wear something a little different from normal, yet have something which will blend seamlessly into your regular look. For men, it is quite hard to find accessories which they like that also fit; but Fossil’s adjustable cuffs and expandable rings ensure that no man will go without this summer. But it’s not just the men that have something to shout about, Fossil’s women’s jewellery is an eclectic mix of savvy designs, unusual shapes and vivid colours that create a range of jewellery perfect for those fashionistas out there!

Bibi Bijoux Jewellery is manufactured using a selection of the highest quality materials, crystals and beads including Swarovski stones, heavy silver-plated components, semi precious stones and natural materials such as leather, wood, and seashell.

Michael Kors is one of the legends in the fashion industry, renowned for his sleek, sophisticated and statement pieces that have become hugely popular on the style scene. The collection of Michael Kors Jewellery is similar in style and theme to the watch collection, comprising of a selection of often ‘chunky’, statement and chic bracelets, rings, necklaces and earrings.
Gold and rose gold are common colour themes throughout the range and bulky chains, layered necklaces, buckle and dazzling crystal embellished rings and cuff bangles are all featured within the collection. Some pieces of Michael Kors Jewellery are notably edgy; fusing stainless steel with black leather for example, whereas other items are beautifully demure including single bangles with delicate heart or diamante charms. The collection is incredibly diverse yet highly consistent and regardless of how overstated or subtle the piece is, it will make a fantastic addition to your everyday look; dressing up a casual work outfit and complimenting your evening attire.
