Samantha Wills at MSFW

A fabulous piece of jewellery is a always at the top of the “Must-Have” list. When it’s as statement-making as a Samantha Wills piece, it adds that touch of sparkle that every girl is constantly searching for.

We’ve joined forces with our friends at Samantha Wills for Melbourne Spring Fashion Week, and as always, we are completely smitten by each and every piece. There is nothing quite like teaming fantastic jewellery with a bold swimsuit to ensure all eyes on you – from the beach, to the pool, all the way to the catwalk at Fashion Week.

Our MSFW show features a host of Samantha Wills pieces, including the Belle DeJour ring, Guardian Earrings, and the show-stopping Manhattan Moments Necklace.

The more the better, we say. After all, who doesn’t swoon for amazing jewellery?
