Sterling Silver: 5 Jewellery Trends from the New Collection

Having enjoyed a style resurgence in recent years, sterling silver has fast become one of our fashion favourites, thanks to its cool, contemporary aesthetic and endless versatility. Whether you’re into the metal or want to try it for first time, we’ve collated five of the newest jewellery trends from our latest sterling silver collection, perfect for wearing season after season.

 

1. New Minimalism

 

For a style persona that reads less is more, jewels with a minimalist feel are the ultimate go-to. Borrowing from Scandi styles, these modern must-haves in sterling silver are detailed with interlocking circles for effortless luxe – find them on drop earrings and long-line necklaces, balancing out their length with a mix-and-match studs.

 

2. Modern Pearl

 

Having moonlighted on knitwear, denim and even trainers, pearls have officially reinstated their fashion status for 2019. Shaking off their classic connotations with pared-back styling, this season’s arrivals are made from real sterling silver, and come embellished with small, delicate pearl beads that feel both modern and timeless.

 

3. Crystals from Swarovski®

 

Ready to sparkle? Embellished with crystals from Swarovski®, these sterling silver styles are set to become your day-to-dark heroes. From dainty chain necklaces to stacking rings, each piece is encrusted with a light-catching crystal, made from quartz sand and minerals, and precision-cut for a multi-faceted finish.

 

4. Initially Yours

 

Alphabet necklaces have been all over our Instagram feeds over the last year, whether worn solo or layered with other letters to represent full names or showcase the initials of loved ones. As we enter the new season, these sentimental styles are cementing their staying power with precious pieces in real sterling silver, with each letter accompanied by the sparkle of a cubic zirconia stone. A wonderful gift for a friend or a treasure-worthy treat for yourself.

 

5. Symbolise This

 

This season, bohemian styling is looking more refined than ever, thanks to the combination of clean metals and meaningful symbols. Evil-eyes, crown chakras and filigree coins are some of the iconic charms to be found in the latest range, all made from sterling silver for a look that transcends the seasons.

Winter Sun: Introducing the SS19 Beach Collection

In need of some vitamin sea? It’s time to start planning a winter-sun getaway and our SS19 beach collection is filled with holiday-wardrobe inspiration for your next adventure. Discover the swimwear you’ll be making a splash in, along with beach clothing that’s made for a day’s exploring. The journey starts here.

 

Swim Deep

Take a dip in warm waters with our just-arrived swimwear. Show off your glow in bright white bikinis – our favourites come in triangle shapes – or embrace your paradise surroundings with tropical florals on plunging swimsuits.

 

Pattern Play

Spice up your sunshine look with prints and patterns, whether you’re into something subtle or making a bolder statement. Polka dots bring a pick-me-up to our must-have scallop bikini, while woven daisy stripes keep breezy cotton cover-ups as pretty as they are versatile.

 

Dress for Sunshine

All hail the sundress, your official holiday-wardrobe hero. This season, we’re loving the natural feel of pure-cotton fabric, with schiffli cut-outs and fringing adding those texture twists that draw the eye. Complement the off-shoulder cut with a boho beaded necklace and take on the trends with a wicker bag.

 

Wanderlust Details

Put the finishing touches to your free-spirited getup with a bohemian twist on accessorising. Collar necklaces piled high with earthy beads feel just right on the shore and will take skimpy swimwear to the next level. When you’re not barefoot in the sands, take your beach strolls in effortlessly chic sliders and add a dainty anklet for that faraway flourish.

 

Soaked in Sparkle

A bikini sewn with light-catching beads and sequins will set the tone for a more glamorous getaway, whether you’re relaxing by the pool or ending the day at the beach bar. Match your paradise prints to a petal-laden pair of hoop earrings to carry through the island-life theme.

4 Birthday Gifts for Capricorn

It’s time to take some time to reflect – Capricorn season (21st December-20th January) has arrived, calling on us to think about what we’ve learned over the past year. As we enter this period of deep contemplation, we’re inviting you to explore the most serious star signs on the zodiac wheel, as well as showing you the best birthday gifts that Capricorns are sure to treasure to years to come.

 

About the Capricorn Sign

 

Ruled by Saturn, the planet that brings structure and meaning into our world, Capricorns are realistic and grounded, thriving on order and a set way to do things. Ambitious, disciplined and driven, those born under the sign are self-confident and put their best efforts in achieving their goals – and have plenty of patience to see them through. Fiercely loyal to friends, family and loved ones, Capricorns are warm and trustworthy but can be cautious about who they let into their inner circle. As an earth sign, they tend to be very practical and dependable; however, this does mean that Capricorns are prone to stubbornness and often find it hard to compromise on certain values and principles.

