Designer chic transforms boho jewellery

Chic boho jewellery to really turn heads

Love the boho look and boho jewellery but over the same old, same old? Okay, so we loved boho in the 1970s, the 1990s, the 2000s, but feeling it’s really time for boho to embrace a new vibe relevant to contemporary fashion? Well say hello to the world of artisan and designer handmade and exclusive boho jewellery created by gifted craftspeople and fashion maestros working at the leading edge of fashion.

Breaking boundaries - unique boho jewellery

If you’ve always thought of boho jewellery as a go-festival-then-throw away style, you’re going to blown away by the new generation of this ever popular style. In the hands of designers and artisans, premium boho has become a stunning high-end and exclusive accessory that would not be out of place at the classiest red carpet event.

The spirit of boho is alive and well, but it's come a long way from its festival ethnic and tribal roots. The term boho is simply an abbreviation of the term bohemian, essentially embracing the unconventional, the artistic, the provocative and the unique. Boho jewellery provides a very broad canvas for pushing fashion boundaries, and has been the playground for creators to play with the ideas beloved by fashionistas and It Girls who dominate Instagram posts and always stand out in any crowd. So the bohemian spirit lives on...always provocative, always unique, always at the leading edge of fashion.

Scene stealing artisan boho jewellery for any occasion

While standout designer boho jewellery has dominated the catwalks, for most of us it's something best kept for those special red-carpet moments. A more versatile solution is the current crop of artisan pieces being produced by artisans working with boho as a starting point, but creating pieces that are edgy and incredibly versatile. 

Dare to be different - you might find it to be addictive!

It's always a big step to move out of your fashion comfort zone. Sometimes it feels a lot easier just to blend in with the crowd. A simple way to start is with your jewellery and accessories, rather than leaping into a standout designer outfit. Baby steps! Start looking for and investing in unique artisan and designer boho jewellery pieces. These days, boho pretty much encompasses accessories that are not found mass-produced pieces found in department stores. They are usually limited edition pieces created by designers and artisans for those special girls often labelled as muses, A-listers or fashionistas.

Are you tempted to make the move to the being the girl who always gets a second glance? Go on, be brave, and channel your inner rebel. It can be a very addictive experience.

From one-off statement necklaces to edgy pendants...

Here are three examples of the new generation of designer boho jewellery ranging from the OMG statement necklace to more minimalist interpretations you can wear to any occasion and with any outfit in your wardrobe. Thinking styling these with jeans and t-shirts, or a stunning LBD with a leopard coat slung over your shoulder.
