Crystal fashion jewellery has become a staple in modern fashion, offering a unique blend of elegance, sophistication, and whimsy. This type of jewellery combines the natural beauty of crystals with exquisite craftsmanship, resulting in pieces that are both stylish and eye-catching.

Crystals from Swarovski are by far the most popular choice when it comes to making fashion jewellery. They are also referred to as 'diamante', 'rhinestones' or 'austrian crystals'. They come in a myriad of colours, shapes and sizes. This is reflected in our collection of fashion jewellery that features Swarovski crystals. It is, probably, our largest collection out of all the rest. Crystals are shiny and sparkly, when light hits it just right you will be treated with a flurry of colourful reflections, and this can't be missed!

Barrettes, also known as hair clips or clasps, have their roots in ancient civilizations. In ancient Greece and Rome, women used hairpins and combs to secure their hairstyles. The modern barrette, however, is believed to have originated in Europe during the 18th century. Initially, barrettes were simple metal clips used to hold back stray hairs or secure a bun. Over time, they evolved to incorporate decorative elements, such as enamel, gemstones, and intricate designs.

Barrettes and hair clips come in a variety of styles, each suited to specific hair types, lengths, and styles.

Pin-back barrettes: These classic barrettes feature a pin or clasp on the back, securing them to the hair.

Slide-back barrettes: These barrettes have a sliding mechanism that allows them to be easily removed and repositioned.

Snap-back barrettes: These barrettes feature a snap or toggle closure, providing a secure fit.

Hair slides: These are long, thin barrettes designed to slide through hair sections, often used for up-dos and ponytails.

Bobby pins: Small, hairpin-like barrettes used to secure stray hairs or add volume to hairstyles.

Barrettes and hair clips serve multiple purposes:

Hair decoration: They add a decorative touch to hairstyles, whether used as a statement piece or to complement a overall look.

Hair management: They help keep stray hairs in place, securing styles such as buns, ponytails, and up-dos.

Hair volume: They can be used to add volume or texture to hairstyles, particularly for those with fine or limp hair.
