Binky Rainbow Necklace c/o Souksy |
I love finding new shops to lust over – especially if they please my inner magpie. Jewellery for me has mostly been something that comes as an afterthought for an outfit, complementary pieces that don’t really add anything special, per se, but are the finishing touches that round a look off. Souksy pieces though, bold, iridescent and beautiful, they demand an outfit be built around them.
Binky Rainbow Necklace c/o Souksy |
At the Bloggers Love LFW event, Souksy were kind enough to gift me this gorgeous Binky Rainbow Necklace*, and I was able to chat to the lovely ladies there about the brand a little. I was definitely taken by the colour and the detail in the designs of the jewellery, and to hear that all the pieces were affordable or relatively inexpensive for the quality was music to my ears.
In all honesty, I can’t say I’m a massive fan of statement necklaces that sit on the clavicles, they tend to drown me and I feel a little claustrophobic (anyone else? Or is that just me…), so I am saddened that despite how stunning this necklace is, I probably won’t get much wear out of it. But I am definitely, very firmly placed in the ‘petite’ section for all intents and purposes – sort of sad face. However, they have some amazing bracelets, rings and pendants on display that I was immediately drawn to. I might have to make a cheeky purchase at some point, since my current jewellery collection consists of tarnished rings and a tad too much plastic.
What’s your favourite type of jewellery piece to wear? Are you fan of the statement pieces, or more of an understated type of person – necklaces over bracelets, or a serial ring stacker?

It catches the light absolutely beautifully, and the craftsmanship is really something to write home about – they have a whole collection using those colours that I'm definitely going to have a nose around.xo

I feel you being part of the petite crew! I can't even wear most bangles that are sold as they're far too big for my child-like frame sigh. This necklace would be a great statement piece though and I see a lovely pair of spiked chandelier in one of your photos up there…Chantel Dionexo

Slips straight off the wrists unless it's clasped or in some way adjustable… what are our lives?!? When I was browsing I was making mental checklists, and I thought you'd like them!! All the pieces are such amazing quality and the same price as some of the high street stores more chunky costume jewellery, def worth it, imo xo

The necklace is beautiful. Although I have to admit that I am the same. I never get any wear out of statement necklaces. I guess because my style is already super fussy, I tend to avoid chucking on any huge jewellery because I'd look even more baffling! I just don't think I'd do a statement necklace any justice… I'd ruin the poor thing haha!
Fii Cridland says
It's such a shame because there are so many gorgeous statement necklaces out there and I just walk past them all going 'nope! nope! nope!'. Thankfully these guys have a range of more wearable statement pieces, in some stunning subtle colours as well as the massive iridescent ones. The wrist cuff looked amazing on, such a shame I couldn't buy anything there and then!xo

love that first necklace! I´m a sucker for that colour. Didn´t know the brand before and it just made it to my wishlisht haha 😉 xxdresses-and-travels //@susandollparts
Fii Cridland says
The petrol-iridescence is something I'm seeing more and more of at the moment – and awh yay I'm glad! Discovering new brands is the best… but bad for our bank accounts aha xo
Chantal van Brummelen says
Love it, so pretty! I'm a fan of both minimal and statement jewellery, depends on my mood ;)xxChantalhttp://www.commedescoco.nl
Fii Cridland says
I tend to favour the minimal as I find it much easier to wear… maybe I should force myself to style more statement pieces?xo
Iren Pokydchenko says

Caz says
Very nice necklace and stunning pictures Fii, well done. Shame you aren't a statement jewellery person as I can imagine you would built an amazing outfit around it. I love statement but it shouldn't be too chunky and overload my neck. Hope to see the necklace again, maybe in an ootd? Hope to speak soon xxxCaz | Lunch Break Adventures
Fii Cridland says
Awh thank you Caz! I'm going to try and build something around it, purely so it doesn't just sit around looking pretty – waiting for the weather to cooperate first, though ..xo
