"The AW22 collections were awash with golden jewellery, from chunky chains and geometric stacking rings at Versace to anatomical hardware at Schiaparelli." Explains Laura Weatherburn, Style Editor at Hello! Fashion Magazine, "It's back to basics, in a sense, whereby a strong piece that has a lot of personality can define an entire look. The rule is, there are no rules. Luxury jewellers Tiffany & Co and Van Cleef & Arpels adopt a more is more approach, while Chaumet and DeBeers prefer pared-back, sleek and simple pieces that pack a slighty more subtle, but no less impactful punch."
For the approaching party season you can enhance sleek black outfits with precious statement jewels, according to our editor. "If you're celebrating a particularly elegant night, a head turning necklace will be the hardest working part of your look," Laura reveals, "Equally, for those wanting to build up a modest collection, consider the benefit of layering up with multiple daintier pieces. When it comes to picking the perfect piece for yourself, you’re quite frankly spoilt for choice."
