The Latest Fiorelli Costume Jewellery Collection

In the short time Fiorelli have produced their costume jewellery collection it’s moved on to be a massive hit. It’s got enough sex appeal to quicken the pulse yet keeps it classic enough that each piece will have a lasting appeal. Combine that with quality manufacturing and materials that will last, beautiful packaging and an extremely attractive price point and it’s small wonder why it’s become the girl’s new best friend.

Fiorelli’s latest costume collection brings the sixth round of classiness. A new wood effect stone has been added to compliment the existing turquoise and cubic zirconia pieces and there’s also a number of modern-retro pieces that evoke the luxurious stylings of the 1930s. Further, whilst the traditional Fiorelli Costume Collection silver look has been preserved, the gold pieces are also joined by a brass coloured outfit.

Here are a few highlights from the earrings; matching pieces are available for most and like the previous Fiorelli collections, there’s plenty of mix-n-match co-ordinates possible.

These next earrings are what we see as the most decadent, luxurious and rich of the collection. We’ve shown them around and everyone is amazed at the price as the workmanship is that good:

Lastly, in a nod to trend, friendship bracelets, spike jewellery a la Ben Amun and angular triangles make an appearance, perfect for younger women.

The Fiorelli Costume Collection 6 is now launching on good outlets including Make Me Sexy, Make Me Beautiful and Amazon.

A New Collection From Rodney Holman

Rodney Holman, the quality fashion jeweller, has returned with a further new collection of accessibly priced delights. Combining elegant shapes, quality stones, rhodium and 18 carat gold plating with an eye for the timeless the range includes clip on earrings together with matching necklaces and bracelets.

Due to launch in August at Make Me Beautiful the range promises to be a vintage collection for Rodney Holman. Speaking to us, David Stothart of Rodney Holman said:

“We know that times are tight for a lot of people right now which is why we’ve seen a surge in demand for our timeless pieces that are built to last. A lot of customers are realising that whilst some High Street stores are selling items at threadbare prices, the novelty of constantly needing to replace jewellery that quickly breaks or discolours soon wears off. The Rodney Holman collection, like our previous ranges, costs only a small sum more yet lasts years which in real terms makes it far more affordable.”

Classic and timeless equally doesn’t mean old and tired. Polyvore’s users have created a huge array of fashionable styles using clip on earrings from Rodney Holman’s current collections on Make Me Beautiful. The following three style sets all use the same clip on earring but show just how varied the outfit can be that goes with them!

I'm into you

Set Your Inner Bird Free!

It’s the bird’s dilemma. On one hand you’re a caged animal. You can  flap your wings but you can’t fly away. On the other hand as long as you go on chirping your cheerful song, you’re cared for and fed. Is free really all that great?

Capturing the mood of being forever in two minds, our Vintage Style Bird Cage Necklaces have been our most loved item on Fashiolista on the day they were launched, beating the Circle and Shimmers Fish Hook Earrings from Make Me Sexy:

Silver Circle and Crystal

Love it!

Available in both aged silver or gold tone from Make Me Beautiful and Amazon, the design features a Victorian style frame around the caged bird, giving it a quirky vintage twist:

Never ones to shirk a shoot, OK Magazine lined up a fantastic Titanic themed photoshoot and quizzed the couple to see if they were more Katie and Peter than Kate and Leonardo!

We were delighted they requested to wear our Titanic Heart of the Ocean Pendant & Necklace Set, a signature piece from the movie and real story. Hand made in the UK by small design studio using high quality Swarovski crystals, the necklace – in either it’s original blue colour or in white or pink – the necklaces are stunningly beautiful and worth giving to  the one you really love:

Celebrity Layered Necklace Gallery

We loved this iVillage US photo gallery so much we wanted to share it with you. It’s a great source of ideas! In in Hollywood celebrities were photographed layering up necklaces to match dresses and sometimes earrings. It made us think about how we put together our own styles when we are stepping out at fashion shows. And as the ever lovely Gok Wan says:

If you don’t have ay ideas, just layer on as many necklaces as you can. It always looks stylish!

We love you Gok and we here’s the photo reel for more ideas. Click here!

It’s called a necklace because it’s elegant

Necklaces have evolved into many different forms of adornment, yet the most classic styles echo the heights of fine art. After all that’s how we got the word necklace, right? From neck – meaning where this jewellery is worn – and lace – meaning an intricate, fine, elegant design. We took a twist on the tradition of fine neck wear with this new release – a matching diamante and pearl earring and necklace set:

Diamante Pearl & Necklace Teardrop Set

Bringing together fine design and styling, this limited edition release has been made available through our necklace shop for £24.98 as a boxed set.
