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.

Earrings…Dangling…Hugging and Adorning

Let’s have a chat about earrings for a moment… the most festive jewellery item of all? A bold idea, perhaps, but one that, in our opinion, is completely true. Let’s look at the reasons why.

Earrings come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and their location on the body is prime real estate for everything one choices to wear from dangling diamonds to swinging sapphires, party-worthy tourmalines and heavenly huggies. 

Sure, we acknowledge as stylists that only a few inches down lies the neck, a notable location brimming with potential to display beautiful jewellery looks. But there is no getting away from the fact that the right pair of earrings work to frame the face, catch the light, complement the eyes and convey a sense of pleasure, swinging to and fro as their wearer dances to the music, moves their head as they adjust their hair or steals a kiss as the clock strikes midnight.

So, what about the beautiful cocktail rings with their amazing gemstones, you may ask? Mmm.. yes, a ring named after an event and definitely a party essential, one that has certainly earned its status as a must-have accessory to the little black dress. It’s a close call, but the fact is that a ring isn’t necessarily the first thing one notices on a person so this puts it second to a pair of earrings. Still, don’t rule the cocktail ring out of your party seasons ensemble. We love to adorn our fingers just like we love the beach at this time of year… with the sun gently warming our skin…to the water cooling us down… to the cocktails flowing and BBQ’s

As you can see, no event or party season ensemble is complete without a great pair of earrings. So whether you choose to wear a bracelet, a delicate or a statement necklace, slide on a favourite cocktail ring or perhaps wear it all….just don’t forget to wear your earrings!
