Vintage

Vintage never goes out of fashion and Summer is a great opportunity to revamp those ‘heirloom’ pieces by mixing and layering with contrasting styles and materials for an altogether edgier look. We are seeing a revival of sentiment-based pieces as we want to keep those, we hold most dear close to our hearts, particularly when we can’t be with them as much as we’d like.

Left to right: Filigree, Diamond Set Locket (VPS 2054), Hearts and Ribbons Locket (VPS 2110), Double Heart and Ribbons Locket (VPS 2109), 9k White gold, Oval Engraved Locket (VPC 2000) and 9k Yellow gold, Oval Engraved Locket (VPA 2045)

Hoops

Hoops come in many forms and remain a firm favourite amongst our customers. But if you are thinking that hoops are a little dull, then think again; they don’t have to be boring and they certainly don’t have to be plain. Why not try our hammered hoops if you fancy something with a little texture? A hammered finish is ideal for reflecting light in a soft and fragmented way, whilst at the same time providing a bit of extra interest. And for the evening you can’t beat a bit of sparkle which we have in the form of twinkling white CZS set into both silver and gold. Sizes are small enough to wear everyday but can also be used to dress up an outfit for a special night out. The true versatility of hoops is without doubt, one of their most enduring features!

Left to right: Silver/CZ Hinged Hoops (XSS 2218), 9k Yellow Gold/CZ Hoops (XHA 2078) and Silver/CZ Hoops (XSS 2217)

Left to right: Silver Star and Moon Hoops (XSS 2231), Silver Hammered Hoops (XSS 2230), Twisted Silver/Rose Gold Plated Hoops (XSS 2216) and Twisted Silver Hoops (XSS 2211)
