Once you have the statement, it will design itself

Bob Gill

They may say to take one thing off before leaving the house; we say put one or two (or even three!) more pieces of jewellery on. With My Jewellery Story, too much is never enough.

Welcome to the MYJS Guide to Statement Jewellery to get the most out of your bold, unique and unapologetically dramatic pieces.

The MYJS Mantra To Wear Statement Jewellery By

💖 Make every moment an occasion

💖 Keep it glamour to go

💖 Always steal the spotlight

When it comes to making an entrance, sparkling gems are mandatory. The everyday can be elevated with the addition of a statement piece. Your 2pm coffee run is another excuse to show off an armful of bracelets. After dark, brandish a dramatic cocktail ring.

It’s always your time to shine – and you can do big, effortlessly.

From necklaces to earrings, bracelets and rings, there is every option for the new seasonal fashion staple or meaningful gifts – even when it’s a gift to oneself.

Making a statement with words is the least effective method

Grey Livingston

The point about statement pieces are they stand out – they’re screaming to be seen and heard. Clean, graphic silhouettes always tie everything together. These timeless, minimalist and refined pieces means dressed up or dressed down, your statement jewellery will always be fashionably modern – and fierce.

Let one piece do all the talking, and pare back on your other pieces so they don’t end up competing against each other. But when you do make your choice, dare to go big, bold and unapologetically dramatic. Forget the rules – it’s all about attitude.

Statement Necklaces

MYJS Personalised Necklaces are fierce fashion statements – with meaning.

We always need a go-to necklace in our jewellery arsenal – one that is unique and bold. Drawing attention to your chest, it’s the piece that makes us feel confident and strong – and adds spice and drama to every outfit. From showstopping pendants to chains for that LBD or a tshirt and jacket, we can rock a statement necklace any time, day and night of the week.

The most profound statements are said in silence

Statement Earrings

MYJS Statement Drop and Statement Carrier Earrings are designed to mix + match with MYJS Mix Charms for an endless variety of stunning statement earring combinations and unapologetic sparkle.

Be it for during the day or After 5, Statement Earrings are an expression of attitude. Designed to pack a punch, Statement Earrings can be elegant, a little wild, and complicated.

Statement Earrings were never designed to follow the rules. They’re all about personality, creating a focal point for your outfit while injecting a thrill to the look. So dare to add an element of the unexpected and level up casual monochrome, all black or denim.

Drawing attention to your face, statement earrings add personality to every outfit from a plain sweater to a business suit. To make sure they’re showstoppers, wear with a low, messy bun, a high ponytail or a low up-do.

Statement Rings

Be the sensation. Go bold with gems for days for the ultimate in sparkly twinkles with our Statement Rings from the Octagon Cut Collection. Share your brightest light with the world.

Bold and audacious in design, statement rings are generally worn from ‘cocktail hour’ onwards due to the impracticality for all-day, every-day wear – apparently. Ok, maybe boardroom meetings are out for flashy statement rings, but never say never to an elegant ring stack on the one finger or bold signet rings in the office. When it comes to fun, wear it fabulous – and with attitude.

Be a voice, not an echo

Bracelets

MYJS Bangles and Bracelets are designed for smooth wearing and intense sparkle.

Amp up a tshirt, short sleeved shirt or rolled up cuffs with a flash of your wrist.

From stacking bangles to wearing cuffs or rocking a one-of-a-kind charm bracelet, always opt for bold and interesting.

Fashion is about owning whatever you’re wearing, regardless if it’s a high fashion statement or not

Cluster Earrings

myjs-mix-statement-carrier-earrings-myjewellerystory-blog
MYJS Statement Carrier Earrings shine bright and sparkly for a variety of show stopping cluster earrings.

Cluster earrings trace their history back to 1700s Industrial England, with the trend returning late 1800s and again as an inspiration of 1930s Art Deco. A classic cluster is round or oval featuring a round of gemstones as a halo around a central gem. Modern clusters are more likely to use a mix of geometric shapes and can be either uniform or a mix of gemstones.  

As studs or drop, cluster earrings are the instant confidence booster, so go fierce – in attitude and look.

MYJS Statement Drop Earrings take it straight to Diva.

Clear crystal cluster earrings are perfect for a luxurious, glammy look for a special event. Feel like a queen with swept-up hair and eye-catching cluster earrings.

They also add to a powerful business woman look with a bit more drama for polish. Cluster earrings especially pop against the conventional dark business look. Want it all? Cluster earrings work beautifully with bright colours: from brilliant reds, yellows and neons, go all the way to over-the-top-fabulousness and balance with cluster earrings.

Working the loose boho look or a baggy sweater? Cluster drop earrings balances it all out with a dash of sparkle that’s just so right. 

