POWER GRID Adorn yourself with jewels inspired by architectural elements. Inject an urban edge into your jewellery wardrobe this season with metallic mesh patterns and grid-like silhouettes. Key Style Notes Open wirework Layering Repetition Geometric patterns

ROCK CHIC It’s rough and raw, this season texture and surface interest are key. Embrace the natural landscape of hidden treasure and celebrate the earth’s bounty from below the crust. Key Style Notes Uncut stones Semi-precious rocks Oversize elements Statement jewels

PROM QUEEN Embrace the charm and celebration associated with proms and 1950s- inspired femininity where girl-next-door charm meets vintage nostalgia with a sneaky glance across to kitsch. Key Style Notes Vintage pearls Bow motifs Flower bouquets Sweetheart jewels

CYBER STREET Techno princess meets urban warrior in a look that oozes sexy sass. Embrace colour and clash up those patterns. More-is-more gives you license to layer your jewels. Shrinking violets need not apply. Key Style Notes Oversized hoops Slogan pendants Irridescent finishes Chunky chains

SURFACE APPEAL This season sees surface embellishment adorn clothes on a grand scale. Pailettes, embroidery, crystal beadwork and lace abound, creating texture-rich surfaces that capture the imagination and beg to be touched.  Key Style Notes Intricate beadwork Paste and crystal Cabochon stones Mixed media

SHEET METAL A counterpoint to the season’s more fancilful trends, this is an opportunity to enjoy minimalism’s new mood. Silhouette and detail are kept simple, the focus is on oversized jewellery which celebrates the beauty of precious metal.  Key Style Notes Flat planes Geometric silhouettes Supersized jewellery Pale metal
