Having launched her brand 11 years ago, Svedbom has established her firm position in the industry, pleasing us regularly with more and more exciting projects – just this year, made a major contribution to the Swedish Elle-Galan 2024, not only having designed custom jewellery for some of the noble guests, and installing her Crystal Bar with live jewellery-making by @yuri_tsomados, but also – or actually most importantly – showcasing her breathtaking Front Row Collection. The collection felt pure royal and extremely luxurious, with the densely crystal-encrusted chokers and long, princess-like earrings. Voir was more than excited to be invited to Caroline’s studio and to find ourselves literally in the front row, marvelling at all those shiny wonders by Svedbom.

Svedbom’s jewellery is fully handmade, and the nickel, gold, and rhodium used in the process are of superior quality, and regularly tested. You can see Caroline’s absolute devotion to her work, as at some point of guiding us through her factory and talking us through the manufacturing processes, she sits down with the other craftsmen to try one bracelet on herself. 

The glittering crystals, which are in countless boxes and drawers all over the studio, end up being used for glamorous necklaces, bracelets, rings, and earrings, appearing regularly in various collections, including those for men and children.

During the 34th Athens Fashion Week, Svedbom had a chance to present her SS24 collection, with mesmerising green crystals that immediately caught our attention.

In Svedbom’s design, grand colourful or transparent crystals usually play the main role, presenting an abundance of deep colours and glimmering surfaces. But there are also more delicate items, with pearls or minimalistic crystals, as in the latest Resort Collection that dropped on April 25th. You can easily spot Mediterranean summer inspirations there, with minimalistic golden shells, flowers, turtles, delicate chains, and sea-blue crystals.

The Resort Collection comes as a subtle counterweight to the rich and all-shiny Front Row Collection, which preceded it. But at the same time, it still feels most royal and feminine, paying tribute to the Mediterranean heritage and bringing majestic Greek goddesses to mind – after all, we’re still in the Athens FW mood.

Greece has clearly inspired Svedbom in various ways over the years. She’s been involved in different projects, from bridal collections to letter necklaces and even designing vegan leather organisers – but whatever the collection, the Greek culture and landscapes have always been at the very centre. And we just cannot wait to see what other inspirations still wait there for Caroline to be discovered and made into glittering pieces of art.

The Harris Reed x Missoma collection is now available at Selfridges Manchester and Missoma online! Returning from London Fashion Week as one of the most talked-about designers, Harris Reed is entering into the jewellery space in collaboration with London-based brand, Missoma. Spotted during the celebrated Harris Reed show, pieces from the collection were incorporated into the elaborate couture fantasy.

Launching this month, the 49-piece demi-fine collection and 15-piece fine capsule reconsiders Gothic heirlooms and vintage trinkets to become pieces of fluidity and inclusivity. As a gender-fluid fashion designer, Reed wanted to create a collection inspired for everyone. Initially, this idea manifested itself in the dual-gender butterfly – a symbol of fluidity, rebirth, and freedom. The demi-fine pieces are crafted from recycled sterling silver, recycled 18ct gold vermeil and gold plating. The collection’s fine jewellery is refined in 14ct solid recycled gold, blue sapphire and conflict-free white and black diamonds.

​”This is my way of being able to give everyone a little bit of the Harris Reed fantasy”, Harris Reed.

The opulence and excitement present in Harris Reed’s designs transfer to the beautiful collection. Heavy stones, delicate pearls, mindful details, fluidity, symbolism and alluring simplicity are sprinkled across the collection. The array of styles and designs across earrings, necklaces, rings and bracelets ensures there is a product for everyone which can be easily worn as part of an abundance of heavy, layered pieces, or worn more delicately as an individual, single piece.

Missoma’s CEO and creative director, Marisa Hordern, explains ‘this collection is all about acceptance and inclusivity through our deeply symbolic pieces, given the romantic opulence and gothic chic that comes with all things Harris.’ Harris Reed also explains his role in making the collection a more accessible aspect of dreamy couture gowns: ‘as a designer who mostly works with demi-couture and VIP clients, not everyone can buy a Harris Reed gown. But they can have a Harris Reed x Missoma gold necklace or ring to keep for years and years to come. This is my way of being able to give everyone a little bit of the Harris Reed fantasy.’

Chain jewellery has undoubtedly been the most popularized trend of 2021. From chunky necklaces and bracelets to anklets and bag handles, chains appear to be everywhere, and they keep getting thicker. From the iconic and timeless Tiffany & Co necklaces that became extremely popular in the 2000’s to Bottega Veneta’s chain bag handles that are ubiquitously dominating the market, wearing chunky jewellery has truly a charm that never fades away, and the trend is only getting bigger. Chains are the embodiment of eternity, of eternal love, and traditionally only the rich could afford thicker gold chains. The interlocking structures allude to a symbiotic relationship between the self and others, a signal of connection and of a confident presence. Allegedly, the thicker the chains are, the stronger the power you emanate.

