EK Jewellers Advise on How To Sparkle this Christmas Season

Dec. 8, 2012 - PRLog -- Christmas is the perfect time to shine, and jewellery is one of the best ways of jazzing up an every-day-of-the-year-outfit and making it something truly magical for the festive season.  

EK Jewellers of Hainault, Essex (http://www.ekjewellers.co.uk/) advises how best to sparkle this festive season:

Big and Bold is Best

One of the most important things to consider when visiting your local jewellery shop for this year’s yuletide jewellery is that there is no place for the shrinking violet: and who wants to be a wallflower at Christmas parties anyway?  Big and bold is certainly beautiful this year, and works really well with the plain sixties-style shift dresses that are in fashion this season.  

If you’re wearing a dress with decorative cuffs, balance it with a long necklace with a large pendant on the end, and, vice versa, if your dress has a decorative collar, why not ask your local jeweller about their range of bold, chunky metal cuffs?  Alternatively, you could accessorise purely with a fabulous pair of statement earrings.  Don’t overdo it; wear what you feel comfortable in and what doesn’t overpower your outfit.

Passion for Colour

The traditional little black dress is being accessorised with colour this season.  Gemstones are in, so ask your local independent jeweller about jewel-coloured rings and pendants in bright pinks, purples and blues.  Many pieces will use gold this season, rather than the silver which has been popular in recent years, giving a warm feel to Christmas 2012 jewellery.  Similarly, if wearing coloured jewellery to accessorise the aforementioned dress with decorative cuff or collar, there are a great range of both pearl and boldly coloured stones available to match the colours found on this season’s dresses.

Sparkle the Night Away

A diamond is a girl’s best friend, and therefore sparkle is good at any time of year, but never is this truer than at Christmas.  If you’re not brave enough to wear this season’s sequin encrusted dresses, why not add a touch of magic to your Christmas outfit with stunning drop diamond earrings or a bold choker style diamond necklace?  Your local jeweller will even be able to custom make a piece for you, should you not find exactly what you’re after in your local jewellery shop.

Sentimental Value

Costume jewellery will incorporate lots of little symbolic motifs this season and will often take on a vintage twist.  Check your local jewellery shop for pieces using keys, cameos and lockets, as well as brooches covered in sparkle, as these will also be on trend.

Remember that if you have a vintage piece of your own which perhaps needs smartening up or fixing, your local independent jeweller will be able to restore this piece to its former glory to enable it to sparkle once more this Christmas.
