Beginnings: First store in Manhattan

The story of the successful brand Tiffany and Co. begins on September 18, 1837, when the American Charles Lewis Tiffany, the son of a cotton manufacturer, opens a shop for stationery and fancy goods in Manhattan with his school friend John Burnett. Hard to imagine, but the Tiffany store makes just $4.98 in sales on opening day. However, the friends laid the groundwork that day for an exemplary rise to the top of jewelry brands. Tiffany and Co. is the first brand to bring luxury goods to Americans. Since then, the brand has published the rarest jewels in the so-called Blue Book to this day. Since 1974, talented designer Elsa Peretti has been revolutionizing jewelry design, giving it a modern sensibility. She develops a line of jewelry that is suitable for everyday wear and can be worn on any day, in any situation.

“Style is about being simple.”, Elsa Peretti (Source: Tiffany and Co.).

Tiffany Store on Fifth Avenue is most popular shopping destination

Over the years, the Tiffany store on Fifth Avenue has become the most popular shopping destination when it comes to jewelry like necklaces, earrings and especially bark. The engagement ring of the brand has not lost its magic until today and is still a symbol of the most beautiful love stories in the world. Today, the company can proudly look back on a network of 315 own stores.

The Tiffany Diamond: Yellow Gemstone

Diamonds are a girls best friend. Marilyn Monroe was already of this opinion when she sang a song about the popular jewellery of the brand. Tiffany & Co. has followed this credo since its founding. In 1878 Charles Lewis Tiffany bought a 287.42 carat yellow diamond, one of the most beautiful gemstones in the world. The so-called “Tiffany Diamont” is permanently displayed in the Fifth Avenue Flagship and impresses over 300 visitors daily.

Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s…

Breakfast at Tiffany’s is one of the most elegant films ever released. Audrey Hepburn, as Holly Golightly, wears Tiffany jewelry in combination with a Givenchy gown and visits a Tiffany store several times in her role. The movie, which is based on the novella by Truman Capote, has made the label and especially the store on 5th Avenue in New York a veritable landmark. The 1961 film adaptation made the brand immortal. It is also the first production ever to film at the Tiffany flagship in new York City. The jewelry made another film appearance in the movie “Sex and the City”. Of course, how could it be otherwise, in the context of an engagement or wedding.

Assortment: Rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings and Co.

There is no woman who has not dreamed of receiving a blue box with a diamond ring or necklace from Tiffany’s as a gift. The famous blue box has long had cult status. And ever since Breakfast at Tiffany’s, every woman has wanted to accessorize with the jewelry. The manufacturer’s assortment has expanded over the years and adapted to the needs of female customers. In addition to a classic range of jewelry, which includes rings, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, pendants, the customer can now also purchase perfume and home accessories.

Rings: silver, gold and yellow

Tiffany’s has gone down in history with engagement rings. The most affordable ring starts at $1500, while a more extravagant example can quickly cost over $100,000. The cost of a Tiffany ring depends on its size, quality of diamond and complexity.

The Engagement Ring: Tiffany Setting

Tiffany & Co. is where the wife wants to see her husband buy a ring. In 1886, founder Charels Tiffany introduces the “Tiffany Setting”, an engagement ring. Absolutely flawless, it features a diamond in the center that reflects light. The special feature of the ring: the newly invented solitaire setting, through which the diamond receives extra light and is thus highlighted. The classic version of the Tiffany engagement ring has a setting with 6 caps. If the setting has only 4 caps, it is called a classic-modern version. For over 130 years, the Tiffany setting has been the symbol of the perfect love story. The success of the ring is visible in its sales. In Japan, sales of the engagement ring account for 41% of Tiffany’s total sales. In Europe, it is 25%.

Tiffany & Co.: Believe in Love Campaign

Tiffany & Co launched the Believe in Love campaign, in which different couples had the chance to talk about their relationship. The goal: to promote love! The company celebrates the eternal power of love and that’s what they brought into focus with this campaign. Tiffany doesn’t just want to provide the engagement ring, Tiffany wants to be part of the complete love story.

