Retro Collection

 

Kiwiana Collection

 

 

 


 

 

This new, eclectic, black & white collection is sophisticated and unique.

 

 

Spring 2011 sees the launch of my first Just Gorgeous Retro Collection.


For many years I have been inspired by fashion and design from the 1920's through to the 1960's.
I admire the costumes of the black and white films from the 1920's and more modern day
(remember the famous Black & White Ascot scene from "My Fair Lady") as well as the art,
architecture and interior design from the 1920's to the 1940's. I have great admiration for the
legendary Mary Quant and the abstract and cubist art movements.

 

I have kept to a black & white colour palette as it is simple and striking, and presents a crisp look.
Black & white is also easy to coordinate in most corporate, casual and celebration wardrobes.

 

 

You will always know whether you are purchasing authentic Just Gorgeous jewellery by the unique "Just Gorgeous New Zealand" logo charm which provides a decorative finish to the extender chains or long, fully adjustable chains of my necklaces.
My Just Gorgeous Retro Collection comes packaged in our grey on white Just Gorgeous organza pouch.

If you are giving a Just Gorgeous Retro Collection piece as a gift, or want a place to safely store your piece, our new presentation box reflects the quality and style of the Just Gorgeous jewellery and is available exclusively through Just Gorgeous select stockists. This lovely white, satin finished box, features the Just Gorgeous New Zealand logo in grey, and is lined with white velveteen making it the perfect gift packaging for my jewellery.

 

The Just Gorgeous Retro Collection is available exclusively through our select stockists.
Please enjoy browsing through the collection on our website.
