Winter Styling

Here in the Southern Highlands, Winter can be a bit frosty and most of the time my focus is on just staying warm, that I don’t play around with styling my jewellery as much as I would in other seasons.

So it is time to change that! I am bringing you all along for the ride as we restyle for Winter!

Let’s get into it!

EARRINGS


Maya Fan Earrings.
Wear a feature earring with your favourite coat and your hair flowing!

Our new Moon Earrings and Pendant a perfect feature for a casual knit look.

PENDANTS

I wear so many more solid colours in winter so long necklaces are a great way to add more interest. My go to is the Geometric Pendant in Circle

Layering necklaces are a great way to add interest and fun while having high necks and coats.
Here I have mixed the Abundance Pendant, Small Textured Pendant and Moon Pendant

HAIR PIN

I am obsessed with this Small 2 Piece Hair Pin and use it so many more ways in Winter. It looks great with hair half up (above) as well as a brooch though knits (below).

RINGS

Some of our staple layering pieces and some new additions great to wear under gloves in Winter without getting caught up. From left: Fused Ring, Lace Ring, and stacked: Thin Hammered Ring Band, Abundance Ring, Twisted Ring, Hammered Ring.

BANGLES, BRACELETS & CUFFS

A simple stack of layering Bangles can give you a little feel of movement when wearing lots of layers. Here we have the Pentagon Bangle, Lace Bangle and Spiral Bangle along with the Hexagon Ring and ring stack with Twisted Ring, Fused Ring and Hammered Ring.

Such a gorgeous mix of everything here. I love this with a feature coat or rolled cuff jumper to really add some shine. Here we have from left: Daisy Bangle, Pentagon Bangle, Ziggy Cuff, Spiral Bangle, Focus Bracelet and Lace Bangle.

Thanks for coming along as I share with you new ways I am playing with styling some key jewellery pieces this Winter. I would love to hear how you love to style your jewellery through the winter season, so please let me know via email or Instagram (asilvercircledesign@gmail.com or @asilvercircle)

A Full Circle Moment with Bangles

Bangles have been one of those Jewellery pieces that I used to be a go and and would wear in abundance! Jingling and jangling all over the place. As I became a full time jeweller, I started to find they were a bit of a pain to wear when working and eventually just stopped wearing them. Therefore I was not as inspired to make them for a while.

With the launch of the Bangle Making Workshop, I knew it was time to get back into making and wearing Silver Bangles!

DESIGN

The journey of designing this collection started with the feature Bangles and was so fun experiment with so many ideas and get into the design process. An Astrology themed one was a must and loved featuring all star signs, stars and moons flowing around the band.

The Patterns were a little harder to crack as my designs on paper came out ver busy and intense in person, so I went with the Archie design as it had movement and flow without being intense!

Lastly the Daisy Bangle came out a love of nature and a love of the 70’s vibe. After having the Daisy Jones and the Six soundtrack in my head the whole time I was designing, it needed to be in the full Flower power theme!

The thinner bangles were an exploration of texture. So i pulled out the very heavy rolling mill and got to experimenting! From this the Lace Bangle was a quick decision and the the Spiral had a few false starts before it came into its own with both a rolled texture and then twisted to get the unique spiral formation.

The Pentagon Bangle was the last of all to evolve even though i sampled this exact design for the workshops, i was wanting to find a new way, but sometimes you just have to go with your first instincts and commit!

SIZING

Getting the right size bangle can be tricky to work out online, so I have put together a sizing guide! Check it out here: BANGLE SIZING

CUSTOM

Finding something exactly what you want can be difficult and so you have the option of joining one of our Bangle Making Workshops to create it! Choose from either a Thicker band like our Daisy, Astro or Archie Bangle and make it your own. Or choose the stacking bangles and create your own textures using different hammers.

Easy transitions: Day to night styling

Have you ever had trouble transitioning your jewellery from outfit to outfit, for day to night or how to add that little thing to make the outfit pop?

Well, we have created a few different looks for you to see how versatile the jewellery at A Silver Circle really is, and how easy it is to look stunning, vibrant and 100% you in any situation. We have explored three different looks, to cover all the little events you might find yourself in.

Look 1: From the office to casual drinks after work

As modern-day women, working 50+ hours a week in the office can be a hard thing for us ladies to style and make work each day. We want chic, minimalist with a bit of flare. So, when your colleges ask you out for a few drinks at Freds or another cute bar in Surry Hills- you will probably want to let your hair out and add that little pop of a cool casual vibe, to wash the day away.

You are a chic lady. Black dress pants and a minimalist elegant work top works well and makes you presentable for all your meetings. To make your look, we have put you in our Islamic Studs, to add a bit of shin to your ears, a plain stack of rings (Thin hammered, Twisted and Plain) to your fingers and added a Domed Patterned Pendant to your neck. We want you to look smart yet stylish for your hard days work.

Not having time to duck home before drinks, you add over the blouse a clean elegant jacket and a colourful scarf to achieve that cool casual effortless style you want to let your hair down after a long day. Most of your jewellery is the same we just swap out the studs for our Maya Teardrop Earrings to take your look to the next level. Happy socialising!

Look 2: From brunch with the girls to a nice dinner date

You know those days, when suddenly you have a whole bunch of everything happening at once. You forget about the ladies’ brunch with afternoon drinks you’re supposed to be having because you were totally preoccupied with that dinner date you have with someone special that evening.

When meeting your ladies, we have put you in a cute happy day dress, one you can easily pair with some sandals and a cute shoulder bag. The look is accentuated with some colour from your Islamic Stone Drop Earrings in Amethyst and Rhodonite ring stacked with Black Twist and Hammered layering ring, which is all tied together with your Navajo Diamond Pendant that delicately combines geometry and elegance.

Making a quick transition into your dinner look, we have put you in an elegant cocktail dress, with your hair up and a pair of heels. Your jewellery is what makes you sparkle. Our Geometric Earrings draw attention to your beauty, the Navajo Diamond Pendant compliments your dress and the Hexagon Ring adds a bit of pop to your fingers. We guarantee your date won’t be able to keep their eyes off you.

Look 3: From casual weekend chills to dancing at a clubbing with friends

Whether it is summer or winter, weekends are weekends, a time to relax and get comfortable, to go get coffee and have a lazy Saturday in your favourite ‘not work’ outfit. The day always fly’s by way to fast, suddenly its night and your phone rings- it’s your girlfriends wanting to release that work week stress at a club, to dance the night away before you head back for another week in the office.

For your day look, we have put you in something causal and comfy. That stunning new organic cotton tee-shirt with your old, yet totally still hipster mum jeans. You are decked out with a fun sunhat, your favourite comfy shoes and some cute jewellery. Our weekend fav’s are the Domed Ring, Thick Hammered Ring Band, Figure Earrings and Amethyst Stone Drop Necklace, to show the world you can make anything, even causal Saturday’s look good.

For your night look, you want to kind of show everyone you’re cool and sexy side- you don’t try to hard to look good. You bought that flattering skater dress from the op shop that you pair with your go-to black strappy heels and a flowing boho top to catch every move on the dance floor. Add some bold red lippy and our statement Blue Lotus Double Drop Earrings which are sure to catch attention. Thicken up your ring stack with the Thin Hammered Ring, Twisted Ring, a couple of Plain Rings and the Amazonite Ring for a pop of colour and you’re ready to go hit the town!

We hope that this provides you with some fun inspiration for your next outfit. We have had a lot of fun putting it together for you. Please be sure to share with us on our socials how you style some of our pieces for day to evening.

See you next time