Necklaces & Bracelets – Tiffany’s has Something for Everyone

The jewelry label is arguably one of the most luxurious and expensive, with the most exquisite locations and prices. Nevertheless, there is also a selection of necklaces, earrings and bracelets in the assortment that are affordable for a normal wage earner. The reason for this is that Tiffany’s wants to be a label that people love and honor. However, not every young girl should have to dream of getting an expensive wedding ring from the brand one day, but it is best to start developing a love for jewelry before that. The label has managed to be one of the few luxury brands to keep its exquisite reputation, although they have also included a few cheaper items in their range.

The Tiffany Blue Box

The Famous Blue Box. It changed the world. Today, the box is considered an international symbol of style, sophistication and incomparable design. What makes the box so special..: Its color. Founder Charles Lewis Tiffany chose the unforgettable shade of blue and patented it. The Tiffany Blue has been trademarked and unique ever since. In the 19th century, the turquoise gemstone was very popular in jewelry making, that’s why they decided to take the forget-me-not blue as the label’s trademark. Since the introduction of the Tiffany Setting engagement ring in 1886, the box has been as popular as the ring itself. Customers would rush into stores just to grab a box, but Charles Tiffany refused to sell the boxes. A few years later, the box officially became the label’s trademark and was standardized. This ensures that the color is always the same all over the world, regardless of the medium. By the way, the color is called “1837 Blue”. 1837 stands for the founding year of Tiffany and Co.

The turquoise box is sustainable and ecologically produced

The blue box stands for luxury and exclusivity worldwide. But another special feature of the box is its production. The iconic box is manufactured completely ecologically. This means the boxes as well as paper bags are made from sustainable sources and recycled materials. The company thus promotes the use of paper and wood fiber materials from sustainable sources.

“At Tiffany, we believe sustainability makes our business stronger and is the foundation of everything we do.” (Source: Tiffany.com)

If you want the full Tiffany experience, head to the Tiffany Blue Box Cafe at Harrods in London. The luxurious cafe is already decorated inside (how could it be otherwise) in blue and white and equipped with the most beautiful Tiffany home accessories.

The sustainability promise

In addition to sustainable packaging, the jewellery label Tiffany & Co. also focuses on sustainability and environmentally friendly measures in other areas. At the top of the company’s philosophy is the protection of human rights. Tiffany’s diamonds are sourced with care and consideration, and the environmental impact of mining is minimized. The company’s website states:

“We also maintain our high standards through leading approaches to diamond traceability.”

The majority of rough diamonds are sourced from five countries: Botswana, Canada, Namibia, Russia and South Africa. In 2019, Tiffanys was able to trace 00% of rough diamonds back to known mines and the suppliers. Responsible sourcing practices help promote the protection of human rights, fair labor conditions, environmental protection and ethical business practices.

Crazy About Tiffany’s: Official Documentary

The documentary “Crazy about Tiffany’s” shows the beginnings and difficulties of the brand and how it became what it is today. Famous personalities talk about the fantastic history of the jewelry brand.

Tiffany produces trophies for NBA, NFL and Co.

The company has been producing the NFL Vince Lombardi Super Bowl trophy since 1967. The seven-kilo trophy is the winner’s trophy of the annual final of the North American professional football league. The Vince Lombardi Trophy is made each year as it is not a traveling trophy. For the players, the trophy has a great sentimental value. However, its material value is not to be scoffed at either. The object is made of sterling silver and would cost around $25,000.In 1978, Tiffany creates the NBA Championship Trophy in addition to the Football Trophy. The basketball trophy is two feet high and weighs about 15 pounds. Since 2000, Tiffany & Co. has also produced the trophy for the World Series and the one for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. Many sports and competitions take notice of the company and have their trophies created by jewelry manufacturers. Among them are golf, tennis, basketball, football and baseball.

The 5 most successful collections

• Serpenti
• B.zero 1
• Diva’s Dream
• Fiorever

B.zero 1 (Rock)

The B.zero 1 collection can be called the most innovative collection of the house. The original B.zero 1 design features rather rough, spiral lines – inspired by the circular shape of the Colosseum in Rome. In the more recent “B.zero 1 Rock” collection these lines meet the modern, angular and geometric shape of rivets with new and unusual creations. B.zero 1 is intended to be a bold symbol of uniqueness and self-expression.

Bvlgari Bvlgari

This collection is – as the name suggests – a signature collection of the Bulgari company. The unmistakable circular logo, inspired by the inscriptions on ancient Roman coins, adorns almost every piece of jewelry in this collection. It captivates with new playful variations of the well-known logo and counts as a collection of simple elegance. These creations are designed to open up infinite styling options and gems in vibrant colors add a cheerful splash of color to any outfit.

