Although the long hot summer days we were having recently seem like they were decades ago, there will be another heat wave soon and we think you should be prepared! Everyone always mentions sun screen, hats and sunglasses but how about your jewellery? A girl should never forget accessorising whatever the weather is like!

For summer we recommend going as light as you cannot without compromising style. So chunky rings are great, for example our fabulous Flower Power rings are a great accessory for summer, especially since floral patterns are so in for this season!

Also, when going for necklaces try and stay light and simple. This can be a simple drop necklace like the one shown below or a beaded necklace that is still very en vogue. But stay away from chokers, this can be a deadly sin on a hot summers day!

Why not post a comment on this topic and give our readers some of your own advice too!

This coming Autumn/Winter 2008-9 sees your wardrobe to be filled with sparkle! Sparkly beaded tops and dresses are a must have and the best way to accessorise your new wardrobe will be with gorgeous jewellery.

There are two ways you can go about accessorising such items of clothing- go all out with large costume jewellery sets which go really well with more plainer outfits, or go for smaller more intricately detailed items like simple sets, rings or bracelets.

But you don’t have to only stick with jewellery. Handbags are a real must have accessory, and these too can be sparkly big and bold!

Whatever you decide to wear this coming season, do it with style and confidence with a piece of jewellery from the House of Jewels.

A fabulous ring can make even the plainest hand look delicate and pretty, the only question is, how do you know it will suit you?

Choosing the right ring for your self (or as a present) really depends on how often it is going to be worn. If you’re a full-time party girl and are likely to have it on a lot of the time, then perhaps a more expensive ring is your best bet…but if you’re like me and you’d only wear it occassionally, then perhaps the affordable route is the best way to go.

Also, remember that long delicate fingers can generally get away with larger rings as the size of the ring does not make your hands and fingers look any smaller. You can easily get away with our Green Crystal Bloom Cocktail Ring or the gorgeous Large Crystal Ring. If you have smaller hands and shorter fingers, try going for something more delicate like the Purple Cat’s Eye Ring or the Topaz Almond Cocktail Ring which will give the illusion that your fingers are longer than they really are!  The ring selection at the House of Jewels is truely unique and is sure to make an impact wherever you wear them.
