Old money style & quiet luxury: When timeless quality triumphs over quantity
Do you know what old money style and quiet luxury are? Don't expect flashy logos or bright colours, these two fashion styles can catch the eye in a much more subtle way. If you're a lover of minimalism, luxury, quality and elegance, these trends will win your heart and you might even add them to your wardrobe or jewellery box. So come and explore with us! With fast-moving trends and new products appearing literally every season, more and more people are turning to sustainable values. And not just when it comes to their wardrobe or jewellery box. If this is the case, then you will certainly be interested in old money style and quiet luxury. The common denominator of these styles are three basic characteristics – timeless simplicity, elegance and, above all, high quality. It is a style of fashion with a long tradition. Its roots can be traced back to the 19th century, mostly among students at elite British schools. This aesthetic was associated with the upper classes, characterised by great wealth passed down from generation to generation. From this comes the name "old money". But the old money style was not just about clothes, it was also about a superior lifestyle and a principled attitude to tradition. Elements of old money also crossed the ocean in the mid-20th century. But the American student elite called this style "preppy", as it is still called there. The hallmarks of Old Money style are simple but perfectly fitting cuts, high-quality fabrics and a neutral colour palette. Precision-cut jackets, midi dresses or skirts and high-quality jewellery are all part of the regular Old Money look. In the wardrobes or jewellery boxes of fans of this style, you are unlikely to find fast-fashion pieces that will be forgotten after a few wears. Rather, designer clothes have their place of honour, and generally, local and handmade products play a significant role. After all, handmade jewellery, locally made clothes or handcrafted accessories are made to last a lifetime.

What about quiet luxury?
Closely related to the concept of old money style is the concept of quiet luxury. Again, don't expect any "loud" fashion trends! There's no need to talk about quality, it's obvious at a glance. And so quiet luxury is characterised by the fact that it doesn't show off brands or logos, but rather relies on simplicity, quality materials and detailed workmanship.
And what specific pieces do fans of quiet luxury wear? Their wardrobes are likely to include wool or cashmere jumpers, perfectly fitting white shirts, leather shoes or handbags and, of course, unique jewellery. Understated, sophisticated and extremely chic!

Old money style and quiet luxury jewellery
If you're planning a big wardrobe makeover and want to give your wardrobe a new old money or quiet luxury look, we've got some tips for luxury jewellery. Diamonds may be the first thing that comes to mind – it's probably the most common association with luxury. Of course, it's a great choice! But what would you say about lab grown diamond jewellery? These jewels are basically synonymous with ethical luxury! Their lab-grown origins make them a more sustainable alternative to conventionally mined diamonds. You won't be able to tell the difference, so you can treat yourself to this sparkling beauty without compromise.
First decide whether you want a ring, earrings, necklace, bracelet or a complete jewellery set. Of course, unique pieces of jewellery look best together, but if you want to start with small steps, we recommend choosing a minimalist necklace and a unique ring to match. These designer jewellery will take a simple, elegant outfit to a whole new level. At the same time, you can combine them with any look for any occasion.