Serpenti

The snake – for Bulgari a symbol of wisdom, rebirth and life force. As early as 1949, the brand was one of the first to transform this meaningful motif into a timepiece. Since then, snakes have been used to decorate watches, rings and bracelets, and Bulgari has even dedicated the name of an entire collection to this elegant animal – Serpenti. Whether abstract or realistic, the snake winds its way through the brand’s history, representing significant features of the house: love of color, combination of different materials and masterful goldsmithing. The snake is still one of the most popular motifs among wealthy customers.

Interview: Creative director Lucia Silvestri about the Serpenti collection

Watches

• Prices

Prices for watches at Bulgari start at around 1.500€ for simple three-hand watches and range from gold chronographs for around 10.000€ to the most exclusive pieces for up to around 45.000€. But custom-made products, high jewelry like diamond necklaces or special collections can exceed even this price range by quite a lot.

• Tubogas

The so-called Bulgari Tubogas is a supple (watch) bracelet with round contours, which is handmade without soldering. The inspiration for the elegant yet flexible Tubogas motif was the striking shape of the gas pipes used from the 1920s onwards. In the meantime, this shape of the bracelet has become a trademark of the company and can be found in bracelets as well as in watches. Particularly exciting is the combination of snake and wristwatch, which led to the creation of the Serpenti Tubogas. It winds around the arm like a snake, but the head of the supposed snake is the watch’s dial. Like almost all models, it is available in a wide variety of shapes, colors and materials.

• Secret Watches

The so-called Secret Watches are particularly extraordinary pieces: These watches disguise themselves as opulent and eye-catching bracelets in which a dial is hidden somewhere – always hidden by a folding mechanism. Price information on these glamorous pieces of jewelry is only available on request – the Serpenti Misteriosi Secret Watch, for example, is priced at around $69,000 (approx. 58,500€).

• Bvlgari Bvlgari

The Bvlgari Bvlgari watch is the successor of the Bvlgari Roma (1975) and has one of the most legendary designs in the history of watchmaking. The model was not announced, but word of mouth spread quickly and more and more customers wanted to catch one of the iconic watches. The engraved BVLGARI BVLGARI logo was integrated into the design of this model and thus became the famous hallmark of the brand – inspired by coins from ancient Rome. The cylindrical design of the case is also inspired by columns of Roman temples. Seemingly a simple form, it is the result of meticulous architectural studies and heralded the beginning of a new era of design and experimentation at Bulgari. With a simple, timeless yet elegant design, the house created an iconic classic with this watch.

• Awarded watch: Octo Finissimo

The Octo Finissimo is probably one of the most groundbreaking developments at Bulgari. Since 2014 – when the first model was launched – the Octo Finissimo has achieved six world records for the flattest design in six years. Most recently with the Octo Finissimo Tourbillon Chronograph Skeleton Automatic watch, which impresses with its innovative technology and ultra-modern design and a total thickness of only 7.4mm. The Octo Finissimo owes its name to its octagonal shaped dial.

Rings

• B.zero 1

The ring of the B.zero 1 collection is probably one of the trendiest rings worldwide. The design reminiscent of a car rim has become an icon. With both rough, as well as soft and round lines and the inspiration of the Roman Coliseum, this ring is an elegant and timeless classic. Whether narrow or wide, inside or outside set with the finest diamonds, with white or black ceramic (zebra) pattern or classically made only from the basic material – the B.zero 1 is an extremely versatile piece of jewelry. Following the hype around this ring, Bulgari has now designed a follow-up collection, the B.zero 1 skirt (see above). With rivet details the range of design possibilities has become even wider. Here, too, the designs are available in yellow gold, white gold and rose gold. Prices are approximately between 2.500-12.000€.

• Bvlgari Bvlgari

The classic of this ring collection is also adorned with the typical circular logo of the brand. The iconic circle holds various gemstones, some of which are set with a small diamond, and is in turn encircled by a narrow ring band engraved with the classic Bvlgari signature – this ring from the Signature collection should be unmistakable and timeless. A second Bvlgari Bvlgari ring is innovative and designed with a certain amount of wit: it looks like a small water ice, formed from gemstone and set with delicate diamonds at an upper corner. Its stem wraps itself around the finger as a ring band, but does not close completely. The engraved signature can also be found on this ring band. The collection thus ranges from a timeless, classic design to a modern and very playful but nevertheless high-quality version of a ladies ring.

