Many would say that diamonds are the ultimate in glamour. They’re like the physical representation of wealth and luxury. But true glamour doesn’t come from diamonds alone: you may have the most ostentatious accessories, the highest quality jewels, but all that means nothing unless you wear them well.
Right now that means wearing them with a little bit of attitude. As Numero’s November 2011 issue demonstrates that can go two ways: stripping it back to understated clothing and making the jewels the focus, or going all-out bling in an outfit of head to toe sparkle, the jewels almost lost amongst the unabashed display of edgy glamour.
It’s not all diamonds in Ben Hassett’s shoot, which stars Juju Ivanyuk. Against the dark lipstick and easy hairstyle, which both help to keep the diamonds away from feeling stuffy, you’ll also find gold pieces and chains.
