What would fashion be without a bit of jewellery?
Shashi jewellery is handcrafted in New York using materials ranging from gemstones, cotton and silk fabrics, crystals, leather, sterling silver and 14k plating to create diverse pieces. Raw designs are undeniably chic and sophisticated. The bracelets remind me of friendship bracelets made at summer camp with string and a clipboard. Prices are reasonable so they’re great for presents or guilty pleasures.
I’ve highly favored dainty jewellery for a while as I think the pieces can be worn everyday. Lili Claspe is a collection of either reclaimed vintage or handmade accessories that are limited in quantity. Body chains are a super hot accessory with crop tops, bralettes and loose fitting vests. There are beautiful rings and hand chains on the site as well. Many of the pieces are festival-esque and can be worn year round. Lili Claspe is located in Orange County but ships internationally.
Daisy London started on London’s Portobello Road selling Mexican jewellery to loving hippies. The daisy is the icon of the 1960s and peace and happiness. Daisy has a collection of daisy pieces in rose gold and silver. I think they’d be really special gifts for mum or sister. There are two other collections: Good Karma and Chakra which interpret the Buddhist symbols for the quest of wellbeing.
Tatty Devine has been designing and making jewellery in England since 1999. Tatty Devine is a great brand to show your personality and quirkiness. Pieces encourage wearers to express themselves in a fun and distinctive way. The brand blurs the boundaries between art, fashion and culture. Tatty Devine also makes a handful of cheeky cufflinks for men.
I’m sure Orelia has been seen in Topshop, but I prefer looking at the pieces online. Orelia is a perfect mix between High Street and designer level. Most of the pieces are dainty and sweet by themselves but have the ability to be layered.
