Embrace Black Tie Bliss

Black tie events are all about glamour, so go for formal pieces like full-length gowns, tuxedos, and bow ties. Whether it's a wedding, gala, or upscale celebration, the goal is to dress to impress with stylish clothing and stand-out accessories. 

For a chic touch, check out our Freshwater Pearl Collection for timeless pieces like classic pearl earrings and necklaces. If you’re searching for eye-catching pieces and some shimmer, browse our Diamonds & Pearls Collection. Consider styling bold cluster earrings with flowing hairstyles, or wear chandelier drop earrings that add drama to elegant updos. 

Our Cubic Zirconia Collection is where you'll find all the pieces you need to pull together a polished look. Add sparkle to your wrist stack with tennis bracelets, or style colourful earrings in rich jewel tones—think emerald greens and deep blues.

Want to take it up a notch? Pair a vibrant crystal necklace or bracelet with a bold-coloured dress for an elegant yet striking look. Top it off with earrings to complement your hairstyle, and add diamante bracelets for that touch of shine.

Embrace a Cocktail Chic Look

Cocktail dressing is all about understated elegance. Think above-the-knee, midi, and knee-length dresses or a fancy pantsuit. Pieces from our Black-on-Black Collection are great for an evening cocktail event featuring monotone pieces that strike the balance between stylish and understated. We recommend pairing bold earrings, like our Matte Black Layered Drop Earrings, with a daintier piece like a delicate silver chain necklace from our Silver Essentials Range.

Add elegance to your cocktail outfit with our Midnight Collection with diamante-encrusted pieces in rich, opulent colours. Pair a cocktail ring or bracelet with a sleek dress to draw attention to your hands and wrists.

Get Glam for Your Getaway

Are you heading off for the holidays? Whether you're lounging by the beach or escaping to a cozy winter retreat, curate the ultimate holiday wardrobe to effortlessly transition from laid-back days to glamorous nights.

For ultimate versatility, our stainless-steel waterproof pieces are essential for beach parties, snowy escapes, and everything in between. They’ll keep you looking fabulous through every splash, hike, or soirée. Molten-finish pieces and textured metals are a must-have addition to any holiday packing list. They go with everything from breezy sundresses to cozy winter knits, adding a chic, on-trend touch to any look.

Heading on a getaway, or just dreaming of one? Add a playful, tropical touch to your outfit with floral hair accessories like frangipani and hibiscus claw clips. Cute headbands or trendy hair scarves are also great for keeping your hair in place while looking stylish in hotter weather! When it comes to jewellery, go for bright, colourful pieces from our Multi-Coloured Jewellery & Accessories Collection, or check out our Coastal Edit Collection featuring shell motif necklaces, beaded bracelets, and ocean-inspired earrings. Whether you’re lounging by the pool, heading to a sunset dinner, or just spicing up your everyday look, they’re perfect for easy, breezy vacation vibes, no matter the destination! 

Heading somewhere cooler? Our Mixed Metals and Sterling Silver collections will elevate your winter style. Layer silver necklaces with bold gold drop earrings or mix gold and silver rings and bracelets for a sophisticated touch. From exploring snowy streets to enjoying cozy nights by the fireplace, mixing metal tones will keep you looking chic during your cold weather adventures.
