Layering, multi-strands, huge pearls, ribbons and chain are all a huge hit with jewellery designers right now.

Multi strand large pearl necklaces, as many bracelets as you can wear at once and chain threaded with ribbon and beads strands are all bang on trend for this season.

Bib style necklaces are still hot on the agenda with all the high street fashion stores carrying some fabulous statement pieces.

Tie it with a bow! Ribbon is huge and bows are even bigger. Add some charms to ribbon and wrap it around for wrist if you want to be ahead of the fashionistas. Don’t fret about the freying, singe the ends of the ribbon with a lighter (please take care while doing this) and you’ll melt the end of the ribbon for a tidy finish.

And finally, big drama cuffs, studs and bling are a favourite of the top jewellery designers.
