Jewelry inspiration: bold and beautiful

1. Bright and bold florals were a major feature on the runways for SS12, and what better way to tap into the trend than with Roberto Cavalli’s gold-plated Swarovski crystal-embellished necklace. Offset the bright-orange enamel against a color-clash dress for the strongest style statement.

2. For her SS12 collection, French jewelry designer Aurélie Bidermann looked to the Wild West for inspiration and this ‘Cherokee’ necklace is the glamorous result. Beautifully contrasting 18-karat gold-plated brass with polished turquoise cabochons, it will lend a well-traveled twist to every look. Show this statement piece off to maximum effect by wearing it against a simple top.

3. The SS12 collections were filled with Art Deco-inspired designs, and what better way to work the aesthetic than with Etro’s geometric necklace. Crafted from tiers of polished brass and black acetate, it’s a stunning way to pay homage to modernist glamour.
