Jewellery becomes interesting when it becomes timeless
Much like the capsule wardrobe, a jewellery capsule is a curated collection of wearable, versatile, individual pieces you love: your essentials and go-to pieces. The capsule jewellery wardrobe has to be the epitome of luxury: as a limited selection of interchangeable classic pieces that complement each other, your jewellery box will never go out of style while allowing for different looks. Cultivating a timeless, fabulous everyday look doesn’t mean boring either: Follow our lead How To Build Your Capsule Jewellery Collection.
Inspired by the fierce glamour of halo jewellery’s bygone eras, the MYJS Angelic Collection presents timeless and unapologetically sparkly designs.
Your jewellery capsule nails the basics from a statement pair of earrings, necklace, ring and bracelet and built from there. They need to be pieces easily worn together or by themselves and depending on how you’re feeling. Take risks with your jewellery and go for a piece when it speaks to you.
Your jewellery capsule makes life easier, so don’t feel like your jewellery box needs to be immediately built. Finding your personal style is its own process and your capsule will look different from everyone else’s.

Capsule jewellery tips
Designed to mix + match with MYJS Mix Charms, Mix Hoops, Mix Statement Drop and Mix Stud Cluster earrings, the MYJS Mix Collection is the ultimate mini versatile jewellery designed to bring pop to the everyday.
Mix and match The key to any jewellery capsule is knowing how to style your pieces separately and together. Start with your vibe: are you a casual tshirt and jeans, or a dressy type? You can always combine or add more accessories once your collection is underway, but understanding who you are and what you like to wear is the foundation to the perfect capsule.
Learn to stack While you can really stack any type of jewellery, bracelets, and necklaces are usually the easiest pieces to double down on.
A bracelet stack is an easy way to add something unique. Mixing metals, textures, colours or designs can adds the next level to a classic staple such as a gold chain.
Necklaces work with multiple lengths, so some strategy is involved when building your capsule out. Start with a small link, add a thicker gauge chain – perhaps with a pendant and then graduate to a longer one. Stack different lengths so each necklace is in full view and adds something to your look.
Laughter is timeless, imagination has no age and dreams are forever

Necklaces

💖 Find different lengths and link styles that work for you.
💖 A personalised pendant or statement necklace piece serves as the finishing touch for a gala-type event or the cool factor to amplify a vintage tee.

💖 With its versatility and luxury, the classic tennis bracelet has just the right amount of sparkle. It looks great on its own or in its set with the Tennis Necklace, adding instant lift to a tee or an LBD.
💖 If bracelets or a stack of bangles don’t work for your lifestyle, a cool timepiece or vintage watch is a functional and fashionable alternative.
Earrings and rings are jewellery essentials because they can completely change you and work on everyone. Rings bring emotion and meaning into your jewellery collection so make sure they showcase your personal story and vibe.
💖 Apart from wearing the right size ring (so you don’t lose it), there are no rules for buying rings for your capsule collection. You just need to imagine wearing it regularly – or every day.
💖 Stacking rings add versatility to your jewellery and outfit. A statement cocktail ring is a large and bold choice, adding a powerful vibe to your look.

Her soul was topaz – you could see it in her eyes
The history of topaz
First used in Sanskrit as ‘topas’ or ‘tapaz’ for fire and derived from Egyptian island ‘Topazios’ – now St Johns Island or Zabargad Island near the Red Sea – topaz traditionally referred to any yellow gemstones.
In Ancient Egypt, topaz was believed to capture the glow of Sun-God and giver of life Ra, protecting the wearer from injuries while endowing them with great strength. Its golden hues were also linked with the Sun-God Apollo.
The gem of sunshine and happiness, the radiant crystal of Topaz Crystal Bella Earrings represents calming influence for inner peace.
In India, the word ‘topaz’ stood for heat, and Hindus believed it a scared stone for its protective, live-giving abilities. In Africa, healing rituals with topaz established communion with the spirit.
Topaz is mentioned in the bible with high-priest Aaron, as well as Revelations as one of the stones of the apocalypse. Ancient Romans credited topaz with preventing sickness, dispelling bad omens, healing poor vision and calming anger, promoting topaz as the symbol for uprightness and virtue.
Initially sourced from Zabargad during ancient times, it is now believed the yellow stones of this island was actually the lemon gemstone Citrine. The first genuine topaz was found in Germany in 1737. Worn by royalty and clergy during the middle ages through to the 1800s, topaz became more affordable and available once large deposits were discovered. During the 1800s, the Ural Mountains of Russia and Brazil became the first large sources of topaz. Today, South America remains the largest producer of topaz, where it is also mined in Australia, Germany, Italy, Scotland, Norway, Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan, Japan, Nigeria and the US.

