Arm and ear candy from Samantha Wills' new spring collection

I’ve long had a major girl crush on Samantha Wills. Well, not so much on Samantha but on her distinct range of luxe boho jewellery.

The Australian-born designer now divides her time between New York and Sydney and I love the influence that both these locations bring to her collections. She has celebrities the world over wearing her pieces and each time they appeared on Nina in the hit Australian TV series Offspring, viewers went crazy for them.

Samantha Wills Spring-Summer 2011 Portraits of Dusk collection: jewellery that ticks the statement box

So, what’s the appeal?

For me, it’s the statement factor. And with Samantha Wills, it’s statement with a capital S.

If you wear a Samantha Wills bracelet, cuff, pair of earrings or cocktail ring, it will be noticed. Everything from the design, through to the gems, stones and metals combine to pack a powerful accessory punch.

And that’s the way I like it.

Samantha’s Spring-Summer 2011 Portraits of Dusk collection has started to arrive in store and online and I was very excited to try* on a few pieces that are due for release in August.
