Remember in Spice Girls: The Movie when Sporty says to Posh, "It must be so
hard for you, Victoria. I mean, having to decide whether to wear the little
Gucci dress, the little Gucci dress, or… the little Gucci
dress!" Well Viccy B got the last laugh when she rose from her Wannabe days into the fashion
stratosphere thanks to designs with confident simplicity.
Perfected minimalism is exactly what jewellery brand
Black & Sigi is all about and a collection of unique and beautiful pieces
has just landed at WSd HQ. Founded by two sisters Clio and
Athena Sigismondi, Black and Sigi brings us contemporary handmade jewellery
‘that will make you stand out from the crowd, always’. The collection currently
sitting pretty in store showcases the signature ‘wrapped technique’ that has
become synonymous with this stylish brand, as well as simply stunning semi
precious stones and crystals.
The Melia range combines Sterling silver wire with BAS wrapping- a
concept established by the sister duo of ‘breathing new life into your otherwise
lifeless jewels’. The Melia bangle mixes
textures and metals to create a statement design that’s simultaneously
delicate, while the combination of straight lines and flowing curves sets this
beauty apart from a traditional bangle style. The Melia ring, earrings and
necklace complete the ‘Immortal Collection’, with each piece proving that
minimal can make the biggest statement.
The aptly named Aphrodite bangle will most certainly bring love and
beauty to any look. The design is simple yet complex with the wire intricately
intertwining throughout the design to reach the definitive knot feature. The
tapering style gives added movement and interest and makes bangle stacking with
this beauty an aesthetic dream.
Team with the Stardust bangle to create a unique
stack full of wonder at every motion of the wrist. As its name suggests the
Stardust design is inspired by the formation of the cosmos and with the
addition of three distinctively shaped smoky quartz nuggets conjures up the
notion of ancient treasured talismans.
In keeping with the immensity of the
underworld and Solar system, the Stardust ring features a Hermatite bead
wrapped with a precious metal starburst bead and a delicate plated chain
detail. Simply mesmerising.
The elegant and contemporary Aphrodite shaping has also been established
within a ring and pendant design, verifying that the goddess of love can bestow
desire and pleasure in many forms…
Black and Sigi state that their ethos is ‘simple’…their intention is to ‘create
unique and beautiful pieces that will withstand the test of time’. Precious
metals, stones and crystals are timeless, yet it’s the originality of this
handmade brand that ensures Black and Sigi will be as enduring as the simply wonderful little
black dress..
