Summer is well and truly upon us and we at "Statement Pieces" have been looking for some fresh pieces to inject a bit of life into our wardrobes. As lightweight cottons take-over our clothes it means its time to step back from the more overzealous statement designs, instead focusing on charming, simplistic silver pieces. Whilst we've found ourselves lost in the plethora of silver jewellery we were well and truly saved when we stumbled across this weeks featured designer.
Elk Accessories, the brainchild between Melbourne design duo Adam & Marnie has been producing stunning accessories for a number of years (including jewellery, brooches, bags, hats, scarves and cardigans) - they're popularity continues to rise with their pieces regularly featuring in Australian publications such as Marie Claire, Grazia, Vogue and Shop Til You Drop. Elk's philosophy inspires each new range... accessories should be a statement. Easy to wear, comfortable, affordable and instantly recognisable. They also believe in only utilising fine quality raw materials which are sourced from all corners of the globe - the surprising thing? The pieces are all exceedingly affordable.
Our favourite pieces are apart of Elk's 08/09 Summer silver range and are entitled "Birds on a Wire". This mini-range features cufflinks ($135), stud earrings ($55), drop earrings ($66), a pendant ($105) and a cuff ring ($99). Each piece focuses around the story of birds sitting on a telegraph wire.
(Please note the studs and the cufflinks look identical so I did not include both images)

If we were buying from the range we would choose the pendant and the ring as the two compliment each other brilliantly without fighting for your attention. The versatility of the silver makes them all a very "smart" piece to invest in as they can literally be worn with anything. But as we mentioned before we really needed something to wear with the "softer" summer styles - these, undoubtedly serve that purpose. This was just one of the ranges we happened to love - there are many more available (for example there are four bird themed ranges - this was just one of them), so please check out the Elk website because you're sure to find a stunning piece made out of gorgeous materials for a quite reasonable price. (We especially recommend checking out their brooches - those of which they've become quite famous for!)
