Statement Jewellery

Have you ever muttered the words “I don’t have anything to wear” whilst steering at a wardrobe bursting at the doors?  Or have you tried to pack for a holiday and want to take with you an outfit for every occasion, but your suitcase or baggage allowance just wont allow it?   

There is an easy and practical solution to these questions - Statement Jewellery!

A carefully curated collection of statement jewellery from necklaces, chokers, cuffs to earrings and rings can transform even the most simple of outfits.  All you need is a few staples like a little black dress (or make mine a maxi), crisp white shirt or a black tank top paired with your favourite jeans to be the backdrop to your bold & stylish choice of jewellery design.


A capsule wardrobe of black, white or neutral tones with no pattern provide an excellent canvas for you to be able to make a statement with different shapes, colours, textures and styles depending how you feel at any given point in time or what the occasion is.

People often ask me what statement jewellery actually is.  It’s a fair enough question as the term is used remarkably often but with no set answer.  I like to think that Jewellery enables us to indulge in self expression and gives us all an outlet to make a statement.

The right piece can give pops of colour for celebrating a summers day or sophisticated metallic hues can transform any outfit for a special night out.  Either way you can choose which statement you want to make.

The best thing about statement jewellery is that it will transform any outfit.   A few well selected pieces take up far less room than a suitcase or a closet full of clothes.  The best thing of all is that it doesn’t matter if you are tall, or like me, on the short side or if you put on a few extra pounds on that holiday, your favourite piece of jewellery is very forgiving.

Start with a couple of carefully selected pieces and get a feel for what works for you.  Once you  get a feel for the statement you want to  make then you will be stocking up and ditching the oversized suitcase, while proudly parading that carry on tote bag on your next holiday.