• Serpenti/ Serpenti Viper

The Serpenti rings are available in different designs. One model does not need a snake, only its links, which look like scales, evoke the association with the eponym of this collection. The links are alternately embedded in two colors (one set with precious stones and the other with diamonds) – a simple yet refined ring with color accents. Another model consists of a simple ring band, on the top of which a relatively large snake’s head is emblazoned with small diamonds and colorful gemstones as eyes – a striking, wild and bold ring. The third design is a symbiosis of the two already mentioned models: it combines the scale-like arranged ring links and the depicted snake head, but in a narrower and finer version. The ring is available completely set with diamonds and winds like a baby snake around the finger of its wearer.

“MAI TROPPO: A celebration of the joyful exuberance of Bvlgari and Rome.”

Necklaces

• B. Zero 1

The B.Zero collection for chains is extremely well adapted to the design of the corresponding rings. Basically, the chains are composed of fine, circular links from which in turn a miniature version of each ring is attached – the variations in the design of the pendants are identical to those of the available rings. Unagitated yet unique: a piece of jewelry that can enhance any look and turn it into something modern. The chain length is relatively short, the pendant usually hangs just below the collarbone – the chain is also available in the online store in one length only.

• Bvlgari Bvlgari

The Bvlgari Bvlgari necklaces captivate – just like the earrings and rings of this collection – with their classic and timeless design. The circular logo, on which the Bulgari signature is engraved, includes one round gemstone each, which can be selected in a variety of colors. The pendant is connected by a straight link to a delicate chain, allowing it to rest straight and frontally on the skin of its wearer. The pendant is also identical to the designs of the corresponding earrings and rings.

• Diva’s Dream

The Diva’s Dream necklace is characterized by its simple elegance. A triangle curved on the sides forms the pendant of this necklace. This is framed by the respective selected metal and consists of different selectable gemstones or even mother of pearl. The tip of the triangular pendant is also set in and connected to the necklace by a small link set with diamonds. According to Bulgari, the Diva’s Dream collection is a Roman tribute to the glamorous divas and is intended to embody feminine elegance.

Earrings

• Bvlgari Bvlgari

The Bvlgari Bvlgari earrings or ear studs are probably among the most simple and at the same time most sought-after earrings of the brand. They captivate with their timeless design and can be combined with almost any outfit. The significant Bvlgari engraving gives the studs an even more high-quality and modern touch. The model is available either as a simple button plug with colored inlays of gemstones or diamonds in the core, framed by white gold, yellow gold or rose gold. Or as a circle set with diamonds attached to the Bvlgari logo. The price of the earrings is around 800-5.000€. This piece of jewelry is supposed to radiate a typical Roman as well as a strikingly modern flair and stands, according to Bulgari, for casual glamour and effortless elegance.

• B.zero 1 Creole

The B.zero 1 Creole is the matching counterpart to the iconic B.zero 1 ring. It has the same design as the ring: round and spiral lines in the style of the Roman Colosseum. This earring is also only made as an ear stud, but the piece of jewelry nestles around the ear like a small Creole. You can choose between several designs: wide or narrow, set with diamonds, with ceramic highlights, in white gold, yellow gold or rose gold. The creole – like the ring – is framed by the stylistic Bvlgari engraving.

When Charles Lewis Tiffany took over as sole manager in 1853, the name was changed and Tiffany & Co. was born.

Design: Colors, Patterns & Sayings

Big earrings, flashy necklaces, colorful scarves and of course the famous festival bracelets. Everyone knows the small but special ribbon, which signals that you were at a festival. Nowadays it is not only a sign that the entrance fee has been paid, but also a colourful highlight matching the style and a souvenir of the eventful time at the festival. Many young people keep their wristband on their wrist even after the festival and even collect several bands over time, which gradually adorn their arm. As a result, festival wristbands no longer just serve their purpose, but are becoming increasingly popular among festival goers. The colours, patterns, shapes and finishes of the charming bands also vary from event to event, so that you can find everything from inconspicuous and neutral to gaudy and patterned.

