Jewellery Spotlight : The Anklet
The Anklet….it’s time for this accessory to take the spotlight once again….
If you thought High waisted pants, Doc Marten boots, track pants were the only cult-favourite accessories experiencing a re-emergence from the ‘90s, you’ve now got one additional item to love and add to your accessory collection … the anklet.
Time for this gorgeous little accessory to have a second life… the anklet—once casually worn by the surf-obsessed, lover of the beach girl in either a strung shell type or braided leather.
It is one of those accessories which has once again been adopted with great fervour by the fashion set, the anklet is slowly creeping its way onto many street style regular’s ankles (particularly those of summer loving influences)
A once-forgotten accessory, the anklet in its second offering (AKA the fashion anklet) is no longer an insignificant piece worn south of the calf, just there and largely ignored. Instead, the new revised edition is to be worn to adorn the ankle, adding beauty and elevating any outfit and working it’s magic and enhancing our shoes from the simple thongs to the most exquisite evening heels.
We have even seen the anklet of today walk down the Spring/Summer 2020 runways, giving the trend credibility. To hanging off the back of chain-topped mesh heels, to anklets permanently attached to the shoes.
Today you will notice the Anklet in a number of styles beyond their dated counterparts. The fashion anklet—is predicted to become a mainstay piece within your summer 2020 wardrobes—from the daintiest of forms, from a fine chain, through to a slightly more substantial chain link or pearl-strung or even gemstone enhance styles. And for those surf loving girls who can’t quite part with their love of a shell-topped anklet, it is still very much a stylish option.
Pair the anklet with a strappy sandal, an upscale mule-style heel, a plain pump, or even a pair of thongs, the simplest styles instantly elevated in creativity to the most elegant of styles enhanced with glamour by adding this oh-so-now addition .
But just as we welcome the return of the anklet, we wouldn’t extend the same enthusiasm to other items of ‘90s foot-focused jewellery—toe rings can remain in their rightful place in the last decade.
Lustre on Lustre... Pearls for You
Over time every female needs to build a wonderful fine jewellery portfolio that’s uniquely her….
The perfect jewellery portfolio is all about a selection of beautiful pieces that have great attachment, past and present, that can be worn on repeat, always elevating ones unique styles while matching ones individual colour palette.
As a stylist and also a jeweller I believe it all starts here with a pearl… a touch of lustre… as they have the power to enhance everyone.
Pearls are the most feminine of gemstones one can wear, while yes, you will be showing a romantic side when wearing them but most importantly, if they are chosen correctly you will be stepping out with confidence that your complexion is looking as radiant as possible…all this, simply done with the addition of an accessory to your personal style…a pearl.
Starting with the classically beautiful pearl stud that can be worn wherever to an elegant pair of pearl drop earrings. Perhaps a pearl pendant for the office is more your style to a complete strand for the opera or maybe a bracelet and for those special occasions slide on a divine pearl ring.
With such a variety of fine pearls, from Fresh Water to Akoya, South Sea and Tahitian… they range in natural colours. Pearls vary from the whitest of white, the lightest of greys to blacks and soft champagnes to the warmest of golds.
When we select pearls for individuals we always match to ones colour palette.
Let us share a little bit of our stylist’s knowledge with you today:-
Pearls absorb the colours in their surroundings due to their reflectiveness, flattering nearly every wearer.
A pearl reflects light, beautifully naturally illuminates your skin.
The overtone effects of a pearl makes the pearl attractive and interesting to the beholder.
Warm, cream overtones bring softness to the wearer.
Peacock overtones can be worn with all colours in clothing, the only difference is light and dark. The pearls themselves will echo any tone.
Every pearl possesses its own unique overtone.
Hair colour also effects the harmony between the wearers face and pearl.
Warm creams to golds will suit complexions that tan.
So whichever type of pearl you choose, colour and tone… with all its shimmering iridescence, if matched perfectly, you will glow.
There is a perfect pearl just for YOU!
