Create your very own Capsule Jewellery Wardrobe.

In recent years, creating a ‘capsule wardrobe’ has become a popular dialogue in the blog/YouTube/digital sphere. Driven by the desire to avoid ‘fast fashion’ and de-clutter our lives. We are increasingly foregoing throwaway fashion and instead of developing capsule collections of quality (though still not bank-breaking) pieces. This is about selectively building a collection that you can use day in and day out and the same can be said for your capsule jewellery wardrobe.

Introduction on how to create your capsule jewellery wardobe .

The idea of a capsule wardrobe is a small selection of quality items you can wear out for any occasion. Whether applied to your wardrobe, jewellery box or makeup kit. It can help you hone your taste, simplify your morning routine, and avoid clutter.

Developing your own curated jewellery collection.

Instead of buying en-masse once more, you can work on developing a capsule jewellery collection. We like to build a mix and match collection of items from heirlooms, vintage finds and new purchases. But there’s no right and wrong here; a capsule collection will be unique to us all. It is about investing in pieces you totally LOVE and enjoy wearing day in and day out.

  • Base Metal Colour

When creating your capsule collection, you will want to choose your base metal colour so you can develop a cohesive collection. This makes it easier for you to find pieces that will work well together. However, if you’re someone who likes to mix and match your metals – go for it. This is, after all, your collection to create.

  • One Piece Per Category

When you’re building your jewellery wardrobe collection. It will be helpful to start with one piece per ‘category’ a bracelet, pendant, ring or set of earrings. Once you have your ‘base set’ of pieces, you can then choose to add new items from there. In terms of the ‘starter pieces’ for your collection, we recommend investing in classic items first.

Start your Capsule Jewellery Wardrobe with these essential items.

Stacking Bangles – To start with, they are both statement pieces alone but complement additional bracelets as you build your collection.

Chain Necklace – A perfect necklace to act as your base; you can choose the length of your chain and it is perfect for layering.

Simple Studs – When it comes to earrings, you can’t live without a simple pair of studs. With our large collection for everyday wear – we recommend our minimalist Stud as an everyday go-to.

Pair of Hoops – Day or night they bring with them a slightly louder vibe than the more conservative stud earring. They are still equal parts classic and statement-making, depending on how large you go.

Stacking Rings – As for rings, you are spoilt for choice, but we suggest starting your collection with a stacking ring. Easy to mix and match every day.