While festival wristbands used to be relatively inconspicuous and simple, nowadays the arm jewellery exists in a wide variety of colours, patterns and variations. Whether neon, patterned or with a special saying – the festival bracelet makes a personal statement and reminds you for a long time of an eventful and unforgettable time at the festival.

Colours – colourful & eye-catching

The more colorful and flashy the best! This is the motto of most popular festivals, because it expresses good mood and a lively atmosphere. Most of the time, the wristbands are designed with regard to the respective festival and reflect its motto, the music genre and the style, which usually directly identifies which event it is. In addition, the color of the wristband usually also marks the price category and the accompanying benefits that one has on the day. For example, a green wristband could say that you only paid the entrance fee, while a red wristband stands for VIP entrance including drinks.

Pattern – printed or sewn in eye-catcher

Most festival wristbands are kept relatively plain, but there are also events where the bands are characterized by patterns. Whether small logos or large-scale patterns – these wristbands are definitely an eye-catcher! The patterns can either be printed, sewn, woven or glued on.

Sayings – Logo or saying as a distinctive feature

In order to identify the particular festival, most event planners have a logo or a slogan printed on the wristbands, which serves as a distinctive feature. At larger, well-known festivals, such as the Hurricane, with around 70,000 visitors every year, the festival wristband is a very special highlight, which is why the name of the event must not be missing on the wristband.

Materials: Paper, Plastic & Fabric

Paper: the simplest option for small events

The simplest and original form of a festival wristband is one made of paper. This is mostly used at smaller festivals and is kept rather simple. Most of the time it really only serves as a marker for visitors and is taken off again after the event.

Plastic: sturdy festival wristbands

The plastic variant is also a well-known type of ribbon. Unlike paper ribbons, these are waterproof and therefore not as sensitive. Nevertheless, these also do not have such a great commemorative value, since they are most monochrome and possibly only decorated with a lettering and usually have no other special features. In addition, they are not as comfortable as the variation made of fabric and are therefore usually not worn longer than necessary.

Fabric: pleasant & long-lasting memorabilia

The most popular and now most commonly used variant of festival wristbands is the one made of fabric. These are usually braided or woven and therefore feel comfortable on the skin when worn. The bands are usually quite soft and comfortable, so you hardly notice them during the festival but also afterwards. In addition, festival wristbands made of fabric are very durable, as they are water resistant and washable and therefore do not deteriorate as quickly as, for example, bands made of paper.

Closure: Push Button, Fast Lock & Self Adhesive

Most festival wristbands have a clasp that is closed once and can no longer be used after opening. This prevents multiple use, so the wristbands can not be given to other people. The simplest form is a self-adhesive closure that is designed so that it cannot be returned to its original shape after it has been opened for the first time. For plastic bracelets, a snap fastener is most commonly used as the closure method, where it can be decided how loose the bracelet should be and the appropriate hole can be chosen accordingly. The most common variant for fabric bracelets is a so-called Fast Lock closure. This is a plastic tube that can be pulled onto the band as far as desired, but cannot be pushed back. Accordingly, the selected size remains firmly on the wrist and the excess band can be cut off. Here I have once again summarized the most common variations of the closures.

• Self-adhesive
• Push button
• Fast Lock

Festival wristbands are not only a good option to identify and highlight a certain group and celebration, but also convince as a fashionable accessory on every outfit. Your wristband will remind you of the respective festival, the people associated with it, the exuberant mood and good music for a long time to come. Thus, festival bracelets are not only a piece of ribbon on your wrist, but at the same time preserve countless beautiful memories. Whether children’s birthday parties, smaller celebrations or festivals lasting several days – the popular wristbands are a must-have at every event and will remain with you long after as a souvenir of the eventful time!

Most festival wristbands are kept relatively plain, but there are also events where the bands are characterized by patterns. Whether small logos or large-scale patterns – these wristbands are definitely an eye-catcher! The patterns can either be printed, sewn, woven or glued on.

Sayings – Logo or saying as a distinctive feature

In order to identify the particular festival, most event planners have a logo or a slogan printed on the wristbands, which serves as a distinctive feature. At larger, well-known festivals, such as the Hurricane, with around 70,000 visitors every year, the festival wristband is a very special highlight, which is why the name of the event should definitely not be missing on the band.

