Bracelets, Bangles & Cuffs: The Edit

Summer is upon us, and tis undeniably the season for bracelets, what with all those bare tanned arms on display.   Here are our picks from the Gilda’s Tryst summer collection.

1) Green Jade Gold Bracelet 

Wear the green jade against bright contrast clothing for extra impact.



2) Onyx & Rose Gold Lucky Bracelet

This is a great transeasonal piece.



3) Union Jack Cuff

A cuff with real attitude (oh and national pride).


4) White Agate Lucky Hand Silver Bracelet

Lovely creamy gemstone with a good luck charm – we love to layer these Lucky Hand Bracelets (see more  colours here: http://www.gildastryst.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=lucky+hand)


5) Gemstone Stacking Bangles

In silver & gold, these old favourites never go out of style. 


6) Grey & Purple Swarovski Bracelet

This Swarvoski bracelet, with contrast felt lining is a new favourite.


7) Brass Cut Out Cuff

We love this cuff & we reckon Wonder Woman would have approved.


8) Smoky Blue Leather Friendship Bracelets

Easy to wear - this summer bracelet looks as good with a bikini or t-shirt & jeans as an LBD. 


9) Turquoise Gold Cuff

This Cuff is: Bold, Bright, but oh so Light.

Scarves – Why I love them so, by Amanda Gilda’s Tryst Co-Founder

I love scarves because a scarf can manage to exude everything from old school allure, to rock chick nonchalance and everything in between.
Never has a single accessory given us so much. Take one simple silk scarf, in just a few twists the same scarf can be styled into a rainbow of looks
Wear your scarf a la Jackie Onassis for high octane Italian Riviera glamour...
 
Tie the scarf jauntily round the neck for a slightly naughty look a la Kate Moss...
 

Wrap the scarf around the head for instant hippie chick chic a la Nicole Richie...
 
And for fancy dress parties the humble scarf comes into its own:

Top on my Gilda’s Tryst scarf wishlist at the moment is the inkblobs cashmere mix scarf. A dash of this season’s pink lippie to match and I’ll be at your service.

10 OF OUR FAVOURITE THINGS THIS WEEK

A whole bunch of things we love from the worlds of jewellery, accessories & fashion, food and drink, music and movies and general randomness.
 
 
1) We are so sad to see Game of Thrones over for another year, we could almost cry. We await the finale with wild anticipation.
 
2) We will be drinkin Pimms, checking out Tennis Players’ legs and watching some tennis @ the Aegon @ Queens.
 
3) A discovery you will thank us for – dairy free and guilt-free this coconut milk yoghurtis seriously good.
 
4) Nothing says summer like a white summer dress, team this baby with these stunning blue turquoise earrings and this turquoise suede clutchbag
 
5) And throw an extra punch with these turquoise (and caicos) nails.
 
6)  One pan cooking is the future (our future anyway), and we have tried and tested this a few times now. Lots of goodness too.
 
7) Keeping with the blue theme, how about this stunning gold cuff for summer arm candy?
 
8) And how about this summer retro cocktail, it’s all kitsch and cute and flirty. Here’s how you whisk it up at home.
 
9) Another HANDY Jewellery Storage Solution ;)
 
10) Here at GT HQ we are bouncing to this song off Vampire Weekend’s new album.

Jewellery that protects

Older than Christianity, older than Islam, the hand of Fatima (also known as  Hamsa) is used all over the Middle East to ward off the evil eye. We are in love with this sparkly Hand of Fatima friendship bracelet. 
 

 

Wear alone or make it the more the merrier & layer with other friendship bracelets.
 

Loving Summer Blue

Blue seas, blue skies, blue jewellery, blue accessories. Blue is our top summer colour.  Here are our picks of blue jewellery and accessories for this season, from dark blue oceanic Chalcedony to achingly bright turquoise; these earrings, necklaces, rings and clutches are top of our pops.
