The pieces reflect light, they are playful with crystal, sparkle with silver, mesmerize with intricate beaded detail. The spring palette is composed of blushes, ivories, champagnes and pale grey juxtaposed with rich candy coloured gemstones. From lace embroidered sashes, pearl embellished statement necklaces, delicate crystal hairwraps to vintage inspired rhinestone hair clips and combs; the Sara Laurence Collection is a showcase of all things pretty, effervescent, poised and lovely.