Materials: Paper, Plastic & Fabric

Paper: the simplest option for small events

The simplest and original form of a festival wristband is one made of paper. This is mostly used at smaller festivals and is kept rather simple. Most of the time it really only serves as a marker for visitors and is taken off after the event.

Plastic: sturdy festival wristbands

The plastic variant is also a well-known type of ribbon. Unlike paper ribbons, these are waterproof and therefore not as sensitive. Nevertheless, these also do not have such a great commemorative value, since they are most monochrome and possibly only decorated with a lettering and usually have no other special features. In addition, they are not as comfortable as the variation made of fabric and are therefore usually not worn longer than necessary.

Fabric: pleasant & long-lasting memorabilia

The most popular and now most commonly used variant of festival wristbands is the one made of fabric. These are usually braided or woven and therefore feel comfortable on the skin when worn. The bands are usually quite soft and comfortable, so you hardly notice them during the festival but also afterwards. In addition, festival wristbands made of fabric are very durable, as they are water resistant and washable and therefore do not deteriorate as quickly as, for example, bands made of paper.

Closure: Push Button, Fast Lock & Self Adhesive

Most festival wristbands have a clasp that is closed once and can no longer be used after opening. This prevents multiple use, so the wristbands can not be given to other people. The simplest form is a self-adhesive closure that is designed so that it cannot be returned to its original shape after it has been opened for the first time. For plastic bracelets, a snap fastener is most commonly used as the closure method, where it can be decided how loose the bracelet should be and the appropriate hole can be chosen accordingly. The most common variant for fabric bracelets is a so-called Fast Lock closure. This is a plastic tube that can be pulled onto the band as far as desired, but cannot be pushed back. Accordingly, the selected size remains firmly on the wrist and the excess band can be cut off. Here I have once again summarized the most common variations of the closures.

• Self-adhesive
• Push button
• Fast Lock

Festival wristbands are not only a good option to identify and highlight a certain group and celebration, but also convince as a fashionable accessory on every outfit. Your wristband will remind you of the respective festival, the people associated with it, the exuberant mood and good music for a long time to come. Thus, festival bracelets are not only a piece of ribbon on your wrist, but at the same time preserve countless beautiful memories. Whether children’s birthday parties, smaller celebrations or festivals lasting several days – the popular wristbands are a must-have at every event and will remain with you long after as a souvenir of the eventful time!

Continuation of the rose gold trend

First, some perhaps relaxing news: yes, the darling trend of rose gold is here to stay. So if you didn’t get your lover a heart pendant or infinity ring in rose precious metal for Valentine’s Day, she can still make up for it because the trend is here to stay. The ring will definitely match your watch with the big round dial from last season. For more inspiration and gorgeous jewellery ideas, visit valmano.co.uk.

Back from the 90’s are now the name chains. Wear your first name in gold or silver script quite close to your neck and combine it with several other filigree necklaces of different lengths. It is still très chic to mix several metal colours. Jewellery that is too uniform looks unfashionable!

How much the trend is back on the catwalks, models also show at the Berlin Fashion Week. Like Sandra Hunke, who is both a fashion model and a trained craftswoman. Last summer she got her marriage proposal at the Fashion Week with a ring in rose gold, live she always presents in a rose gold outfit and soon, she will release her first design line in rose gold. As said, the favorite trend of rose gold remains.

Seen on Instagram: The pearl trend

Baroque pearls are a new mega trend. Oversized earrings with irregularly shaped, drop-shaped pearls were the favorite accessories of the top models at the fashion shows. Of course, this jewelry trend has nothing in common with the traditional pearl necklace from grandma. Do you love classic, fresh and young interpretations? Even if you have so far given the stuffy pearl necklace a wide berth: The new pearl jewelry looks super casual with jeans, suits every woman and is suitable for many wearing occasions. Fashion pros combine the pearls either in baroque opulence freely according to the motto “more is more” or rely on large, decorative individual pieces. It is particularly stylish to wear several bracelets made of cultured pearls in different sizes on the wrist.

Purple accessories with asian touch

Trend color 2018: Ultraviolet. The fashionable hue, previously known as purple, is making its way through all the international fashion shows and is already getting rave reviews from fashion bloggers on Instagram. Purple looks especially beautiful in combination with gold and jade green.

In general, the gemstone jade is said to be making a big comeback. In the course of Asian-inspired fashion with print motifs of lotus blossoms and dragons, accessories with jade beads, for example in imaginatively composed bracelets, are a perfect complement.

