www.womanthismonth.com 51 April 2016 showcase BLACK RHODIUM: With a newer jet-black rhodium being used by designers and some decidedly rock-chick looks coming out of the Paris Fashion Week shows for spring, this element has found new favour with designers. STUDS AND EARRING JACKETS: These have shaped up to be a consumer fave! Wearing studs solo offers some versatility, while the addition of jackets builds up another cool look. Easy to understand studs and jacket earrings are available across a wide range of price points. CHOKERS AND OTHER STATEMENT NECKLACES: These are a holdover from 2015, thanks to their appearance at the Oscars last February and an abundance of spring 2016 styles – think knits to lingerie to light-weight denim – that demand a statement piece around the neck. GOLD LAYERING PIECES: The price of gold is now looking attractive and consumers seem to be flocking back to the warm hues of this metal. There are some looks, such as delicate charm bracelets and dainty pendant necklaces, that just translate better in gold. And when prices are more reasonable, who wouldn’t prefer to make a layered statement in a richer metal? OVERSIZE EARRINGS: These were popular at the Oscars and will help complete many new spring 2016 ensembles, from complicated X-inspired necklines to simple white shirts. STACKING RINGS: These are fun to wear and appeal across age groups. There is a huge range of cute styles available plus they are fun to stack and build up a bigger statement when couture features cutouts and casual options. FEMININE SILHOUETTES AND MOTIFS: Many spring fashions speak to super feminine looks such as ruffles and lingerie and motifs such as flowers, so accessories should be equally soft. Bows, floral elements, dainty charms and sweetly styled shapes will be the flavour of the season. One of the island’s favourite jewellers shares tips for the latest spring and summer looks.
