String and Sparkle

Diamonds are a girl's best friend and so is everything that sparkles. Don't get me wrong I appreciate expensive jewellery and of course love diamonds but there is so much good variety in cheaper versions of sparkle. The new trend is the combination of organic materials such as strings and rope with metal, gems and swarovski crystals. One of my favourite brands establishing this trend is Jolita. From their current collection my two favourite necklace pieces are the 

Bacchus Cameo and Flower Statement Necklace and the

Avignon Necklace. Their prices are a big high but they are definitely good for at least getting inspiration. 

One of my friends surprised me a few weeks back with the necklace in the main photo of this post and it reminded me the of  Jolita jewellery. She got it in Singapore and post it to me so unfortunately I can't offer any link for it. Needless to say that I loved it!! I have seen similar ones in accessorize and as I was browsing online I found a few examples of this trend

A much cheaper version is this Cindy Collar from baublebar.

What I love about them is that they go perfectly well with jeans and plain tops as they add a hip and modern character to a very classic style. 

So girls yes sometimes it is fine to keep diamonds in the safe and wear simpler versions of sparkle without feeling guilty! But to be safe let's just keep that a secret and let men still believe that only real diamonds can do the trick ;)
