So what's new on Bad Candy (Pt 2)

Continued... A second section of new stock has gone up on the Bad Candy website and is available to buy already. Here's a quick lowdown on what and why we chose to bring them to you.

4.  The 'Tribal Gumdrops' Necklace - http://www.badcandy.co.uk/product/new-tribal-gumdrops
Why? We've actually been after this necklace for a while, but it's been unavailable - at last, we have it for you at Bad Candy! We love everything about this, the boldness and vibrance of the hot pink against the silver, the tribal detailing that's perfect for this summer's tribal clothing designs, and the chunky solidness that makes it a perfect statement necklace. It is versatile and adds great colour to all day wear, but likewise will add punch and vibrance to evening wear and dresses. We simply love it and will be wearing it all summer ourselves! ♡

5. The 'Sun Shield' Necklace - http://www.badcandy.co.uk/product/new-sun-shield

Why? Discs and circles are a timeless favourite and this is a lovely blend of simplicity and mini ropework based on a shield design. It's simple, stylish, well designed, big, bold, sturdy and a great take on leather thonged necklaces - far better quality than most but at a very, very good price. In design sometimes less is more and this is a good example of how to do it right. We do very much keep in mind that if you're at college or university, then you're probably on a budget, so we like to find good quality statement pieces that are within that range and make them available to you. In the same instance we try to keep choices and styles broad for all tastes. Make no mistake that this would definitely not be £8.50 in a high street store, more around the £20+ mark - and this is why we're proud to keep our margins so low that we can bring excellent quality jewellery to everyone! ♡

6. The 'Mosaic Tiles' Necklace - http://www.badcandy.co.uk/product/new-mosaic-tiles

Why? The fall and shape to form of this beautiful Roman inspired necklace is just exquisite, it drapes luxuriously around your neck. We like to stock pieces that aren't all based around a singular pendant and this caught our eye as a lovely shape and very interesting alternative. We liked the indentation detail on the tiles and uneven shapes that make up the whole, being bright silver in colour it also catches light beautifully for universal appeal. Perhaps a little less overt, but still a subtle and elegant statement to enhance any outfit! ♡

So what's new on Bad Candy (Pt 1)

Some of the new stock has gone up on the website and is available to buy already. Here's a quick lowdown on what and why we chose to bring them to you.

1.  The 'Rainbow Twist' Necklace - http://www.badcandy.co.uk/product/new-rainbow-twist
Why? Obviously summer brings a desire for more colourful jewellery and we like the fact that this piece does it in an inventive way. It mixes architectural with dreamy and fantastical, a definite plus. Moreover it's unique and unlike the same 'types' of jewellery we see time and time again when we're viewing potential designs. Jewellery follows a similar premise to fashion in that what you may initially seem nice  pretty cool gets regurgitated over and over by exporters to meet the current trend and mass market. While this suits big stores and is a positive thing, it's not quite how we work. We try to bring you individuality and boldness that the High Street doesn't cater for. This is a prime example, a superb addition to any summer wardrobe.

2. The 'Steam Reflections' Necklace - http://www.badcandy.co.uk/product/new-steam-reflections

Why? While we've been long time fans, Steampunk and Victoriana are now really starting to tap into the general market and here is a great compromise. We set out on a mission to find a happy medium, something that hints at that aforementioned but is still accessible and easily wearable for a fashion queen or high street lover. We felt this lovely necklace fulfilled both criteria, a pretty generic butterfly combined with a lovely ornate Victoriana mirror on an long chain, all finished in a great antiqued gold colour. Perfect, affordable and easy for anyone to wear. A real hit.

3,  The 'Classical Cameo' Necklace - http://www.badcandy.co.uk/product/new-classical-cameo

Why? We had been looking for a suitable cameo necklace for a while, for the same reasons as mentioned in the previous post. We had seen many and not quite fallen in love with them, or they had been very expensive to stock and therefore out of the kind of price range we prefer to bring to you. Then we saw these and were sold straight away. The lady in the relief is so beautifully classical, how could we say no? Detail really is everything with cameos, we saw many that were rather flat and 2d, and just felt they weren't quite right - this lady on the other hand is wonderful. This cameo comes in a gold and sepia or a blue and white finish, both with a few little coloured stones set into the frame edges. Amazingly we actually initially bought limited stock to trial them and ran out of the blue and white before we could even get them in the online store! Don't worry though, they will be there soon!
