Break the rules, find your style
Title:then switch it up
Subtitle:Ready to own your style? Mix things up? Have some fun and let your jewellery elevate your look? We dive into three jewellery rules – and how our exclusive SCS Elegance of Africa Pendant set can help you break them to your best advantage…
Rule 1: Like with like
Classic shapes should be combined with classic outfits. A traditional pendant is best worn over traditional cuts, in a similar colour palette. Those are the rules.
We disagree. Wholeheartedly. While a classic shape, such as the emerald step cut of the SCS Elegance of Africa Pendant, does look stunning with a little black dress, it’s a lot more fun to be daring. Especially considering that the exclusive SCS Elegance of Africa Pendant is reversible. One side is an opaque White Opal crystal, which reflects an array of blues, yellows, pinks and whites when light hits its surface, while the other is a Light Topaz crystal, with warm, amber tones. In other words, two different ways to experiment with colour. Take advantage and look to outfits with a modern edge in unconventional patterns. Athleisure? Sure, why not? Rules are there to be broken; the word of the day is play. Hint: Juxtapose the pendant’s classic shape with asymmetric pieces, masculine or athletic cuts, bold patterns and strong contrasts.
Rule 2: Keep it simple
Don’t overdo things. A pendant is beautiful as a regal stand-alone piece. Let it sit on your bare decoltage – demure, subtle and elegant.
Absolutely not! Opting for a reserved look is great, but we say layer it up. The SCS Elegance of Africa Pendant Set comes with two pieces – a crystal pendant and a magnifying glass (more on the origin story of this later). It was designed specifically to create a layered look, which means you can easily add interest to even the most casual outfit. Want to take it up a notch? When it comes to jewellery, we say more is more. Play with shape, colour and length to turn your look into a showpiece. Hint: Take a gander at the Millenia Family, keep a bare decoltage or pick a single block colour, and let your jewellery take the spotlight.
Rule 3: Don’t play with your jewellery
Sparkly jewellery belongs to the night. Put it on. Leave it alone. Let it twinkle but don’t touch it. Let people quietly admire it.
Nonsense! Once in a while it’s fun to be playful and interactive. Which is why the exclusive SCS Elegance of Africa Pendant Set comes with a tiny-but-mighty, fully functioning magnifying glass. The special piece was created to honour the 35th anniversary of the SCS. The pendant has the anniversary date (1987-2022) discretely engraved on it, invisible to the naked eye. A secret for your eyes only. You can use the magnifying glass to find it or just to admire the mastery of the cut and refraction of the colours, up close. Hint: Wear it day or night. Style doesn’t have a curfew.
Een magnifiek geschenk
Title:Als we het over het vergrootglas hebben, dat onderdeel uitmaakt van de exclusieve SCS Elegance of Africa hangerset, kunnen we zonder twijfel zeggen dat het de eerste in zijn soort is. Het is niet alleen een schitterend sieraad, maar kan ook gebruikt worden om een geheim te onthullen: de subtiel gegraveerde SCS jubileumdatum op de hanger.
Hierdoor is het niet alleen een gepast eerbetoon aan het 35-jarige jubileum van de Swarovski Crystal Society en al onze fantastische leden, maar ook een prachtig en uniek geschenk voor dierbaren. Door het zachte kleurenpalet van de SCS Elegance of Africa hangerset en het design dat aan twee kanten gedragen kan worden, past het sieraad bij verschillende looks (en verschillende persoonlijke stijlen) en steelt de drager direct de show. Tijdloos en toch modern; een sieraad om jarenlang te dragen.
