Clare Hynes' SS13 statement jewellery

Her pieces are everywhere at the moment, from Grazia to hit US TV show, 90210 and on a continuous variety of celebs. And this current craze for all things Clare Hynes is well justified given her SS13 'Empress' collection — a spectacular success dripping in colour and glittering gems. Clare currently lives in Northern China, an influence which is clear in her latest collection in which she works with a wide variety of these semi-precious stones alongside Swarovski crystals, beads, ribbon, fresh water pearls (sourced at Chinese Pearl Markets) and Vermeil gold. Each piece is an oriental work of art, hand-crafted with care and the perfect accompaniment for your LBD!

To wear a Clare Hynes piece really is to feel like an Empress. Here's Team LBD's top picks from this season's collection... BEAUTIFUL PEARLS An opulent combination of fuchsia jade briolettes, deep green crystals and classic fresh water pearls all pulled together with coloured threads and a luxe velvet ribbon this is the original ‘wow' piece! Team LBD also can't help but notice a likeness to Audrey Hepburn's iconic accessory making it all the more desirable.