What feathers were last season, “tassels” are now. Colorful or plain tassels made of wool or silk threads decorate woven friendship bracelets in ethnic style (seen at the Christian Dior show) or hang decoratively on the ear of every fashionista. The designers combine the colourful tassel earrings with precious stones in contrasting colours.

The narrow choker is back

Any woman who loves slender necklaces will love the dainty choker necklace trend. Whether composed of several sparkling diamonds or only provided with a delicate pendant: It’s important to note that the new chokers are not as wide as they were last season. Of course, they are still worn close to the neck for an extra sexy look. Could this be a nice gift idea for Valentine’s Day?

The greatest advantage of pendants from the Thomas Sabo collection is certainly their versatility in combination. The pendants look good on chains made of silver, gold or delicate rosé, as well as on colourful jewellery bands. Whether feminine, rocky, classic, sensual or extravagant – the often symbolic motifs and elaborate ornaments are made with great attention to detail and, thanks to the regular updating of the collection, always offer new designs and exciting color creations.

Summer of love – Pendant for lovers

Just as the signs of being in love conjure up unmistakable beauty in every face, so too do the matching pendants from Thomas Sabo create sparkling eyes and red cheeks. Especially in summer, many couples want to express their surging feelings and give each other pleasure with small gifts. Whether letter combinations, sparkling motifs with cubic zirconia and diamonds, or even simple heart motifs in countless designs, lovers are spoilt for choice. Parental love is not neglected here either. Among the pendants from Thomas Sabo there are also little treasures with inscriptions such as “Best Mom” and the like.

Thomas Sabo child pendant

Animal motifs are particularly popular with children. There are not only the classics such as cats and horses, but also more unusual variants with bats, turtles, dragonflies and hummingbirds. The classic lucky motifs such as shamrocks and stars are also among the most popular motifs for Thomas Sabo pendants this summer 2015.

Special Collection GLAM AND SOULD by Thomas Sabo

The GLAM AND SOUL collection deserves special attention this summer. Here you can create your own individual pendants from numerous elements and create endless combinations and designs. Onyx plateaus and romantic mother-of-pearl discs serve here, for example, as the basis for striking cut-outs or fancy arabesque motifs. If this seems too ostentatious for you, you can set beautiful fashion accents with pendants in a small format or complete eye-catching outfits with simple highlights. Through this versatility every summer outfit can be given more style and every style can be given that special something through fresh colours, playful designs and fancy finishes.

Thomas Sabo Summer Collection 2015

For summer 2015, the new collection with over 50 diverse designs has already been launched. There are classic love signs and new heart motifs, as well as typical summer designs such as red peeptoes or sandals. In addition, the world of the Internet is now also making its way into the Charm Club. Somewhat unusual, but no less exciting for that, new motifs like tablets, emoticons or the hashtag appear here.

In total, you have a choice of more than 500 filigree, charming, glamorous or magnificent motifs from the Thomas Sabo pendant collection, which can be combined in a variety of ways and thus make it easy for you to develop an individual style. A passion for collecting will definitely be awakened here!

An exquisite accessory was created here from precious materials that is guaranteed to make every woman’s heart beat faster. The lower part is formed by a black leather strap that has been tastefully and playfully decorated with a diamond embossing. The eye-catcher, however, is the gold-coloured chain element made of stainless steel, which is also matched by the shiny buckle that stylishly rounds off the accessory. The Michael Kors leather bracelet is about 20 centimeters long and wears very comfortably on the skin. It can also be combined very well and looks great next to a fine Michael Kors watch, for example. With this extraordinary piece you will definitely be the eye-catcher everywhere and can give every simple outfit a spark of glamour!

If you are also thinking about getting one of these Michael Kors leather bracelets, I would like to give you a few tips on how to take care of it, so that it will stay with you for a long time. To remove coarse or fine dirt particles, never use cosmetics indiscriminately, but always use soft, lint-free cloths. Under no circumstances should the jewellery come into contact with harsh cleaning agents or be stored in damp rooms, as otherwise it runs the risk of oxidising. You should also take off your Michael Kors leather bracelet when gardening, showering, exercising or sunbathing. If you treat it with care, nothing can go wrong and you will enjoy it for a long time!

A little guide for exactly the right care for your leather bracelet