As an opal changes its colours and its fire to match the nature of a day, so do I
– John Steinbeck
As the queen of the gems, the fragile opal has a complex personality and history. The symbolism of opals is as much of a kaleidoscope as the gemstone’s unique play of colour. The talisman of luck and magic, opal celebrates the birth month of October and 14 years of marriage.
As a mineral from millions of tiny amorphous silica spheres, the opal is distinctive with markings, its colourful flecks presenting a rainbow iridescent play of colours to showcase different patterns and hues in the light. The unique opalescence offers rainbow like flashes in a kaleidoscope of hues, and the symbolism attached to it makes it an intriguing and arresting gem. The opal takes on many shapes and hues, the rainbow colours of blue, red, yellow, green and purple exotic, poetic descriptions.
Join us as we deep dive into the wonderful world of iridescent opulence with Over The Rainbow: Opal Jewellery Fashion.
There are worlds in an opal
The history of opals
The luminous opal can be traced as far back to the Sanskrit word Upala meaning “precious stone”. It would evolve into the Greek derivative Opallis and Roman Opalus meaning “change of colour”.
In Greek mythology, opals were considered the tears of Zeus after the defeat of the titans. The opal was believed to give the gift of prophecy while protecting from disease.
The Indian virgin Goddess of the Rainbow was turned to opal by the Mother Goddess to protect her against the romantic advances of Indian Gods Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. Persians believed the stones fell from the sky, imbued by the flashes of lighting that bought them to earth.
The gem of femininity, innocence and sincerity, this soft and gentle crystal of Rose Water Opal Crystal Bella Earrings represent the endless strength of woman.
Following the plague, the gem became associated with the Black Death where stories stirred across Europe of a patient’s opal burning with colour losing its brilliance after their death. This narrative would be taken on by Sir Walter Scott’s novel Anne of Geuerstein.
Tragic main character Lady Hermoine is accused as a demoness and dying after a drop of holy water fell onto her opal, destroying its colour. The novel demonised the opal, with the opal market crashing within months of the book’s release.
The discovery of black opal from New South Wales in the 1870s some 50 years later would revive the market. Prince Albert would design many pieces for Queen Victoria with the Queen gifting her daughters the gems for their wedding.
The earth writes its memoir in each opal
The psychology of opals

The inner colours of opal attract the forces for good luck and protection, representing hope, innocence and purity, faithfulness and loyalty.
The opal has the reputation of amplifying traits for transformation. A stone for love and passion, opals release our inhibitions of seduction, desire and eroticism for sexual harmony.
As the protective gem for dangerous places, opals stand for justice and harmony, its inner play of dancing fire sparking dynamic creativity.
Symbolic to the eye, the opal is commonly associated with the imagination and the future. Bestowing the gift of unfailing vision, the stone is worn as a cure to eye diseases with powers to boost the mind and memory while detoxifying our kidneys and liver to improve our immunity. Opals seep into our energies, cleansing negativity from our mind, spirit, emotions and body.
Said to possess magical properties, the opal is the protector of thieves and spies, rendering the wearer invisible – as a sparklier version of Harry’s Cloak of Invisibility. The darkness and depth of opals set in wands increased the powers of magicians and sorcerers.
Opals and fashion
Featuring with fashion houses such as Balmain, Dior and Cartier and others across the last decade, opals seamlessly fit into our everyday collection while bringing a magical charm to our look.
While iridescence and reticulation seems to fit better in the world of party decorations, rulers, discos and rave gear, shine will always have its moment. Iridescence celebrates all things that shimmer and glow. The pearly, glossy, shimmery unicorn colour story is playful, sleek and edgy – all at once. While we are unlikely to add full length reticulated coats and entire iridescent outfits to our everyday wardrobe, splashes of the sheen will add instant intrigue to our style.
Opals love fashion, blending in easily to our everyday look with an edge of intrigue. Simultaneously bold and delicate, opals instantly add special flair with its subtle flashing hues and unique shine. The simplicity and minimalism of opals especially love the office and special occasions, elevating casual style easily.

