Steampunk Jewellery

Steampunk seems to be a big trend taking over these days. It is in movies, books, fashion, and now jewellery.

Steampunk is an interesting genre because it takes a Victorian era world and changes it a bit so you can imagine what would have happened had there been steam power as the driving force in culture. It also includes elements of science fiction. The jewellery is a darker more technologically driven style.

There is a big focus on clocks, and gears in steampunk jewellery. A lot of it is pulled apart watch parts and gears that are put back together. Other popular themes include old antique looking pieces. Things like pill cases and very old keys are just some of the things that might be used. The color of this type of jewellery will not be bright. You will see dark

silver, copper, and brushed aluminum.

Steampunk jewellery is mostly handmade, and each piece is unique. There is some very expensive one of a kind steampunk pieces, and there are several different jewellery makers that specialize in creating them. The more affordable variety are the kind that you can make yourself, but it can be a wonderful way to re-purpose old watch parts. The watches they make today are not as nice as vintage, which is why steampunk jewellery can often be the most sought after.

Spring 2013 Jewellery Trends

If you look outside your window right now you’ll probably see a blanket of snow covering your surroundings, making it hard to believe that spring is on the horizon. Nevertheless, come rain or shine, every fashionista needs to prepare for next season’s trends. So, what jewellery looks should you be rocking for spring 2013?

Neon and Crystal

The combination of neon and crystal is something which creates a dramatic and startling effect. This provides the perfect way to add some zest and energy to any outfit you are wearing. This is statement jewellery at its finest; it is loud and attention grabbing. No matter what you are wearing your jewellery will certainly take centre stage and attract a wealth of compliments.

Snakes

During 2012 we saw owl jewellery run riot, and now it is the turn of the snake. The great thing about this trend is that it possesses so much potential to play around with different shapes. Bracelets and rings whereby the snake can wrap around one’s hand or finger look fantastic. This is a trend which is already a celebrity favourite as well with the following stars all having been spotted with snake jewellery on; Sarah Jessica Parker, Britney Spears and Ciara.

Floral Ear Wraps

This is a trend which is set to flourish in spring and take us right through the festival season. Last year we went wild for floral headbands and now ear wraps present an unusual alternative. This trend is quirky and unique yet at the same time feminine and pretty – the perfect balance. Kesha recently rocked this trend at the American Music Awards and were sure that many celebrities will be following suit for their next red carpet appearances.

Top 3 Jewellery Looks At The Golden Globes 2013

Last night the stars of film and television hit the red carpet for the 70th Golden Globe Awards. It was a great night for some of our favourite female celebrities, with Anne Hathaway, Adele and Jennifer Lawrence all winning awards. But who triumphed on the style front? Take a look at our top three jewellery looks from the evening…

3) LOUISE ROE – As a fashion journalist and television presenter you’d expect Louise Roe to know how to look good. And, she certainly didn’t disappoint last night. The stunning gold rose earrings she wears are completely contrasting with the gothic look of her lace dress and this works fantastically. The blend between the two styles creates a truly show stopping effect. The delicate gold earrings are laced with stunning small diamonds, and whilst her outfit as a whole is very loud, her earrings still manage to stand out.

Jessica Alba Golden Globes

2) JESSICA ALBA – The actress brought a hint of summer to the red carpet in her stunning coral dress. The look was completed with a statement clutch bag, a dazzling diamond necklace and a pair of matching diamond studs. The jewellery embodies everything glamorous and Ms. Alba certainly looked a million dollars. The necklace takes the look and gives it a whole new edge and takes it to an entirely different level. She is also emulating a trend for the year ahead; lots of bling.

1) MEGAN FOX – The Transformers actress picked a delicate and elegant light pink dress, allowing her earrings to grab all of the attention. The pink drop earrings are elaborate, intriguing and unusual. The centre stones match the colour of Megan’s dress whilst the pink diamonds around the outside look beautiful and bold. The earrings give the dress a more playful and quirky edge, which is a bold move to make considering many would have tried to play on the elegant and simplistic look. Nevertheless, it is a bold move which was certainly worth taking.

The New Year’s celebrations have been and past, and now it is time to get ready for the year ahead and settle into our usual routines. Yet, it is always best to start the year with added vigour and zest, and there is no better way to do this then by feeling stylish, sparkly and stunning. And, a new piece of jewellery can certainly do that for you.

Now is the time to update your jewellery box; the January sales are still ongoing and thus you are bound to be able to find a bargain. Go for something sparkly with a lot of bling as it will radiate and put you in a good mood for the rest of the day. A diamond ring or a bold statement necklace with a sparkly pendant can be a great way to get noticed and feel revitalised.

Moreover, glistening jewellery is a great addition to enhance any boring and bland office wear. Thus, you can go back to work feeling and looking radiant. Furthermore, diamonds are highly versatile and thus will be well suited for all seasons, so you won’t have to have a revamp once the beauty of spring begins to set upon the UK.

Skulls for All

The Skull Trend Lives On

Skulls were mainly looked at as a macho male accessory or something you might see on a biker. Then Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie made them chic and suddenly everyone wanted to get into the skull trend. Those celebrities have moved on but the skull trend continues in some interesting ways. Let’s look at some skull jewellery trends that are still popular and some that are just plain strange.

The Cutesy Skull Jewellery

Cute skulls are usually pink or have a bow and cannot be considered hard core at all. They are often seen in rings, necklaces, and bracelets worn by trendy girls with all types of outfits. Hello Kitty skulls are a popular type you see girls wearing.

The Skull, Skull Jewellery

The regular good ole skulls are still worn by those who follow the goth trend, or guys who enjoy macho looking jewellery.

The Animal Skull Jewellery

This is a trend I just learned about and a strange one indeed. These are recreations of animal skulls and bones that people like to wear as jewellery. They aren’t the real size of the actual skulls but they are still kind of creepy.

No matter what type of skull jewellery you choose to wear it doesn’t look like they will ever go out of style. Don your favorite piece of skull jewellery to any event.