BOTTEGA VENETA

Starting with the buzziest signature bag in fashion, seen on every it-girl on Instagram, the Bottega Veneta Chain Cassette bag features a stunning gold metal chain that is a dream to look at. It is the catalyst trend that revamped our obsession with chunky jewellery, and the ultimate luxury accessory.

It’s easy to tell that many brands are inspired by this aesthetic, but Bottega isn’t the first the incorporate gold metal chunky accents to their accessories. Cuban link chains were a product of the 1970s hip-hop scene, born originally in Miami. Our love for the 70’s has seen a resurgence in recent collections across major catwalks, and Cuban links are no exception. These are our favourite timeless pieces:

TIFFANY & CO. graduated link necklace

This stunning gold necklace is as elegant as they get, and it is the perfect balance between sophistication and chunkiness, making it a perfect signature accessory.

CELINE Curb Link Bracelet

Celine’s is not a brand typically associated to jewellery, surprisingly, as this showstopping but still very wearable bracelet is definitely affordable. It is the perfect “icy” accessory, but on a budget, and we are totally obsessed!


BOTTEGA VENETA Braided Chain Necklace w/ Sphere

LAURA LOMBARDI Luisa Gold-plated Necklace

For everyone who’s nostalgic of the 2000’s, this necklace might just be what you didn’t think you needed, and this brand completely encapsulates the elegance of the original Tiffany & Co design whilst giving it a new, fresh revamp for 2021.

VERSACE Varnished Medusa Charm Necklace

Versace truly comes close to perfection when it comes to their creative designs. Nonetheless, this necklace feels very wearable and sophisticated at the same time, and at a reasonable price point too.

PACO RABANNE XL Link Necklace

Last but not least, Paco Rabanne’s FW21 jewellery collection is simply divine, and we can’t take our eyes off of this magnificent creation.

Lockdown 2.0 is starting to feel all the more familiar. The faint smell of banana bread lingers through the air, our Zoom accounts have been reactivated and our work-from-home jogging bottoms are back in rotation. After experiencing a glimpse of normality over Autumn time, we refuse to revert to our old ways. Re-discovering our closets after the first Lockdown was a joyous occasion but just because we are putting away our fancier going-out clothes for the next few weeks, doesn’t mean we have to compromise on everything. No more refusing to put our cameras on during work meetings or cringing when we see our reflection in the tiny box at the bottom of the laptop screen.

This time around, experimenting with jewellery is a quick and easy way to feel a little more put together without needing to rock a cocktail dress in the living-room. Here is your easy guide to styling necklaces in Lockdown #2 which will convince friends and co-workers alike that you have your stuff together this month. (Spoiler: none of us do.)

Start Simple

Sometimes the simplest pieces are the most powerful.

Initially, layering necklaces may seem daunting but it needn’t be overwhelming. Start with delicate pieces like a dainty chain or a single pendant. Just like styling clothes, there are some universal basics that everyone should have in their collection; a classic rope chain is a timeless piece and a great starting point for layering beginners.

When scrolling through the Missoma website, you may have to fight the urge to put everything in your shopping basket all at once but the Gold Catena Chain is a nice place to start and can also be jazzed up later by adding a personalised charm or a pendant.

Create Space

A layered look should feel effortlessly stylish and nothing ruins the vibe more than a mess of twisted, tangled chains. When creating a layering masterpiece, make sure all your chosen necklaces have enough space between them and adjust the lengths where needed. Perhaps, try a longer chain or a modern choker to add dimension and variety.

Still in a twist? The Orelia Layered Necklace Separator is an ingenious little tool designed to keep chains tangle-free.

Picking Pendants

Selecting pendants offers a great opportunity to showcase your personality.

Wearing a unique pendant is sure to be a conversation starter in weekly zoom meetings. Why not celebrate the female form with the Daisy Vita necklace or dive into their Isla collection for stunning sea-inspired treasures like the Large Shell Necklace.

Meaningful pendants make beautiful Christmas gifts or, a well-deserved treat after surviving yet another 4 weeks in isolation. Mejuri‘s Boyfriend Necklace something simple but very meaningful, with a thin gold chain and gold pendant, it’s a perfect necklace for layering.

When it comes to selecting jewels and pendants, size matters. Make sure to mix and match both small and larger pendants on different chains for a fun and novel look.

Trust the Experts

After all, they do know what they are on about. The experts at Missoma have developed a fool-proof formula for layering and styling necklaces. They say to start with a base chain, then contrast with texture and finally add a third that creates focus with length. The Missoma Layering Lab is an interactive try-before-you-buy simulator where customers can experiment with different styles and combinations before committing to a purchase – a great spot for anyone practicing to become a layering guru.

Ruth Bewsey, Creative Director of Daisy Jewellery says, “when styling same metal necklaces, start with your smallest pendant on the shortest length that feels comfortable. Wear the bigger necklace on the longest length.”

Buy an All-in-One Piece

If you are still feeling a little overwhelmed, then take all the stress out of layering all together by purchasing a multi-chain necklace. These pre-layered savors require little effort and are widely available at affordable prices.
