Summer goddess: gold and bright

Fortune magazine announced last week that “bold, gold jewellery is back in style”. As the real thing is making a comeback thanks to a strong economy and lower gold prices, more affordable statement pieces are in abundance. There is a treasure trove on the high street and online; whether you’re looking to channel Cleopatra and the ancient goddesses, or go with funky boho designs, there’s something for you.

Gold metals have been paired with geometric shapes and florals in statement jewellery alongside cheerful, vibrant brights and soft pastels, all perfect for adding a luxe edge to festival chic, holiday glamour or finishing a wedding outfit in delicate and chunky styles.
