Z for Accessorize: Santorini Collection




The Z for Accessorize Santorini collection has very summery, warm vibes.  I have already  blogged about the pendant here and I still wear it all the time.  I have since purchased the matching bracelet and stud earrings.  These are also gold plated and have cubic zirconia stones as part of the design as well as the blue semi precious stone.

The studs are small and elegant, fitting comfortably against the ear lobe. They measure 1cm lengthways and fasten with butterfly backings. The bracelet has a built in extender and measures 19cm with the extender which is 3cm and 16cm without.  The stone measures 2x2.5cm.  I like the contrast between the gold chain aand the vibrant blue stone, which looks like the sea.  They make an eye catching and unusual combination which looks equally great against black and dark winter clothing, giving a pop of warm colour and will also go with more summery colours.  There is also a matching ring available.  


I purchased these items myself and the views expressed in this blog are my own.

Z for Accessorize Adeline Semi Precious Hoop Pendant Necklace



The Z for Accessorize semi precious hoop pendant necklace (£17) matches the hoop earrings.  It is gold plated, has a lobster clasp, the z logo disc and extender chain.  Despite having several stones in the hoop it is a light necklace. Due to the pastel colours of the semi precious stones this necklace will look great ith either a winter or summer wardrobe.

Z for Accessorize: Adeline Semi Precious Hoop Earrings




These Z for Accessorize Adeline gold plated semi precious hoop earrings (£19)  are more delicate in the flesh than they look on the website.  They are very easy to put in, or to get some one else to put them in for you.  Despite having several stones in the hoop they are very light so will not pull your ear down.  The colours of the stones are a variety of pastel hues so these earrings would work just as well in A/W as in S/S.

Z for Accessorize Halle Semi Precious Lariat Necklace



I have not bought any Z for Accessorize jewellery since March, but this necklace really caught my eye. The Halle semi precious pendant (£19) is a gold plated lariat style necklace.  The semi precious green stone at the top of the necklace is quite substantial and eye catching.  There are several cubic zircon stones in a drop at the bottom.  It has a built in chain extender.  It is a piece of jewellery that can be worn in summer but also looks great with a winter polo neck jumper.  As I am short it looks a lot longer on m than the model on the Accessorize website.

Dower & Hall Vermeil Multi Gem Hoops



These earrings by Dower & Hall  are 18ct gold vermeil on sterling silver, with multi gem -  2-4 mm amethyst, garnet and topaz studded - hoops.  I bought them in their Christmas sale, so they are no longer available, but I though I would do a post on them anyway as they are versatile and show the workmanship and quality of the Dower & Hall range.  They came in a leatherette jewellery box with their logo embossed on it which  will make a great travel jewellery case.  They look great coupled with pastel summery colours or darker more winter hues.  There is a tiny gem at the back of the hoop which balances the gems at the front.  All Dower & Hall jewellery is well made. timeless and has that added something and I always enjoy wearing my earrings and ring from their collections.

Z for Accessorize: Aura, aventurine, semi precious pendant #win


Designed by Zara Simon for her Z for Accessorize range, this pendant is gold plated and has a semi precious stone, aventurine as its pendant.  The stone is a deep forest green, one of 2016 A/W colours.  The stone measures 1cm and can look quite dull and uninspiring until the light hits it then the light bounces off showing different green hues,   The stone's cut is almost like a checkerboard giving lots of opportunity for the stone to be brigthened up when the light hits it.






The necklace is extendable from 20cm to 23.5 cm including the stone and bale. The setting is very sturdy and simple and it has a little "z" tag to show it belongs to the Z for Accessorize range.  The necklace, like all Accessorize jewellery comes on a little swing tag and can be found in selected stores and online.
