Shiny Jewellery for Christmas
Shiny Jewellery for Christmas
The Christmas season is approaching and we are all slowly getting into the festive mood. Christmas and New Year's Eve celebrations, whether we are invited to a glamorous party or celebrate at home with family and friends, are always a good excuse to dress up and treat ourselves. Jewellery will complete your look and add that much needed sparkle for the festive season.  Jewellery suggestions to shine at the parties! Chunky chains Chunky chains are a trend that we've seen everywhere, on haute couture runways, on Instagram, and even in advertisements for well-known clothing brands. We love them because they can add intensity and sparkle to a simple and minimal look, and can be an affordable option.  TipsTo show off the chain around your neck, you can pair it with a V-neck shirt or blouse. Rich Passion necklace with silver 925 Statement necklace Like chains, statement necklaces are usually chunky and bold and can ideally accompany a minimal outfit. The options are many, such as boho, rock, bold etc. You can choose the style that will best suit your outfit aesthetic. Tips If you wear an oversized necklace, pair it with a ring rather than earrings. If your necklace is long enough, prefer to wear it over a monochrome dress or turtleneck. Necklace by UTOPIA with diamonds and pearls Pearls Pearls are synonymous with elegance and classic style. In recent years, however, fashion trends have established a modern and fresh version that can be combined with a casual and evening look, and can be worn by all ages. Ring Maritima Pearls Jewellery Necklace Maritima Pearls Jewellery Earrings Maritima Pearls Jewellery Discover Maritima Pearls, the pearl collection of KALFIDIS Jewellery.(link) Gold chain with pendant Pendants are a trend that is here to stay. It is a piece of jewellery that can be worn either on its own or in combination with other necklaces in different lengths. Tips Choose a pendant with colour and sparkle for your reverie. Even if it's the only piece of jewellery you wear, this detail will make a difference, adding a festive mood to your look. See more pendants in our e-shop. Long earrings Long earrings with precious stones are a piece of jewellery that we don't easily choose for our everyday looks. Christmas Eve is a good occasion to wear them. Tips The options are many, but the rule of thumb is one. Bold statement earrings, whether they are Chandelier or Dalida type earrings, should not be paired with necklaces. If you absolutely want to add another piece of jewellery, go for a ring or bracelet. Brumani earrings Rich Passion earrings Marco Bicego earrings See more suggestions. Ring with coloured precious stone Choose a ring with bright colour and shine. Choose the colour and size to match your outfit and other accessories.

The flower of life: Wishes for the new year with the 2022 charm
The flower of life: Wishes for the new year with the 2022 charm
This year's charm is inspired by the Flower of Life. We made a keychain with this motif and give it to our customers with wishes for the new year. It is a symbol that has been loved by the jewellery industry and is associated with many interpretations and different cultures. Its shape and its special symbolism make it an ideal choice for a gift to your loved ones, with wishes for creation, prosperity and harmony. The Story The Flower of Life is a fascinating ancient symbol found in various cultures and parts of the world. Its design resembles a flower and its shape resembles a hexagon, consisting of a grid of overlapping circles. It is also referred to as one of the shapes of sacred geometry that reveals the secret codes of the Universe. Patterns of seven overlapping circles appear on historical artefacts from the 7th century BC onwards. They are known as decorative elements in the Roman Empire period and survive in medieval artistic traditions, both in Islamic and Gothic art. The name Flower of Life is given very recently, however, in the 1990s, and is associated with the New Age movement. The Flower of Life and Leonardo da Vinci The Flower of Life and its mathematical properties were also studied by Leonardo da Vinci, who is considered to have been a lover of geometry. He painted the Flower of Life itself, as well as its various components, such as the Seed of Life. Historians believe that Da Vinci's famous Vitruvian Man was designed, at least in part, based on the Flower of Life symbol. The design incorporates a square overlapping a circle. The Flower of Life symbol, as the basis for the design, shows that the proportions of humans are in harmony with the building blocks of the universe. Flower of Life and Symbolism The Flower of Life represents the cycle of creation. The circle in the middle of the motif symbolizes how all life comes from a single source. The circles refer to the importance of the unity of all things in order to form a complex world. It is considered to be one of the sacred patterns of the universe, a kind of blueprint for all life, encompassing the fundamental patterns for everything from atoms to planets and everything in between.The Flower of Life reminds us to live our lives in harmony and tranquility and is an excellent meditation tool.

PICTO Ocean Ghost Net: It's time for sustainability
PICTO Ocean Ghost Net: It's time for sustainability
Introducing Ocean Ghost Net, the new collection of watches made from recycled materials by Danish watch company PICTO. PICTO's innovative new range is based on the use of sustainable materials and uses Ghost Nets from our seas as the main construction material, thus contributing to the reduction of marine pollution and the protection of marine mammals. Ghost nets are fishing nets that are either carried away by currents or abandoned and remain in the water for decades, accounting for up to 40% of marine plastic pollution. The nets can trap various marine animals and have a serious impact on aquatic ecosystems. The design of the new collection remains true to PICTO's history and aesthetics. The case of the new watches is made of recycled fishing nets from the oceans, while the straps are made of 100% recycled plastic.  As PICTO says, the Ocean Ghost Net project is a small step towards sustainability, but with the ambitious goal that the watches in the collection will be a daily reminder for us all to contribute to protecting the environment.
