RACHEL SWEENY, COX & POWER About… Cox & Power are modern jewellers immersed in an ancient story. Our pieces tell a tale of fine craftsmanship and we celebrate the journey of each piece of jewellery. One of the most rewarding things we do is working with clients to create something they’ll love and wear forever – and of course there’s nothing more personal than a wedding ring – a piece you’ll wear constantly that becomes a part of you. From engagement and wedding rings to big-day jewellery and gifts, each piece is made with love. Wedding rings are always made to order, whether a design from our collection or a completely bespoke piece. Most popular product… Unusually cut gemstones always attract attention and we love to seek out diamonds and sapphires that are less than obvious but still stunning. These stones create individual pieces that can be worn whenever the mood takes you – and that special sparkle is perfect for big-day style. Key trends this year… Individuality! Weddings are an opportunity for couples to express themselves and many wish to capture that perfect balance between tradition and individuality. People are also now thinking about where jewellery comes from. Gold and gemstone sourcing can have a positive impact so it matters that people care about the story behind their jewels. We’re proud to work with Fairtrade and Fairmined gold and seek out precious stones with a good story to tell. Beyond fashion, this is one trend that can bring change for the better. Top tip for accessorising your big-day look… Give yourself time to enjoy choosing pieces that truly reflect your personality. Remember that fashion trends are temporary and think about your own style – what pieces will make you feel confident and joyful? This will ensure a timeless look that’ll always remind you of the day you felt your absolute best.

Our real strength lies in providing beautifully designed jewellery and hair accessories. Each product line is personally chosen by myself and I’m constantly searching the globe to find new and exciting products to add to the range. My aim from the beginning has been to try to provide brides-to-be with an enjoyable and easy shopping experience while offering stylish and beautiful wedding accessories at affordable prices. Most popular product… The Grace hair comb is a hit with our brides. It complements most dresses and pairs well with all hairstyles from a classic, twisted up-do to long flowing locks. Also, brides tend to choose freshwater pearls and considering the amount of freshwater pearls the Elizabeth comb is made of, it represents excellent value for money. Key trends this year… Couples are more inclined to have smaller, low-key gatherings with brides opting for simpler dresses. This gives plenty of room for being creative with jewellery and hair accessories. I also believe that bridal fashion doesn’t change that much which has allowed us to build up collections of accessories over the years which are still going strong today. Top tip for accessorising your big-day look… Your hair accessories should complement the dress. The simpler the dress, the bolder the accessories should be. Keep the style of your accessories in line with the era of your dress. For example, a crown of flowers, hair vine or forehead headband will suit a boho dress perfectly and a mixture of pearl and small diamante is a perfect match to lace. I’ve written an accessory guide for 2022, that covers all categories of accessories and how to wear them. Contact me to find out more. Find out more: www.olivierlaudus.com 74
