Forget handbags and shoes, the one thing that needs a good wardrobe refresh from time to time is your jewelry.
With a longer lifespan than most pieces, it’s wise to do an audit of what you have and to check out what pieces might be missing so that you can build up a timeless collection that lasts the test of time.
So, what are the winter jewelry must haves for 2022?
Shine out in Silver
Silver looks especially beautiful in winter and can give any outfit a lift. This stunning Tree of Life pendant has a lovely winter feel and is a lovely piece that is sure to be remarked on. It’s versatile and will look good against a dark or a light top.
The Tree of Life is a symbol of the journey of life - that everyone goes through. In solid silver, the pendant is embellished with a green cubic zirconia at its centre. The curved branches of the tree let the light through, and this is a stunning example of the best of Irish design and craftsmanship.
Elegant Stud Earrings
A pair of stud or short earrings is always a classic choice and can be worn every day. Equally effective in silver or gold, it’s often nice to keep it simple as you’re likely to be wearing scarves, coats and higher necks. These small gold Claddagh stud earrings can go from day to night and be dressed up or dressed down. The Claddagh, representing the heart for love, the hands for friendship and the crown for loyalty is a great addition to any jewelry collection and these earrings are available in gold or silver and in various sizes and styles.
Buy a Birthstone
Do you know your own birthstone? It’s surprising that many people are not familiar with the particular gem that represents their month of birth. From garnets to peridots, from sapphires to rubies everybody has their own.
Birthstones can be incorporated beautifully into the heart symbol of a Claddagh - whether that’s a ring or necklace. To add even more personalisation, messages can be engraved into the rings, for example ‘love, loyalty, friendship’ - the message of the Claddagh.
