Save up to 55% on selected necklaces, earrings or bracelets from Modern Design Jewellery

Since the first caveman streaked his face with yellow cave-paint and strung sparkly pebbles around his neck, people have been blinging themselves out with little bits of shiny stuff. Rather than scour the beach for the prettiest pebbles, kit yourself out with up to 55% discount on selected necklaces, earrings or bracelets from Modern Design Jewellery.

Proving once and for all that local really is lekker, every spectacular piece of Modern Design Jewellery is designed and manufactured in usually-sunny Cape Town. Using a variety of semi-precious stones, Swarovski crystals and freshwater pearls, the dazzling designs have been featured in glossies and on the necks and wrists of many a South African celebrity. The line of beautiful designs offers everything from classic daywear to sparkling evening-wear, with a few simple pieces for corporate environments thrown into the mix. Dagmar Jungbauer, MDJ’s Creative Designer, believes that jewellery is an extension of the person and truly puts her heart and soul in every design.

With winter gone, there’s no reason to cover up your neck with bulky scarves, or hide your ears behind eight layers of caps and beanies – even your wrists can breathe the free air now that long-sleeves are no longer required. Kit your neck out with either a Round Cubic Zirconia, Charm and Crystal Shell Pearl necklace or a Shell Pearl and Crystal Tassel Neckpiece, both of which are bound to be a talking-piece at the next dinner party. Alternatively, if your ears are a feeling a bit exposed now that the beanies have been put away, console them with something shiny in the form of earrings, with six different designs with everything from chandelier to drop-earrings.

Choose from the following options:

• Pay R224 for a Round Cubic Zirconia, Charm and Crystal Shell Pearl necklace

           

• Pay R89 for Freshwater Pearl and Swarovski Crystal earrings

           

• Pay R268 for Smokey Swarovski Crystal chandelier earrings

           

• Pay R65 for Black and Silver Crystal drop earrings

           

• Pay R120 for Shell Pearl Drop and Swarovski Crystal earrings

           

• Pay R268 for Golden Shadow Swarovski Crystal tassel-drop earrings

           

• Pay R102 for a Black and Grey Crystal double-strand bracelet

           

• Pay R268 for a Shell Pearl and Crystal Tassel Neckpiece

           

Whatever shiny addition you make to your jewellery addition, MDJ even offers to deliver it straight to your door for a small extra charge. Even if you just phone ahead before picking it up, it’s easier than haggling with a monocled man at the jewellery counter.
