Central London ‘party’ costume jewellery

Whether you out in one of the best bars in the capital, London, or if your at one of the finest dining venues London has to offer, your costume jewellery, or well, diamonds will be the second most important thought outside of what outfit your going to wear!

Costume jewellery is all about being bold, confident, and well, quite sparkly really. The babe turns to princess in the lights of Soho london, or Buddha Bar in London.  Now, going to any eveny in london, your going to want to look your best. But where are the best placed to get your essential Jewellery??!

You have 2 key choices, going out to Oxford street and hitting the likes of Accessorize or M&S,  or you have the choice to hit your PC, or MAC if your posh (not the make up, the computer). Either is a good choice, but the internet had the advantage of shopping from home, which is a massively growing trend (if you have not noticed, then where have you been!!). You can have goods delivered to your home, so no fuss, and many sites offer free delivery and no quibble returns!

Keep your eyes open for bold, colourful and unique pieces! Thats what will make your outfit complete for the city!

Love, Shefaly

Big earrings for a big night out!

Large earrings have been the range in the last few years. Big fashion and costume earrings have been seen on the catwalk, and in the clubs, but are they right for you?!

Large earrings have the usual issue, can you ears take the weight? Well, now you can find ultra light earrings, which will still look the part, and not look cheap and tacky like they have come from the $1 machine!

These earrings are in many colours, and are made by infusing rodium with a light alloy which is totally safe and nickel free, so it wont harm you or cause any rashes, unless you are one of those few who can only wear real silver or real gold jewellery!

The light big earrings can be found at many retailer and web shops. They are also found in various colour finishes, from black metal, silver, and gold finishes. Shefaly house of jewels also have them in many crystal colours, such as reds, greens and purples.

Look out ladies, large, ultra light, comfortable earrings are in!

Christmas wedding costume jewellery

Wedding season is no longer restricted to the summer months. Many brides have Christmas weddings, and so need to choose the appropriate Christmas wedding costume jewellery for the occasion. Costume jewellery is the best choice of jewellery for Christmas weddings as costume jewellery can come sparkly and in so many different colours that it makes perfect bridal jewellery or bridesmaid’s jewellery.

If you are having a Christmas wedding, why not go for a Christmas wedding theme. This could include wearing a red wedding dress or a green wedding dress, and matching your jewellery and handbag to it too. So you could go for red costume jewellery or green costume jewellery. If you don’t want to be too matchy matchy go for crystal costume jewellery. Not only will this sparkle loads, but crystal costume jewellery can also be worn with many other outfits in the future.

Bridal jewellery is a great way of expressing your own personality when it comes to your wedding day, and this is even more the case when it comes to a themed wedding like a Christmas wedding as your costume jewellery will be even more spectacular than otherwise would be the case.

Cocktail rings can be found in many colours and finishes, from crystal to bead, and silver to gold, in green, blue, red and purple! This also means that the prices may vary somewhat.
