madenecklace.jpgTribal accessories are set to be springs hottest new trend with bright coloured beads and shells being HUGE!!!

With this in mind, I have the perfect stockist – MADE!! This fabulous company designs pieces that are unique in every way whilst working towards empowering developing countries. They are proud to call themselves a brand with a conscience. All products they produce are designed by influential designers and are then created within disadvantaged communities across East Africa, so these are true tribal beauties. Every piece is made to a very high quality and are designed to attract the likes of you and me – accessories for style-savvy shoppers.

This Amadi Necklace is an example of the fabulous pieces being designed by MADE. They are so reasonably priced as well – just £14.00. This particular piece is made up of handmade paper beads that hang on brass rings.

So if the Tribal trend is for you, www.made.uk.com is definitely worth a visit. You can shop on-line or just simply find out more about the good work they are continuing to achieve throughout developing countries.

ebrosecuff.jpgThe flamboyant duo have once again come together to create yet another fab collection of handcrafted jewellery for popular department store Debenhams.

This new range of glitzy dress up decorations will re-create the feeling you once had when you were younger and rummaged through your mums jewellery box to find a shiny piece and having that overwhelming feeling that you have in fact struck gold!!

EB – as the range is known is a designer diffusion line that has recently hit the stores. The stand out costume jewellery will glam up any rock t-shirt or will add the finishing touch to your favourite party frock. Each piece has the added bonus of looking like it has come straight from a couture cabinet at Tiffany but without the hefty price tag.

The collection is so vast it’s hard to choose my favourite pieces, but I think for me this silver coloured diamante rose cuff wins hands down. This piece is the ultimate accessory needed to draw attention to yourself. It’s £65.00 but once on it literally looks a million dollars!!

This is gorgeous designer jewellery that deserves to be worn as though it’s a family heirloom!!

Lee Angel – Emma Pendant Necklace

emma-pendant-necklace.jpgI couldn’t resist taking a quick peek at this Lee Angel Emma pendant necklace – after all it appears we share the same name!!

This has a great vintage vibe and looks like a classic antique piece that will wear forever. Find this tree silhouette pendant necklace on a drop chain that clasps at the back of the neck. It features tiny quartz beads with a subtle diamante trim around the actual pendant.

I can’t see this beautiful accessory being a common feature in everyone’s jewellery box, but I love its originality and I’m always a sucker for antique style goodies! If this is your kind of thing then you’re in luck as this piece is also an item in the Net-a-porter sale with a purchase price of £84.00 reduced from £105.00.

Citrine BanglesWell girls after hectic xmas and new year celebrations there is only one thing left to look forward too – the January sales of course!! Get those purses out and spend whatever is left over after the xmas spending spree – not much in my case!!

I think jewellery makes a great sale purchase as most items remain in fashion and you’re unlikely to ever grow out of it – always a bonus, unlike with clothes after one too many mince pies over the festive period.

Net-a-porter has reduced a huge selection of goodies and although their pieces can be quite pricey, if you’re after a good quality designer item then they’re definitely worth a visit.

These Citrine by the Stones Peace bangles really caught my eye. I love the use of bright colours to help cheer up these dull dark winter days. They are gold plated and come in green, blue and white and each are inscribed with ‘Peace for Cambodia’ on the inside. They have a whopping 30% off with a sale price of £94.50. All you have to do is sit down, log on and browse these gorgeous jewellery reductions.
