Sparkling choices

The sun is shining and it's time to get dressed up and enjoy the great outdoors - but that doesn't mean you have to look old and frumpy. Add a little glamour to your style with jewellery to make you feel good, writes Niamh Kelly

FEW months ago, I was invited to Coppi restaurant in the fabulous Saint Anne's Square in Belfast to attend an intimate dinner held by Paul Casement and Sarah Monahan from Emozioni jewellery.

Hot Diamonds are the force behind the Emozioni brand that has taken the accessory world by storm. They have collection of luxurious necklaces and bracelets that have fast become my favourite style of jewellery for this season. I was extremely lucky to be gifted with a fabulous necklace that I was able to create myself.

The representatives at Emozioni also gave me a breathtaking rose gold bracelet that has such delicate and detailed designs on it. The necklaces consist of different chain, coin and keepers styles that will make picking your perfect necklace all the more enjoyable.

I've selected a variety of necklaces and bracelets for you to dream over. Starting with these two magnificent yellow gold and black rhodium plated keepers, they are the most fabulous pieces of jewellery I have ever set eyes on. What's great is that you can mix and match the style and colour of your chain, keeper and coin.

When I was creating mine, I opted for a complete rose gold look with a black diamond and rose gold coin. You can build up your own collection with a variety of coating colours, and coin designs. The coin designs are truly beautiful and help add a touch of movement to the necklaces.

I have the Time Traveller rose gold-plated coin with the Rhodium keeper. I love the fabulous black diamond within the centre of the flower and around each part of the coin. This piece is such a chic and elegant style that will look show-stopping with any of the Emozioni necklaces. For a more solid look, the short gold style would be better suited. The simple white diamond within the undecorated keeper helps to keep the necklace looking beautifully understated and simplistic. Again, the black stone in the centre of the coin help give it a pop of colour.

If you prefer a little more colour within your accessories, then these gorgeous turquoise and yellow gold styles are perfect. Each keeper has quite a Roman numeral effect on them, which I love, while the turquoise marble coin pops beautifully.

Along with the marble effect, you can also invest in their Fantasy Sparkle styles. They help add a touch of sparkle and glamour to the look. Depending on your own personal style and preference, there is a wide variety of colour, and styles to choose from.

Now on to the pretty bracelets. Each bangle or bracelet offers entrancing with enriched embellished pieces, rich rose golds and charming detachable coins. I'm going to start with this luxurious sterling silver and rose gold-plated bead bracelet. This style is best suited for those who prefer to make a much more daring statement. The combination of rose gold and sterling silver add a fun assortment and the coin can help add a touch of elegance to it. Perhaps the coin would be best suited for a more formal nighttime look.

Bangles are my favourite 'go-to' piece of arm candy. They're fun for wearing as an individual look or you can stack them together and create an array of colours and styles. I've included a stack collection of bangles that include solid styles and coins. What I love most about these bangles is the combination of colour, detailing and the choice to switch up each style. I have a rose gold piece that I wear with everything. It's great for pairing with boyfriend watches, chunky bracelets and on its own for a more delicate look.
