There are six key accessory trends that we have identified, including gorgeous jewellery and covetable handbags, for the Spring Summer 2019 Season and we will dish all the dirt on how to get this Seasons' hottest looks!
.
1. Personalisation & Quotes
.
One of the big trends in jewellery is personalisation, and this is everything from name necklaces, to letters, to birth stones, star signs and more. Great examples of these include the Newbridge & Alex & Ani birth stone jewellery, letters from Pilgrim, and even cute options for your little one from our newest brand Kirsten Ash. Furthermore you can now (literally) wear your heart on your sleeve as your favourite quotes move into your accessories. This trend is huge for Alex & Ani as the coin jewellery is the perfect placeholder for your favourite saying or motivational quote.

2. Pearls
.
Pearls were incredibly popular for the Autumn/Winter Season, and are only getting more popular for the Spring/Summer 2019 Season! For the Spring Summer Season we see more pearls mixed in to traditional jewellery pieces, such as pearls on chains, and pearls mixed with other gemstones to create a really unique and funky look.

3. Mismatched Earrings
.
Gone are the days where everything had to match - mismatched earrings are on the rise as everyone looks to create their own unique look. We have some amazing options from Pilgrim that include one statement earring, and one smaller complimentary earring which is a great way to incorporate this trend into your collection.

4. Hammered Metal
.
Hammered metal, gives that handmade, sculpture look and is so on trend for the Spring Summer Season. The technique used when making this jewellery is anything to distress the metal, creating a bent, wavy, or flattened effect. This adds a unique look to the metal, and adds shape and texture to the look.

5. Resin
.
Resin jewellery is on the rise, as colour trends in Fashion now spill into the Jewellery world. Resin is really wearable, and we've seen is most popular in earrings to add a pop of colour to your collection - a great way to introduce new Season colours into your look!

6. Micro Bags & Backpacks
.
Day-t0-day bags are getting smaller and smaller, as we all choose to just carry the essentials from day to day. The perfect bag to hold your wallet, keys and phone, everything else is added extra! Plus backpacks are another great example of this trend, and a great alternative to a traditional handbag!
