Wearing a little black dress?
A little black dress is a wardrobe essential. A genre that defies categorisation, little black dresses range from long-sleeved bodycon styles to demure designs with full skirts and sweetheart necklines. Dress them up or down – pair with heels for instant elevation, or slip on your favourite trainers and a leather jacket to exude punk attitude.
Jewellery for a Little Black Dress
When styling jewellery with a little black dress, get creative and play with proportions. Oversized silhouettes bring balance to your look – think a statement chain-link choker or crystallised pendant. Focus on shape by choosing rhodium plated pieces adorned with jet black Swarovski Crystals, or contrast colours by adding a pop of pink or vivid blue.
Wearing a Black Cocktail Dress?
A black cocktail dress is a quintessentially elegant choice for any kind of special event. Find a style that flatters your figure, cocktail cuts range from empire and A-line to slip and wrap dresses. The length is up to you. A floor-length black cocktail dress never fails to bring the drama, while a midi cut comes with vintage appeal.

Wearing a Strapless Black Dress?
A strapless black dress offers a contemporary take on the classic little black dress. A more daring alternative, strapless styles leave your décolletage exposed. Fill this space with jewellery or challenge convention by swapping your chokers and necklaces in favour of extravagant chandelier earrings and mixed metal bracelets.

A strapless dress provides the perfect blank space for jewellery. Amplify your natural glow with pavé clear crystals and warm gold-tone hardware, presented in interlocked chokers, spiralling hoops and stacking rings. Whether opting for maximal or minimalist styling, selecting jewellery for a strapless black dress is sure to inspire your imagination.
Wearing a Black Bridesmaid Dress?
Black bridesmaid dresses make for impactful wedding attire even though they are not the most conventional choice. If the bride is wearing white, bridesmaids in black dresses create a striking visual aesthetic and dial up the impact for her. Select matching styles or invite your bridesmaids to choose their own jewellery for black bridesmaid dresses. Anything goes – just make it black.

Wearing a Black Graduation Ball Dress?
