Flash what you got this season because maximalist jewellery is in

While diamonds will always have their day, this season we are in an era of maximalist jewellery, and everyone from Chanel to Fendi is bringing the arm candy.

Where our autumn/winter wardrobes are more uniform and very much considered, it’s time to welcome some fun and frivolity to your jewellery drawer.

Whether that’s embracing nostalgia with ’70s and ’80s-inspired pieces or indulging in chunky bangles and layered necklaces, stack ’em up and stack ’em high because the fashion set are piling the accessories skywards.

Sculptural earrings, heirloom pearls and mixed metal pieces are also having a moment. Larger-than-life accessories may also be enjoying time in the spotlight, but pendant necklaces and barely-there studs and droplets also remain a mainstay of the fashion circuit.

Magazine+ spoke to the creators and jewellery designers on Irish soil who are predicting the precious metals that are sure to charm you. And more importantly, how you can work these gems into your wardrobe, for an everyday elevated look.

Fiona Fitzsimons, founder and CEO of online jewellery haven, Betty and Biddy, is championing quiet luxury.

“At the moment, I’m absolutely loving the statement stud, it’s a power block stud earring that adds instant glamour to any look,” she says.

If you want in on the trend, Fiona suggests: “Try our twisted knot earrings for creating this style of statement.”

You may have assumed that pairing silver and gold was a true faux pas, but mixed metal finishes are here to stay.

Speaking about the resurgent interest in silver jewellery and mixing metals, Lyndsey Cavanagh, Founder of One Dame Lane said: ‘This collection caters to those who seek an elevated look by mixing metals and adding silver statements that won’t overwhelm.

“Every piece is rhodium plated to add extra luminosity and have you catching all the right light this season.’

Similarly, when designing the Seoidín A/W edit the team focused their attention on bold chains, sculptural shapes and craft inspired pieces.

“We love layering chunky gold and silver bangles to add interest and texture to an autumn look,” explains founder, Maureen Harrison.

And personalised necklaces and bracelets never go out of style, which is exactly why every IT girl is favouring some personalised bling.

If this has your name all over it, you can add a personalised touch to necklaces, bracelets and rings at Lynott jewellery with their personalised and engravable pieces now all the rage.
