From rings and necklaces to bangles and earrings, these are the most eye-catching yet delicate trinkets to fall in love with right now
Minimalist or maximalist, every festive wardrobe should feature a roster of understated, unfussy yet refined jewellery pieces. Going low-key with your accessories doesn’t mean eliminating pieces, rather making your choices more thoughtful and intentional. Think designs that may look simple but speak, well, volumes. Often times a delicate necklace, an elegant pair of earrings or a fuss-free bangle has the potential to not just last beyond a special occasion, but also not bore you or break the bank. The best part is you can maximise its wearability by stacking them, layering them or simply sporting them as standalone statements for a tailor-made look each time you wear them.
