Make a Statement

London Fashion Week is coming to an end but do not fret. One place that is guaranteed to sartorially inspire you all year round is Vintage Modes. We spotted lots of current trends on the racks and display cabinets here at Grays which are making a comeback (again!). There was one trend that was prominent among the fashion crowd, statement jewellery, and in particular, sculptural earrings.

Here's a selection of our favourite statement pieces from Vintage Modes.

How to Wear...

Jewellery is a very personal thing and can also be a reflection of your style. There is nothing that brings a smile to our face like a pretty ring, a jangly necklace, or some sparkly earrings. When it comes to vintage costume jewellery some people struggle to coordinate pieces with their outfits. Colourful bakelite beads or 80s chandelier earrings could be just the thing to make an ordinary outfit outstanding.

To illustrate how to best use vintage jewellery to your fashion advantage, we had a look around Arabella Bianco's stand and found similar examples of pieces worn by celebrities.