 

1. The Constellation Necklace

 

The smallest constellation in the zodiac, Capricornus forms the image of a sea goat – a mythical creature with the tail of a fish. See it depicted on our premium plated necklaces from the Z for Accessorize jewellery collection, studded with cubic zirconia stones for subtle sparkle – guaranteed to satisfy Capricorn’s need for the finer things in life.

 

2. The Capricorn Bracelet

 

Crafted from sterling silver, this cord bracelet features the sea-goat symbol for Capricorn, represented by the hoof of a mountain goat and the tail of a fish. As a grounded earth sign, Capricorn is known for being hard-working and ambitious but its magical, mermaid-like tail serves to reminds us of the sign’s deeply creative and imaginative side.

 

3. The Birthstone Necklace

 

Celebrating a Capricorn birthday in January? Made from glossy gold-tone metal, this luxe necklace is embellished with a Swarovski® crystal in the same dark red hue of a garnet – the birthstone for January.

4. The Capricorn Keyring

 

Engraved with the mythical sea goat constellation, this gold-tone metal keyring is a gift that Capricorn will always carry with them. It’s set with tiny, twinkling gemstones, allowing them to add a little extra sparkle to the every day.

5 Treasure-Worthy Talisman Coin Necklaces

Introducing the Instagram jewellery trend that we can’t get enough of: talisman coin necklaces. Believed to hold magical properties which bring good luck to the possessor, as well as offering protection from evil or harm, these precious pendants carry meaning and sentiment, making them a perfect gift for a loved one or a wonderful treat for yourself. Made to be mixed, matched and layered, here are five treasure-worthy talisman coin necklaces that we’re coveting now, straight from the Z for Accessorize collection.

 

1. The Triangle Talisman

 

Made from three strong, unbreakable lines, the triangle is a symbol that’s usually associated with strength, as well as representing the four elements – air, earth, fire and water. Find it engraved on this gold-plated coin pendant, embellished with a glistening cubic zirconia gemstone, and finished with sunray edges.

2. The Lotus Talisman

 

A protective talisman worn by the ancient Egyptians, the lotus flower symbolises new beginnings, purity and enlightenment. Depicted with a delicate cut-out design, this pretty pendant is plated in gold, and comes with a cubic zirconia gem at its centre, creating subtle sparkle for both day and night.

 

3. The Lucky No. 8 Talisman

 

Eight is considered the luckiest of numbers in China, signifying success, happiness and wealth. Crafted from gold-plated metal, this coin pendant showcases the fortuitous figure with a twinkling halo of cubic zirconia gems, making it feel all the more special.

 

4. The Om Talisman

 

Representing universal peace, as well as the four stages of consciousness –  awake, dreaming, sleeping and trance – the Om symbol’s origins lie in ancient religions and spiritualist traditions. Carry it close with our gold-plated talisman necklace, featuring an engraved coin pendant strung on a delicate chain, and edged with cubic zirconia stones for a soft shimmer.

 

5. The Sun Talisman

 

The cosmic eye in the sky, the sun is said to represent positive energy, strength and rebirth, making it one of the most powerful symbols. Let its light guide you through the new year and far beyond with this twinkling talisman necklace, featuring a cut-out sunray design that’s plated in glimmering gold.

Staff Top Picks: 5 Cold-Weather Trends We Love

Feeling the chill in the air? Wrap up against the cold (and, if we’re lucky, snow) with five of our favourite cold-weather trends, as chosen by the Accessorizers at our London HQ. Faux fur, pure wool and luxe leather textures – things are about to get wonderfully cosy…

 

1. Plum Hues

 

‘This season, I’m really enjoying tonal dressing. From the faux fur snood and the wool beret to the cross-body bag that works for both day and night, these plum-hued pieces offer an elevated take on the trend –  plus they’re perfect for cold winter days.’

– Lizzie, Social Media Manager

 

2. Plaid Prints

 

‘Complete with a cosy faux fur trim and tasselled edges, this plaid poncho is so easy to throw on over a big jumper before a winter walk and still look really put together. I’d wear it with a cord baker-boy hat and a pair of sleek suede gloves.’

– Debra, Social Media Executive

 

3. Celestial Stars

 

‘This cold-weather trio is strewn with golden stars for a bit of sparkle– it feels so festive but can definitely be worn when Christmas is over, thanks to its classic navy-blue colourway. I love how each piece feels really cosy too!’

– Olivia, Product Copywriter

 

4. Colour Pop

 

‘This super-fluffy scarf in hot pink adds the perfect pop of colour to any outfit, brightening up those dull winter days. I’d make it stand out with a cosy pom-pom beanie and structured backpack, both in black. So versatile and easy to wear.’

– Beth, Content Executive

 

5. Leopard Print

 

‘One of my favourite trends of the past year, leopard print still has me completely obsessed. I love the cool, muted tones of the scarf and headband, both in faux fur for that extra hit of warmth. I also love these black leather Chelsea boots – they’re a true fashion classic.’

– Rachel, Content Manager
