Go for the Gold
Nothing glitters quite like gold, especially in sophisticated statement pieces rich with warmth and lustre. Start with a gold-and-pearl necklace, add wide hoop earrings, then finish the look with Dendritic quartz, checkerboard tourmaline, pear-shaped diamond or Baby Bee stacking rings. All in 18-karat gold; all designed, crafted and available at Idar Jewellers.
Add the Charm
You’ll bring the good luck with you when you wear the 24-karat gold-plated Calliope necklace with “fers à cheval” pendant. Pair it with Cinq huggies studded with Austrian crystals, both by French Kande, available at Waterlily Shoes.
Stack ‘Em Up
Arm yourself with a bounty of gleaming gold bracelets — in mesh, chain link and bangle styles; 14-karat yellow gold,18-karat white gold or a mix of white and yellow gold — and grab a brass ring or two while you’re at it. All available at Stones Jewellery.
Take the Time
Nothing announces your presence like a truly significant watch such as the original electric watch first introduced in 1957, the Hamilton Ventura watch with its iconic triangular face and Swiss quartz movement. Pair it with dazzling Canadian diamond “inside out” hoops. Both available at Lugaro Jewellers.
Dazzle Everyone
From colourful mixed stones to simple gold bands, worn simply or all at the same time, these pieces suit every style, budget and occasion — and even better, are designed and made right here in Victoria. Rings, bracelets and necklaces all from Flux and Stone Jewelry.
Make a Statement
Plaza and Mini Plaza rings with green onyx, Disco pendant and Reign earrings, all by Dean Davidson, all available at Provenance Fine Things.
Spring’s Soft Focus
The change of season means it’s time to refresh your makeup look, to put away your dark matte lipsticks and moody eyeshadows and embrace spring’s lighter, softer, more natural vibe.
For this fashion feature, hair and makeup artist Anya Ellis used products by Oribe on the model’s hair and Christian Dior makeup on her face.
For a clean, hydrating base, she began with Dior Forever Skin Glow foundation, then added contour and a subtle shimmer with the Rouge Blush Colour & Glow palette. On the model’s eyes, she used Diorshow eyeshadows in softly shimmering bronze-brown hues from the Khaki, Coral Flame and Red Tartan eyeshadow palettes. To finish the look, she layered her lips in glossy soft-pink using Dior Addict Rose des Vents, Diormania and Dior Cannage.
