Let golden hour linger on with our four favourite autumnal style updates

Gold-loving-girls know balmy #goldenhour sunsets aren’t the only opportunity to glitter as we transition to the glow of autumn. 

And as the temperature changes and we start layering up our outfits, jewellery – specifically gold jewellery – and the easy, everyday splashes that the world’s most precious metal offers, proves time and time again to be timeless through every season. 

Here are our four favourite ways to glitter in gold as the cold draws in:

Hoop dreams:

There’s a reason the hoop is your first earring, it’s a classic style giving subtle attitude to anything you wear. Big or small, hoop earrings make a statement without being over the top and add an effortless sparkle that can be worn no matter the occasion—gym through to bar.

Our Better Hoop earrings aren’t only named so because they’re sustainably made, but along with being classic, contemporary and cool, these timeless designs have a better clip system to see you through everyday life with style and ease and are available in S, M and L sizing to suit any mood.

Go for gold: As much a fashion crutch as blue jeans and a white tee, pair your gold hoops with your favourite denim and a cosy knit this autumn.

Chain reaction:

Gold chunky chains are light-hearted when teamed with something simple like a black roll neck or a cosy sweater; and will add power to a little black dress in party season.

Make a bold statement and invest in our Big Chain Bracelet. With large links and double gold-plating, any outfit is rounded off with this timeless piece but it takes on a whole new twist when paired with the likes of our Rope and Minimalist gold bracelets.

Go for gold: Get playful and layer up your look for a full chain reaction. A stack around your wrist not only creates the most satisfying jingling sound, but perks up any outfit.

Put a (couple of) ring(s) on it!

Wearing more than one ring on a finger is a balancing act! Do they fit snugly on top of each other or do they add too much bulk? A simple gold band is a great starting point but better yet, opt for an already stacked multi-ring style that will do all the work for you.

Helping you to ‘strike gold’ when it comes to layering up your rings is our sleekly-set apart Through the Wire stack ring, an easy everyday piece with both rings resting in place thanks to its open design and adjustable size. 

Go for gold: Through the Wire is a comfortable companion for everyday wear and although no other rings are needed, it doesn’t mean they’re not welcome! We like to pair ours with our Dotty Gold ring, edging up any outfit and as good as gold through every season.

Brass neck:

A gold pendant is an easy way to wear something meaningful like your initials, or your zodiac sign, close to your heart. Long, linear necklaces with pendants or charms work with a casual autumn uniform of a black roll neck, dark denim and black boots; while pendants embellished with precious stones add elegance to an evening look.

We get a real ‘gold rush’ just looking at our Temple necklace, a vintage inspired ‘must-have’ gold chain with oval shaped pendant, accented with a cool black Onyx. The choice of stone makes this piece that little bit edgier, working with everything from your fail-safe leather jacket through to an autumnal prairie dress.

Go for gold: The best thing about a gold pendant is that there’s no need to wear just one. For a dramatic yet directional look, pair with the Rope Gold and Wild Heart Choker – and double up the drama by teaming with our Temple Ring.

Make a statement with these jewellery trends that stick silver on the summer menu

If you’re a sucker for silver then you’ll love these six swaps to update your jewellery look this summer. From nailing #NeckMess, blooming in flower power or toughening up your look with bold chains, these style tips will help you shine in silver ALL SUMMER LONG.

1. FLOWER POWER:

Floral jewellery is blooming everywhere you look this season, going from frumpy to fabulous thanks to cult British designers like Alex Monroe and Eliou making the case for flower power in their latest collections.

We at YAKAMOZZ have always known that life feels a little rosier with floral inspired pieces which is why we recommend you give your summer silver an instant update with our Fleur Silver Earrings. Perfect for all the wildflower women, these subtle little statement pieces are vintage inspired and accented with a filigree Onyx stone. Match with our Bliss Ring and team with both our Better Hoops and Embrace Ear Cuff in silver.

Silver swap: Switch your standard silver hoops out for a pair of our Fleur studs, which will look lovely with a chic updo

2. #NECKMESS:

Search this hashtag and almost 100,000 pics of necklines artfully adorned, stacked, and layered with collections of pendants, chains and chokers will dominate your feed – dotted with devotees of the ultimate clavicle stack – sharing their spins on this ‘thrown-together’ look.

Here we are no strangers to layering up our necklines and will be teaming our Wild Heart Drop Necklace, Wild Heart Choker and Figaro Choker and for a hot silver mess and a summer style update.

Silver swap: opt out of on necklace and make a statement by building your own #NeckMess look, combining as many silver necklaces in as many lengths, designs and metal tones, as your neckline will allow.

3. PUT A RING ON IT:

Nothing makes a mirror selfie pop quite like a statement ring and you can trust us – and Bella Hadid – on that! Just landed in our collection and ethically made in Bali, we’ll be reaching for the sun, moon and stars all summer in our new silver Trust Ring with moonstone.

Silver swap: Less is more, so instead of stacking up your rings, why not let your hands do the talking with just one signature silver piece this summer.

4. CHARMED I'M SURE:

Charms surface every summer and this year they’ve made the catwalk too.

Also just landed from Bali, we have plenty of little gems in our collection that will not only make your summer wardrobe current, but will see you through the years. Go misty-eyed for our silver Lunar Necklace with moonstone charm, or starve off the post summer blues with our silver Breeze Necklace with healing ocean hued Larimar stone.

Silver swap: For real charm this summer, move away from tried and tested sunset gold hues and make your pendants pop by choosing a silver chain instead.

5. SUMMER CRUSH:

Textured metal is the hottest way to update your silver wear this summer with twisted, crushed and matt finished looks reigning supreme.

For a grown-up gorgeous spin on a cool girl classic, pair our timeless knotted Rope necklace with Rope bracelet and go one step further by adding our Dotty ring.

Silver swap: Update shiny silver pieces with a textured variation for a look that will outlast even the hottest of summer crushes.

6. CHAIN REACTION:

With chainmail designs across Louis Vuitton and Chanel’s summer collections, this trend is showing no weak links. Directional, timeless and contemporary, we’re not going to pass on the chance to give our summer wardrobes one of the simplest, chicest updates with our silver Figaro choker and Baby Love Child bracelet.

Two cool girl classics, these timeless silver statements shouldn’t be missing from your jewellery collection; teamed perfectly together and coexisting with washed out denim, leather Jacket or to edge up evening wear.

Silver swap: Give effortless summer wear – think white vest and denim cut offs – an edgy update with a bold piece of chainmail silver wear.
