The Goth, the bold, and the beautiful

In line with the 08 catwalk shows, Rock Goth is the theme for the latest offering from Silver Service Jewellery. This whimsical collection of rings, bangles, earrings and chains – in the form of bold Crosses, Serpents and Skulls – is made from solid silver, diamante and pearls. Mix the charms – romantic, edgy and ‘dark’ - and pile them high on multi-layered chains for a look that is pure ‘shock and awe’ chic.

Buy a ticket to heaven with chunky Keys, Crosses – some studded with perfect freshwater pearls – and silver and carved bone Angels Wings (in three sizes with prices scaled accordingly). For the more devilish, there are bone, horn and diamante studded Damien Hirst style Skulls (as charms, earrings and rings) and ornate ‘Crowns’.

In silver, brass, solon wood and turquoise-dyed and pink coral, the Horns also come with clips that enable them to be attached to chains or bracelets. Wear these on their own for simplicity’s sake or layer with Skulls, Serpents, Hearts, Angels, Guitars, Crosses, Nautical pieces, Fleur de Lis and Wings. For real impact (and to emphasise the ‘good witch/bad witch’ side of our personalities) contrast the ‘darker’ Goth pieces with Angelic charms and wear on a multitude of heavy Chains in a variety of lengths and links. Worn singly or en masse, this look works like a charm whether in the city or on the beach.

Chunky chain Bracelets and simple silver Bangles are pieces that will never date and are accessory essentials designed to dress up any wardrobe – long term affordable investments.

Time spent travelling in the far East and a cosmopolitan upbringing have strongly influenced the work of young jewellery designer Tilly Sveaas and her eclectic collection of affordable pieces, branded with her unique Silver Service logo. Only hallmarked sterling silver, the finest cultured freshwater pearls, and sustainable coral and wood are used. All items are available from the Silverservicejewellery.co.uk site.
