These precious pieces look a whole lot more expensive than they actually are
We have to confess. We’re all huge magpies in the YCB offices. No sparkle goes unnoticed, whether its highlighter or all out frosting, we’re here for it. Working in this industry it’s incredibly important to stay ahead of the curve in every area, jewellery being a key one. Jewellery trends come and go – read: the single earring a la Celine and Stella Mccartney – but some pieces you’ll revisit time and time again. Lucky for us that Jon Richard landed on our radar just in time to pick up the perfect transitional pieces for AW17.
Founded in 1985, Jon Richard came about after Malcolm Stark realised there was a need for on-trend, fashionable jewellery that was also affordable, so teamed up with the now CEO, Sarah Frew, to launch a stylish new brand. Over 30 years later, Jon Richard now boasts concessions in over 140 Debenhams stores throughout the UK and trades in several countries across the Middle East, including Dubai, Kuwait, Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Bahrain.
With prices as low as £6, these pieces are definitely worth a look! There are silver open pearl drop swirl earrings which give us major Beyonce vibes. The costume style means these add flair to every day outfits but still look elegant enough to wear to dinner.
Another piece that we love is the Cubic Zirconia choker necklace, it adds just the right amount of sass to a weekend look and it also has a matching baguette bracelet that is to die for!
The best thing about Jon Richard jewellery is it has just the right amount of ‘costume’ aesthetic that it doesn’t feel boring even when it’s a classic piece. Each style can be reworked and reinvented with a different look that will have people stopping to ask where you got your bling. Take the leaf cross over ring – a stunning, eye-catching ring that has us all swooning in the office and we definitely wouldn’t say no if someone wanted to treat us to this.
For a look that screams Chanel we love the cream pearl beaded long necklace, paired with a super chunky cardigan, jeans and a tee for that understated Gabrielle feel.
Finish with the pearl and crystal flower stud earring for additional sparkle.
If, like us, you’ve pored over Red Carpet images and Met Gala coverage forever than a hair accessory is the item for you this season. The Maia leaf and crystal double wrap around comb has answered all of our up-do prayers. Ladies if you have a special occasion coming up this is the piece you’re going to need on hand, but if you’re feeling a bit more Blair Waldorf then why not treat yourself to a tiara fit for a Queen B. The silver bead cluster statement tiara is number 1 on our wish-list and we’d be pretty happy if we had Blair’s Elie Saab wedding dress too. Simply dreamy!
Jon Richard offers free delivery on orders over £40 and 10% off your first order with the code FIRST10, so there’s no excuses not to pick up a little something for yourself!
