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!

Zandra Rhodes and Adele Marie Get Together to Make Beautiful Jewellery

When the queen of British fashion gets together with the queen of British costume jewellery you know something special is about to happen! Zandra Rhodes has confirmed she’ll be collaborating with Adele Marie London to create the Zandra Rhodes for Adele Marie collection. Make Me Beautiful Magazine covered that there was a new clip on earring collection by Zandra Rhodes earlier today and here’s some of the official press release from Zandra Rhodes and Adele Marie at Pure London Fashion Show:

August 2011 will see the iconic British fashion designer Zandra Rhodes launch her range of vintage inspired jewellery in collaboration with Adele Marie, one of the leading costume jewellery brands in the UK.

The collection draws inspiration upon Zandra’s iconic internationally renowned creations and bears the hallmarks of this fashion celebrity who is famous for her creative statements, striking prints and passionate views.

Zandra’s vision for her new collection of jewels is to infuse her unique and eclectic style with current fashion trends to create a stunning modern day collection with sweeping statements from her earlier years. The collection incorporates the designer’s original textile work, featuring dramatic and unique prints, the range consists of retro necklaces, brooches and earrings.

The Zandra Rhodes Jewellery Collection transcends fashion and like her famous creations will become collector’s pieces of the future. Zandra Rhodes for Adele Marie is unmistakably a Rhodes creation that exudes timeless quality.

We also hear a rumour that some of the first items to ship from the collection will be hand signed! We can’t wait!

Natural Inspirations For Spring/Summer 11

Nature is a constant source of inspiration. The constant change of seasons, the joy of the sun shining on your face, the elation of bird song, these all thrill us and as the warmer weather approaches and we start to think about getting outdoors, we’ve started putting together selections of earrings inspired by nature.

The first of these mix a range of charms together with feathers on a wood hoop to make an interest gathering piece:

Tickle Me Pretty Earrings - Camel

The Tickle Me Pretty Earrings range is available in 3 colours for pierced earring wearers via Make Me Sexy inlcluding Camel (pictured), Sea Green and Pink. For those of you preferring non-pierced earrings, it’s available in 5 colours as a clip on from Make Me Beautiful. That’s the same three basic colours plus two special editions – Plum and Forest:

You’ll also find that you can get all 8 variations through Amazon. Although they vary in height, due to the natural feathers used, they run to up to 11cm tall making them a great bohemian touch.

May A Thousand Flowers Frame Your Smile!

Millefiori is a special type of glasswork that creates candy like glass beads with flowers on it. The name comes from Italian. Mille means thousand and fiore means flowers. In fact this type of Murano glass is quite complicated to make but the end result is so cheerful it’s worth all the effort!

Our new range of Candy Clip On Earrings brings this cute Italian style to your collection. In bold colours like blues and oranges, they’re sweet enough to want to suck on!

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:

Wears wonderfully with wildly  bright lipstick and heels!

Designer 18ct Gold Clip On Earrings

There’s nothing like real gold to make you feel great. Not only does gold go up in value – it’s rocketed from US$37 and ounce in 1970 to over US$1350 as I write this – it has many other desirable qualities. Gold earrings don’t rush and age like some fashion jewellery made from metal alloys can. It’s also hypo-allergenic so your ears will only feel pretty wearing it. It also has symbollic meanings in many cultures around the world. Some equate it with the sun, others with love, fortune and wisdom.

Whilst we’ve long offered many clip on earrings with gold plated clips, our new collection from designer Rodney Holman features many 18ct gold clip earring lines in classic stylings. It’s proved an instant success and here are some of our favourite highlights:

All these clip on earrings are made to last and are presented boxed. Most feature comfort features including rubber comfort bungs and indeed of clip on earring designers, Rodney Holman is consistently rated as one of the most comfortable to wear.
