Costume jewellery can come in so many different styles, shapes and colours, but when considering a fine piece of costume jewellery quality is of utmost importance. For example, when buying cocktail rings, there are many out there that you can be for £10.00 or less but these are guaranteed to break or stones fall out of them within a couple of weeks of you wearing the product! That is why the House of Jewel’s costume jewellery is generally of such high quality. In addition, we have bought in an extra exquisite range of costume jewellery called the Anjouxxx Collection.

This exclusive range of costume jewellery is designed with Cameron Diaz & Catherine Zeta-Jones in mind. Its style is opulent and of the highest quality. The costume jewellery is hand crafted, many from sterling silver, and contains glass crystals, Swarovski crystals or Austrian Crystals. The elegant and dazzling designs compliment the use of these stones, and is the type of costume jewellery you can pass onto a loved one.

The prices for this range can be expected to be at a premium due to the additional attributes provided, but we are sure that it is worth it!  This range is exclusive to our website only, designed exclusively by Shefaly (now a registered trade mark), and named after someone special in her life.

The Anjouxxx collection costume jewellery was initially made as Asian bridal jewellery or English wedding jewellery. However, this type of costume jewellery is also fabulous as evening wear for parties, especially costume jewellery for Christmas parties or balls and even proms! They can also be matched up with so many other types of costume jewellery like cocktail rings or bracelets that are available. So even though you may be paying a premium for this collection of costume jewellery, you can wear it so many times that the cost becomes minute in relation to the wears you can get out of it!

(Please note that Anjouxxx collection cocktail rings are not adjustable to fit and require a large, medium or small ring size to be stated at checkout).

 This range has without a doubt made a movement of a new trend!

Costume jewellery doesn’t come as flamboyant, colourful and sparkly as when you see it in an Asian Wedding. Asian wedding costume jewellery can be very similar but also very different to English wedding costume jewellery.

Asian bridal jewellery is usually very colourful. To match the saris and suits that all the stunning women wear, they must accessorise with very colourful costume jewellery. This could be pink costume jewellery, red costume jewellery, or blue costume jewellery. It doesn’t matter what it is as long as it is colourful. This doesn’t only relate to women as men wear colourful outfits too and this is often paired with colourful cufflinks. This is where our beautiful and elegant crystal cufflinks come in! They look fabulous on a double cuff bespoke shirt, and look great when matched to your tie, your suit lining or even to your other halves outfit!

In addition, you will notice that the women in the bridal party or on the groom’s side will wear quiet heavy necklace and earring sets. This is so that people know that they are part of the bridal or grooms side. It also matches the really heavy outfits that the women would traditionally wear to the wedding.

However nowadays there is a tradition to for the bride to wear more English costume jewellery for their registry. This is more contemporary less bling style jewellery. This is because more and more brides are looking for a more English themed wedding, with many even getting married abroad more than ever before.

So if you are ever lucky enough to be invited to an Asian wedding, there are three things to remember about your costume jewellery- bling, bold and colourful costume jewellery all the way!

Swarovski crystal is made from an electric cutting machine that produces crystal glass jewellery in Austria. This machine was founded and patented by Daniel Swarovski in 1895.

This type of crystal is more expensive than glass as it has a higher density and purity. That is why the costume jewellery that contains this fabulous superior quality cut and polished crystal is more expensive than costume jewellery that is made from acrylic, Austrian Crystals or Cubic Zircon or Glass crystals.

So when considering purchasing bridal jewellery or costume jewellery you really should consider whether it is Swarovski Crystal Costume Jewellery. Costume jewellery that contains Swarovski Crystal really will have the most sparkle and allure than any other piece of bridal jewellery or costume jewellery. In addition it will also be a piece that you will look at in the future and still be timeless as Swarovski crystal will never go out of fashion.

Earrings can really vary in size and shape and it’s all up to personal preference as to what type of earrings you would like to accessorise your outfit with. But we thought we’d help you decide!

The most versatile pair of earrings you can buy is a small and dainty pair of earrings which you can almost wear with anything and can suit absolutely anybody.  As they are not so heavy, these earrings can come with fish hook ends or as metal ended ones.

You can also try going for medium heavy earrings. These types of earrings can be perfect as bridal jewellery or even as part of costume jewellery worn on a special evening out with a loved one!

Finally earrings can also be quiet heavy. These generally contain Swarovski crystals and therefore do not come with fish hook ends and are generally metal ended. These costume jewellery earrings are also quiet large and can often hit the nape of the neck. But they are absolutely fabulous and as far as costume jewellery goes can really make an individual the belle of the ball! Or wear as bridal jewellery when you have a fairly simple dress as it will really make you stand out!

If you really are not sure what you like when it comes to earrings or costume jewellery, drop us an email or call and we will help you choose the best pair of earrings for your special event.

The way your hair is going to look on your big day is really important and will really finish off your look. The best way to decide this is to look at your face shape and go with a style that really suits it.

Round face: Round faces look best when hair is kept down or swept to one side. Make sure you accessorise the look well- something like the Bloom hair claw would look great!

Oval face: You are really lucky if you have an oval face as any style would look great! Try having elegant curls with a gorgeous hair comb worn as a tiara or even a French chignon with little hair pins elegantly placed all over your hair.

Long faces: Avoid having your hair down if this describes your face shape. Try big voluminous curls with a gorgeous tiara. And avoid a hair cut that is too short.

Square face: Square faces look best with short hair styles so accessorise with a gorgeous little hair slide. Add wispy curls for a dramatic look

Whatever your face shape and personal style is, just make sure you are comfortable with the way you look on your special day!

A recent survey showed that the average cost of weddings is rising and that a wedding can now cost anywhere between £16,000 for a standard wedding to £150,000! This cost includes all expenses such as the honeymoon, the venue, catering and the wedding bands. However the cost allocated to make the bride look amazing is £1700 and this includes hair, makeup and all the gorgeous jewellery that is to adorn the beautiful bride.

But not all of us can afford to spend so much on our accessories alone, that’s why costume jewellery is such a great alternative, including earrings, necklaces, bracelets and hair accessories. So why compromise looking your absolute best on the most important day of your life by skimping on your gorgeous jewellery for the big day and go for style and quality

How else do you think you can keep the cost of a wedding down? Comment on this article below.
