The two hemispheres are just trading seasons, with summer dresses moving one way and fur-packed wardrobes going the other. One thing, at least, remains intact and in-sync with 2011 and 2012 fashions: the preference towards solid metal jewellery. Choker necklaces, cuff bracelets and chunky metal rings: they all can be worn regardless of the weather conditions.
We’ve already told you what the look is all about and shown you how to wear it. Now it only seems fitting to tell you where to buy it from. Fashionising.com has hand-picked 6 solid metal jewellery pieces in almost every shape and form.

honestly, it’s not. Elizabeth and James have reinterpreted stone-age jewellery with a
contemporary guise.

Ridged Drop Earrings
Oscar de la Renta
