Jewellery

Women's jewellery

Forcast jewellery is chosen to go with workwear: pieces that look right with a blazer at nine and still work at dinner at seven. The range covers gold plated and silver plated earrings, necklaces, bracelets, bangles and rings, with pearl and stone styles alongside the plain metals. Most of it is made to be worn every day rather than kept for occasions.

Gold, silver or pearl

If you are building from nothing, choose a metal and stay with it for a while. Gold plated pieces such as the Naya 16k Gold Plated Earrings and the Macie 16k Gold Plated Necklace sit well with navy, camel and cream, while silver styles like the Kaylee Silver Necklace suit black, grey and white. Pearls, including the Clara Organic Pearl Choker and the Noa Pearl Chain Bracelet, go with either metal and read as dressed for work. Shop by metal in the gold edit, the silver edit and the pearl edit.

What to wear with what

A collared shirt takes small earrings and a bracelet rather than a necklace. A crew neck knit or a sleeveless top is where a necklace or choker earns its place. A statement earring works best when the rest is quiet: hair back, plain neckline, nothing at the throat. With a printed dress, keep to one small piece in the metal that matches the warmest colour in the print.

Desk to dinner

The easiest change from work to evening is a swap rather than a new outfit: studs out and drops in, a slim chain off and a statement piece like the Nia Statement Bracelet on. Keep a pair of hoops and a cuff in your bag and a work dress will carry you through both.

How to shop the range

Work by category once you have settled on a metal: earrings first, since they are seen most, then necklaces chosen against the necklines you actually wear, then bracelets and rings to finish. Match your buckle and bag hardware to the same family and the whole outfit settles.