The Greeks cherished sapphires when seeking answers from the oracle while inscribing sapphires with the head of Zeus, as the god of the heavens claiming his pinnacle of power. Tibetan Buddhists and Hindus sought the gemstone for spiritual enlightenment to facilitate their devotion to prayer and meditation.
Hebrew kings cherished sapphire’s powers of protection in their ecclesiastical rings – King Solomon’s seal was an inscribed sapphire as a testament to his power over the spirits in the sky, earth and underworld. The colour for the virgin Madonna, Helen of Troy was also reputed to own a large star sapphire – which may have added to her enormous charm. Persian kings wore sapphires as protection from malice and bad health while sailors believed sapphires offered protection for a safe and prosperous passage.
Reflecting both the sea and the sky, embrace open spaces, freedom and intuition with the vitality of health and hope.

Synonymous to icons and royalty, they are opulent and eclectic – but always luxurious with a unique charm. From as long ago as 2300 BC, pearls were presented as royal gifts and seen as the ultimate status symbol. In 1BC, Julius Caesar passed a law limiting pearls only to the ruling class.
With an abundance of pearls readily available from the Persian Gulf, Arabs believed pearls were the tears of Gods while the ancient Greeks believed they were the tears of Aphrodite. The Pearly Gates refer to heaven’s gates with Hindi god Krishna bestowing pearls to his wife for their wedding. In Ancient China, pearls were a symbol of purity, while knights during the Crusades wore them into battle as amulets of protection.
The passion for pearls launched Spanish armadas to the Mexican gulf and the British to Australia. They are nature’s greatest miracles: starting out as an irritant – such as a particle of shell or parasite – to the oyster, the pearl’s formation comes from the oyster secreting nacre to build up and form the famous moon white gemstone. With cultured pearls, freshwater pearls, lucite and glass coming onboard as modern additions to pearl fashion across the last century, pearls always retain their relevance.

Pearl fashion
The silent uniform for strong women and the aristocratic badge of fashion-forward men, these gemstones effortlessly stand between tradition and evolution. As the pinnacle of feminine power, the pearl is the protector, attracting good luck and wealth.
Timeless yet modern, reclaim pearls for their moment in the sun. Because we should always be two things: classy and fabulous. The world is your oyster, and you are the pearl: so be the pearl, the queen of gems and the gem of all queens.
Pearls are all about attitude and how you pair them.

Brilliant green emerald jewellery fashion
Richly ravishing and radiant, Emeralds are show stopping. As the hardest stone after diamond, their striking brilliance has inspired the Emerald cut, designed for maximum vividness, luxury and shine.
Coordinate with peach, aubergine, rose, pink or purple for a brilliant backdrop to showcase the green of your emerald jewellery.
Dress up jeans, tee and a blazer with emeralds to go from casual office Fridays to end of week drinks easily.
Keep makeup neutral or smokey to enhance the rich green of sparkly emeralds.
In your everyday, choose simple looks and clean lines with neutral colours. The contrast in colours brilliantly brings out the green tones for a subtle pop of brilliance. While still beautiful, patterns and details designs won’t showcase emerald in its best light, drowning out its distinctive beauty.
Scoop necklines are perfect for showcasing emerald studs or drop earrings.
A special occasion always calls for special jewels. Emerald green jewellery fashion deserves to stand out with intricate design and added sparkle for a real statement. As statement pieces, we can celebrate emeralds in envious style.
Choose a standout piece and build around it with smaller, more simpler designs to balance the look.
Opt for figure hugging silhouettes to allow emeralds to shine. Statement necklaces work best against low cut necklines, while emerald rings are beautiful when paired with sleek elegant short-sleeve and halter neck outfits.
If adding wrist twinkles, either go all the way with a matching bracelet or pare back and go simple.
