Styling Your Special Occasion Outfit With the Right Jewellery

Styling Your Special Occasion Outfit With the Right Jewellery

When it comes to dressing for special occasions, the right jewellery can elevate your outfit and let your personality shine through. At Claudia Bradby, our jewellery is thoughtfully designed and handcrafted around the idea that jewellery is more than just an accessory, it’s about feeling like yourself.

‘Jewellery is uniquely personal, my hope is that every time you wear a piece of our jewellery, the thought and care that goes into each design will shine through.’ Claudia Bradby, Founder.

Whether you’re attending the races, a wedding, a christening, a summer ball, a birthday party, or enjoying an evening out on holiday, choosing the perfect pieces can make all the difference. We specialise in hand-selected freshwater pearls, crafted with care and designed to be treasured forever. Each piece tells a unique story, adding a touch of timeless elegance to any ensemble. Here’s how to style your special occasion outfit with jewellery that’s right for you.

The Races

Attending the races is a quintessentially British affair, often marked by high fashion and sophistication. A silver pearl necklace is an ideal choice to complement your race day outfit. Pair it with a chic dress and a stylish hat for a classic, elegant look. Pearl stud earrings can add a subtle touch of glamour without overpowering your ensemble, ensuring you stand out in the crowd for all the right reasons. We love these pictures of Clodagh Mckenna wearing our Gold Flying Bee Choker at Ascot last week.

Weddings

Weddings are a time to celebrate love and unity, and your jewellery should reflect the joy of the occasion. A pearl necklace adds a touch of romance and tradition to your attire and offer a versatile and timeless option with contemporary flair. Consider a delicate silver pearl necklace such as our Essential Long Pearl Pendant to enhance a flowing maxi dress or our luxurious Biography Necklace for pure pearl elegance. Pair with your favourite pearl stud earrings for a cohesive and polished finish.
