Take on London Fashion Week “Nakibirango” style

With London fashion week just round the corner, it's that time of the year again where the buzz and beauty of the fashion world takes centre stage and the rest of the world seems to stop.

It's also the time when your outfits get some special attention as you sift through your wardrobe in a bid to analyse your sense of style. Although your shoes, bags and jeans may get the tender loving care that they deserve, the fundamental accessory that is often overlooked is the necklace.

So why don't you show off your flair and throw on an eye-catching statement necklace over a simple dress. Forget layering on blazers, playing with hats or getting creative with scarves, your wow factor will come from around your neck.  

London Luxury jewellery brand Nakibirango, offers three signature pieces that can be worn across a range of different styles and transition from day to night seamlessly. 

The Longmu necklace is named after the ancient Chinese mythical mother of dragons, who was said to be an example of devotion and love. Made from Blue Dragon Vein agate which is also known as  'The Emotional Healer' stone, this necklace shouts out or sends the message that you value your individuality and you are confident about who you are. It works best when you keep the rest of your jewellery simple, especially your earrings. 

For a piece that combines delicate craft-work with bold style, the Sunset Necklace is perfect.  Featuring Swarovski briolettes and Botswana Agate, also known as the 'Sunset Stone', it wraps its layers of gentle pinks, brown and greys around the soul like a soft, warm blanket.  Reflecting beautifully in the light, the Sunset necklace has changed the face of jewellery with its fine craftsmanship. This stand out piece looks best when styled with an old favourite, so spice up your go-to little black dress for a fabulous way to add a trendy twist to an old classic.

Three reasons to make it bespoke jewellery

Three reasons to make it bespoke jewellery

A personalised ring made with your ideal gemstone, a carefully constructed handmade pendant, or a tailor-made bracelet. Nothing declares uniqueness and glamour as much as bespoke jewellery.

The word bespoke comes from the verb to bespeak, meaning to "speak for something" and at Nakibirango - London, we believe it is important that your style not only speaks for you, but shouts about your individuality.

So, whether you want to customise a piece from our existing collection or have a piece exclusively made for you,  having a personalised addition to your Jewellery collection means that you will always have a one off creation that reflects the true nature of your style and personality.

Now, if that is not a good enough excuse to get in touch to find out more about our bespoke jewellery service, then here are three reasons why everyone should have at least one bespoke piece in their collection.

Unique

Every now and then, it is perfectly acceptable to totally indulge yourself and what better way to do so then with luxury Jewellery. You have the indulgence of focusing on your absolute desires without compromise. It's all about you.

Sentimental 

Bespoke Jewellery can also be the perfect gift for that special person in your life. If you are struggling for ideas, nothing says I love you, appreciate you and understand you more than a customised gift. Bespoke means you can inject personality into a piece of jewellery by adding a favourite gemstone to capture a sentimental moment.   

The bespoke jewellery service by Nakibirango gives you the opportunity to create a piece with a huge amount of sentimental value, meaning that you are able to truly mark a special occasion or give a wonderful gift.

Now that the evenings are getting longer and the days are starting to feel warmer, it is the perfect time to inject some much deserved sophistication into your wardrobe, to make a style statement with bold, strong and striking accessories. The Melissa Earrings by Nakibirango - London will help you achieve this.

The Melissa Earrings are a Nakibirango classic inspired by the Greek Goddess of bees. In ancient mythology, the bee was believed to be the sacred insect that bridged the gap between the natural world and the underworld; as such Melissa was believed to possess infinite powers.  Furthermore, the three hexagons used to create Melissa pay homage to her confidence, leadership and spirituality.

The shape of the earrings represents the bee’s honeycomb, which is symbolic of communication, balance and union.

The hexagon is also associated with sincerity and integration. The Melissa Earrings embody all of these beautiful qualities in one simple, eye catching, and symmetrical design.

By stepping out in a pair, you tell the world that you are not afraid to celebrate your individuality; you embrace your divinity and are comfortable and confident with your personal sense of style.
