Bring on Beads

Going big, bold and colourful seems to be the new style mantra. Statement necklaces are in vogue and almost everyone is sporting one.

From the demure string of pearls to the funkier variety with coloured stones, glass or wooden beads and even touches of metal, nothing dresses up a plain outfit better.

- Opting for beads and stones is an inexpensive way to add style to anything you wear. People are fed up of wearing the same old diamonds and precious jewels. Instead they're sporting pearls and coloured beads.

- If you are wearing a printed outfit, you should go slow on your neckpiece. Instead jazz up a plain coloured outfit with a vibrant long layered necklace. Choose from beads in plastic, glass or vibrant stones.

- Flaunting just one bold neckpiece can make your look. If you have something vibrant round the neck, you should stick to small solitaires in the ear and a demure ring or watch on the hand. Try not to over accessorise.



- Long necklaces bring an element of fun and make an attractive accent for a casual attire. Choose contrasting jewellery instead of the same matching ones. Beads when paired with a vest and a skirt complete the bohemian look.
