Boho festival jewellery conquers the fashion world
If you ever thought boho festival jewellery was only for Coachella, the Byron Bay International Fashion Festival, or other music and lifestyle events, look again. Boho jewellery, once relegated to 'festival jewellery' section of your wardrobe, has taken to the streets, featuring on catwalks and in the collections of major fashion houses as must-have 'wear anywhere' jewellery.

It's official! Once the favourite of festival girls and bohemians, boho festival jewellery has become mainstream. The latest style of festival jewellery you'd wear to your local music event looks just as great with your t-shirt and jeans, your flowing white wrap-dress, and even your LBD.
The key to its success is that boho jewellery is incredibly versatile. It embraces everything from gypsy styles, ethnic pieces, tribal jewellery and unique artisan jewellery. It can be lush or it can be minimalist. It can be casual and it can be formal. Still ruling the festivals, boho jewellery is definitely taking over the streets.

Look at a list of your favourite outlets and you'll find 'Festival jewellery and clothing' as the current must-have look. The exclusive outlet Revolve just announced "Festival's Greatest Hits', Urban Outfitters promoted 'This is how we do 70s boho', and 'Boho chic style from See by Chloe' is heavily publicisied by Yoox. And the list goes on...
But the festival is the undisputed home where boho jewellery has flourished for the last few decades. Creative and alternative festival jewellery of all styles dominate. Every boho jewellery look from gypsy to ethnic can be found at a festival - and some variations you've never even thought of.