Drop Earrings

April’s Birthstone: Rocking Sparkly Jewellery Fashion

sparkle-fashion-myjewellerystory-blog-banner

I see but one rule: to be clear

Stendahl

Renowned for their strength and brilliance, April’s birthstone of Diamonds welcomes all sparkly jewellery as the stones of purity, perfection and invincible power. As the master healer of all gemstones, diamonds and clear crystals focuses, amplifies, stores and transforms energy while enhancing mental clarity. There is dynamism in their perfection, where they inspire love, imagination, courage and integrity with the power to drive away bad energy or fortune.

April’s Birthstone: Diamond

wearing-bella-earrings-sparkle-fashion-myjewellerystory-blog
Iconic to MYJS, our signature Bella Earrings exude a delicate fierceness to take you from the (home) office to special occasions – or even just over a cheeky wine in the kitchen.

Light up April with Diamonds, the stone of purity, perfection and invincible power. With stunning brilliance, illuminate the universe with treasures beyond measure for pure enlightenment while keeping bad energy and ill fortune at bay. You’re a diamond dear. They can’t break you. Our ethical non-mined sparkles are the stones of strength and courage, so embrace life and the sun to the fullest.

And shine splendidly, darling. Always.

MYJS Statement and Drop Carrier Earrings are designed to mix + match with MYJS Mix Charms for an endless variety of stunning statement earring combinations.

The results of natural upheaval, immense geological shifts, volcanic activity and the grinding down of mountains means gems and stones are imbued with the aura of magic; they are the silent white knights protecting our bodies and spirits across the centuries.

Climate change, politics and economic insecurity are all anxiety-inducing events eroding our armour, and it’s reasonable enough to seek sources of strength, comfort and meaning as powerful shields against daily life.

You’re a sparkly diamond dear, they can’t break you.

myjs-bella-earings-sparkle-jewellery-fashion-myjewellerystory-blog
MYJS Bella Earrings are not just a pair of earrings – they’re an attitude to life. 

Diamond and crystal jewellery are the little black dress of our jewellery box: they work for all occasions, add pop to every outfit without being too over the top and always appropriate. From intimate dinners to days by the pool or nights with the girls or the perfect masterdate (the art form of dating oneself), it’s about adding the perfect amount of razzle dazzle to your look.  

Legends emphasise how powerful sparkles are – how they are for winners, worn by kings, queens, movie stars and other fancy people. As the hardest substance on earth, the diamond is prided for its strength. And as its younger sister, the clear crystal brings a new sense of self-care for a new strength in spirituality of a modern magical style trend.

Big girls deserve big sparkles –

Elizabeth Taylor misquoted

Sparkly jewellery fashion

From Lady Gaga to Cate Blanchette, Ava Gardner, Lady Diana and more, sparkly jewellery fashion is stunning.

Diamonds and crystals are a comforting connection. They are true luxury: diamonds and clear crystals do not tolerate mediocrity and routine. And for this, a whole bunch of rules have been established across the centuries guiding when and how we wear our sparkles.

Tatler’s article ‘The Jewellery Rules’ which you can read >here, writes:

Diamonds, including diamond watches, are not for the daytime. You may only frost yourself after dusk, when the stones add lustre and twinkle to a woman’s eyes. Engagement rings are clearly exempt. And if you are so honkingly rich that you own a diamond hair clip, then we salute you and you may chuck it on whenever you like.

Sparkles are the perfect daily expression of our individuality and taste. They’re versatile when paired with favourite outfits or bought together with other pieces. Sparkles are also the ideal way to transition your look from laid-back daytime chic to drama and dazzle at night.

While historically diamonds and high-end jewellery are worn with formal attire, modern designs allow for simple clean pieces to be worn casually – whether from the gym or to office drinks.

Life won’t sparkle unless you do

Sparkle: it’s all in the attitude

There are two ways of wearing sparkles: Go delicate and timeless, or go bold and make a statement.

wearing-myjs-bella-collection-sparkle-jewellery-fashion-myjewellerystory-blog
Power through life with MYJS Sparkles – and illuminate the universe

If your style is creative, go flashy, bright and layered. You can never have enough bling.

If your style is classic, keep it simple.

Turn basic into stylish by popping on flashes of sparkles to change your mood.

Wear a messy bun with crystal studs or teardrop earrings for a relaxed, casual look.

wearing-bella-os-sparkle-fashion-myjewellerystory-blog
MYJS Bella O‘s add sparkle and pizzaz to any outfit so you shine for every occasion.

For the professional office, avoid large gems, bracelets, massive earrings and brooches in the professional office.

Focus on miniature and modest, where small and simple pieces give off the aura of stability and self-assurance without the need to call attention to yourself. Add elegance with delicate pieces such as classic studs, drop earrings, tennis bracelet or an elegant pendant that easily segue from office to evening wear.

If it’s a creative workplace, go large with as many sparkles as you can.

Leave a little sparkle wherever you go
