This gold plated sterling silver ring had the plating removed to show the solid sterling silver underneath.

New again – renewed beauty
Quality jewellery that’s plated in rhodium, gold or sterling silver can be refinished. Plating can be removed from some designs to show the sterling silver or gold underneath. If you’re piece is made of brass and plated then it can be replated in white rhodium, black rhodium, yellow gold, rose gold or sterling silver.

The ring shown on the left was a 14k gold plated sterling silver puzzle ring. I removed the plating and polished it to show it’s original beauty.

This years jewellery trends are in full swing for spring! One of the biggest new trends this year is the renewed popularity of gold. Since the price of gold has been lower it’s become more accessible. Welcome back gold! We missed you.

1. Black and White
It’s a classic look and this year it has big time appeal. You can go either rockstar chic or 40’s Hollywood glamour. You’ll find jewellery made with silver and oxidized silver, or platinum with jet black rhodium, or gold with jet black rhodium plating.

2. Feminine silhouettes
Spring is a time when you see more feminine shapes, fabrics, and colours than any other time of the year. Florals, ruffles, fringe, celestial shapes, and curves gives jewellery the softness to co-ordinates well with ladylike styles.

Delicate yet strong. These light and airy unique chainmaille earrings are warm and feminine. They have dainty details without being fussy.

3. Delicate in Gold 
Spring and Summer is seeing trends in warm delicate pieces over cooler large bold statement pieces. The richness of gold adds warmth and sweetness to pieces. Since they’re visually and physically lighter the daintiness of delicate pieces makes them excellent for hot summer days and traveling light.

4. Layering and stacking
It’s been on trend for a few years now and there’s no sign of it letting up. Layering and stacking is just simply an enjoyable way to be creative with your favourite pieces. It’s an art form really – to layer it well and decide what sizes and shapes work best for you or the outfit you’re wearing.

5. Asymmetry
From cluster designs to mismatched earrings – asymmetry is fun and hip. Let yourself go and be creative! Asymmetry allows you to do your own thing and show your individuality. Keep it simple and somewhat minimalist when your accessorizing to keep it chic and sophisticated.

Fun and Creativity
One of the greatest things about jewellery is that it gives you the freedom to be experimental and artistic. You don’t need to be that courageous to express your authentic self.
