Statement jewellery: From neon to black?

I feel like the fashion world has been obsessed with neon jewellery for ages. The statement jewellery trend of the past few years has always been intertwined with the neon trend, and we have all been drooling over brightly coloured statement pieces for the past few seasons. As regular readers will know, I instantly fall in love with anything neon, so the neon statement jewellery look was definitely one of my go-to favourites in times of outfit crises. However, with the new hottest colour combo being black and white, I think times may be changing. Despite my obsession with neon jewellery, I found myself drawn to this beautiful ring in the photo above from The PvdH Journal. All of a sudden, all my bright neons felt too garish compared to a piece that made such a subtle but strong style statement. Then, when I saw the necklace below at Covet Chic: an exact replica in terms of design of all the neon necklaces I've been wearing, but with black stones instead of the usual bright yellow ones, it made me think: is neon jewellery on its way out and is black statement jewellery the next big trend? Even Tom Binns, who pretty much started the neon statement jewellery trend, has a line of dark colours. Take a look at my picks below and let me know what you think!

From top to bottom, after the first Covet Chic necklace: Max and Chloe earrings, Mawi brooch, Dannijo necklace, Iosselliani earrings, Covet Chic bracelet, Max and Chloe necklace, Joomi Lim necklace, Iosselliani necklace, Tom Binns necklace.

This necklace by Anton Heunis is much simpler than the big statement necklaces I usually go for, but I love the subtle statement that it would make. Check out the rest of the collection here.

Kate Hudson for Ann Taylor: the jewellery

When I saw this picture on Fashion Foie Gras, all I could look at was that stunning necklace! Then when I saw more pics of Kate Hudson's campaign for Ann Taylor, fell in love with every single piece of jewellery! Ann Taylor is definitely the place to go for statement necklaces this season!

Mango beaded star necklace

This bright and beautiful necklace is, once again, by Mango. It consists of rows of beads adorned with two embellished stars. What a lovely statement piece! Available in orange, white and black here.

Sabrina Dehoff jewellery

Hope & Fear is one of Sabrina Dehoff's a/w collections. I was particularly drawn to this collection because of the coloured stones, as you can see in the bottom left of the picture above. These stones are matched with a similarly coloured rope to create monochrome jewellery that would add a strong pop of colour to a look. Although I couldn't find the more colourful pieces on the website, I also love the monochrome necklaces below for a sophisticated statement. Find them here.

Just fabulous. I especially love how she's added at statement necklace to a casual, but already quite busy tee. From Stockholm Streetstyle.

Mango beetle necklace

A few seasons ago, bugs started entering our the world of jewellery. Not literally, thank goodness, but lots of designers started incorporating bug designs in their collections. Topshop has been especially keen on this trend, coming up with lots of beetle and bumble bee necklaces. Now Mango has given a very chic spin on this trend. This beetle necklace has a chain covered in fabric and a beetle made out of some beautiful stones. Available here.

Miss Selfridge's lookbook for spring 2012 has some great outfits, like the one above. But the two looks that really caught my eye were those below, because of the styling.

Frieda & Nellie jewellery + a reminder

First of all - I want to apologize for this post being a bit out of control in terms of the looong picture below, but I couldn't help myself, I just love everything this label makes! The brand is called Frieda & Nellie and all of its pieces are handmade. Almost all pieces include colourful braiding mixed with vintage rhinestones for a bright result. I especially love all the bracelets, although I think my favourite item might be the neon earrings! Shop the collection here.

Kurt Geiger neon necklace

The shows going on for Fall 2012 at the moment have told us to hold on to our obsession with neon for a little bit longer. You won't hear me complaining! My latest find is this beauty from Kurt Geiger. It features glass stones with a neon yellow background that would work perfectly under the collar of a shirt. You could add this to so many outfits! I would love to see it with other citrus colours such as tangerine. How would you style it?
