How to rock a solo earring look? There are various ways to do it and one thing to remember – that earring you choose must be a statement one.

1. Pull your hair up or comb it to one side and go rebel chic with a single punk style ear spike or an ear cuff like seen on Autumn-Winter 13/14 Versace , Kenzo, Jean-Paul Gaultier and Carven models.

2. Stay colourful: bright tones and bold designs are joined together in a perfect ensemble at Oscar de la Renta catwalk.

3. Dior gives us a hint that “less is more” opting for a single oval clip to complete the Autumn – Winter 2013/14 look while Hermes sticks to basics with a single mid-length drop.

4. Chanel Resort looks scream Chic and Glamour. If this is your style opt for a floaty shoulder-length single earring with beads and crystals.

Essential Passion: The Artistic Pursuits of Mehragin Rahmati of Mergin Jewelry 

Jewellery can be thoughtful and insular, or it can be effusive and bold and full of character that makes it stand out from the crowd. I would put the colourful and charismatic creations of Mehragin Rahmati into the latter camp because of their attention-grabbing silhouettes, unusual structures, and confident mineral palettes.
