Known as the “City of Art”, Paris
is home to an abundance of creative masterpieces- the Arc de Triomphe, the
Eiffel Tower, the Louvre… Yet at Paris Fashion Week it was all about wearable art and Givenchy used the face (!)
as a blank canvas! Yep that’s right each model paraded the runway with their
face dripping with jewels. As striking as this look may be, it doesn’t scream
practicality and may be a little tricky to pull off on date night!
Well fear not, Paris is not the only
hub of beautiful works of art. Born and raised in Sydney, fashion forward
jewellery label From St Xavier is
the epitome of stunning design. The latest collection of treasure to arrive at
WSd proves that art is indeed wearable.
Lovingly handmade, each From St
Xavier piece differs slightly in appearance, meaning every item is bespoke. The
From St Xavier ethos explains the
thinking behind the unique nature of each piece…
‘In many ancient
cultures some believed that wearing jewellery that combines three metals with a
natural stone brings about spiritual harmony. FSX entwines this belief
with key fashion trends offering our customers truly amazing one of a kind
pieces’.
At WSd HQ, we’re like children in
a sweet shop, mesmerized by the delectable stones in each piece.
So, what can you find in store?
While stacking bracelets makes an
eclectic statement, a cuff is all about strong simplicity. Embracing the wrist
like armour, the beautiful TARA cuff (£47)
makes a striking statement, with contrasting bold earthy toned stones against
silver metal. A must-have piece.
From St Xavier draws on
the classic combination of turquoise and silver to create stunning statement
rings. Wear one to highlight the distinctive stone, or a few to create a sea of
beautiful blue hues and bring the ocean to your fingertips.
The KIMBRA (£65) metal clutch
will simultaneously make you feel like a warrior and go weak at the knees every
time you gaze adoringly at its ornate beauty. This little wonder will toughen
up your winter wool and take you from day to night with its removable chain
strap.
That’s not all. The collection is
true accessory heaven- you’ll find beautiful earrings that will set your outfit
alight and a collar necklace that will instantly upgrade a simple tee. Any piece
from the St Xavier range will make a unique gift for Christmas and bring pure
joy to the fortunate recipient!
Oh and there’s no need to go to
Paris or Sydney to treat someone (or yourself of course) to a bespoke piece of
jewellery. What Sarah did HQ is located in lovely Hitchin and we can also post
