“Jewellery has the power to be this one little thing that can make you unique”- Jennie Kwon

Spring-Summer 2016 jewellery trends : Embellishing with jewelleries is an age-old practice and that it continues to cater to the diverse taste of the people only goes on to reflect its popularity. The right kind of jewelleries can take a look few notches higher by adding shades of your personality to the attire. The jewellery can be bespoke, classic, romantic, grunge or quirky but ultimately it is about making an impactful personal statement. The advantage with jewelleries is that you can wear the same dress and keep on changing the jewelleries to create different looks or the same jewellery can be worn in different ways. Say if you have a statement choker it can be worn alternatively as a ‘maang-tika’ or as a fascinating piece of hair-band.

Spring/ summer 2016 is more than floral flares and slipping on comfy flip-flops. Let’s not let the Sun put you down and take a toll on the fashion weather. This Spring/Summer 2016 there is something for everyone. While several trends from the previous seasons continue to remain strong and steady, new trends in jewellery are equally making their presence felt in the fashion ecosystem.

Here are some of the trends:

Baubles and Arm cuffs– If you do not have them already then it is time to hit the store and stock your jewellery box with generous amount of baubles. Arm cuffs are real conversational pieces and with celebrities like Selena Gomez sporting arm cuffs there should be no second thoughts about it!

Earrings- Tassel earrings for the boho feeling or single-drop pearl earring for the lady who is a timeless diva. Wooden earrings showcased by Alberta Ferratti and baroque earrings seen on models walking for Dolce and Gabbana marks the celebration of the folklore! Back-front ear studs instantly draw attention to your ears and you score brownie points on coolmeter. Earcuffs that have been a must-have ear embellishment last season maintains its undisputed spot. What is interesting is that now you can adorn your ear with multiple cuffs at a go without the pain of piercing! Time to bring out your inner grunge, what’s say!

Body chains and thigh chains are favourites this season. Ideal to team up with your LBD or LWD and paint the town red.

Neckpiece- When it comes to neckpieces, hollowed-out chokers, pendants of names, lipstick case, music note, dreamcatcher and multiple layered neckpiece with tassel detailing and statement chokers that exudes a belligerent vibe is the call of the season.

Finger rings- This season swear by the more is less motto for finger rings. Wearing multiple rings that adorns the lower edge of your finger, knuckle and nails is as sizzling hot as the summer. Another trend is the partnership of silver and turquoise as finger rings. It is convenient since the combination works well both with ethnic and western outfits at the same time you can play up the rings on your fingers in any way you want.

Let us have a look at some of the popular jewellery and accessories brand and what they have to offer for this S/S 2016:

I am an Accessorize loyalist and this summer I am going gaga over their range of floral jewelleries- from 3-D hair combs to swirl clips to stretch bracelets to ear jackets, it’s raining flowers at Accessorize! Pipa-bella’s new collection is a celebration of unapologetic graceful femininity. Dainty handcuffs, charm bracelets with the season’s favourite micro-trend tassels promises to do justice to the peppy child-woman that resides in you. The cluster set comprising of dainty handcuffs and charm bracelets are fun, feminine and modish. They have come up with this unique range of scarf chokers that have been spotted on style & beauty blogger Ayushi Bangur of ‘styledrive’ who styled her golden choker scarf with a red off-shoulder dress and on fashion blogger Santoshi shetty of ‘Santushi_thestyleedge’ who styled her black choker scarf with a white tee shirt dress. The Bling stores brings you statement earrings to suit all occasions: Chunky tribal neckpiece that imbues a tribal-chic vibe and dainty hand cuffs that seal the deal of a formal and elegant look. According to Kerkefashion Victorian accessories are really big this season that is all about embracing the classic and incorporating unparalleled elegance. Hence, enters the key choker and key earrings that will remind you of the keys to the master bedroom! Tassel ear jacket is another trend that caught my eye while browsing through their Instagram account. Loveshona’ s Collection brings you a bouquet of jewelleries from hand harness to layered neckpiece and from dream-catcher neckchain to 3-D lip accessories. The image of the pouting lip showing bugs tooth has struck a chord with the PYTs. The craze for this can be witnessed in the form of lip bracelets, earrings, finger rings and neckpieces.
