Mawi madness

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, we thought it best to focus on some jewellery.  It’s the go-to gift of guys everywhere, and there’s a reason for that.  Flowers are done in a week (and that’s pushing it), chocolate goes straight to the thighs, clothes are too hard to pick and shoes, well in our experience, every girl is extremely particular about what she will–and will not–put on her feet.  That leaves the jewels.  Lots of them in fact, that’s one thing we’re not picky about.  Something for everyone, it’s the more the merrier mentality.  Whether it’s made of 18k or coloured-plastic we guarantee you will find somewhere to wear it.

Mawi is our go-to for memorable, inspired baubles.  Sure, Mawi blends traditional gold and silver with a colourful mix of precious stones, but it’s the line’s utilitarian design and vintage elegance that differentiates this line from the rest.  It’s all in the details.  Look closely, and you’ll realise those little sapphire are supported by tiny skulls, whilst the lovely pearl necklace with rose-coloured pebbles actually holds a crowned king of the underworld below it.  Mawi’s aptly titled Heirloom collection brings an Old World feel to modern favourites.  Below are our top bets for Mawi jewels that will make a lasting impression.  Shop all Mawi on LynkU.
