Benefits of the Large Necklace

Many ladies with larger busts would love to take the focus off that area. Well I'm here to help. By wearing this years fashionable larger necklaces we can do just that. Now for the psychology! The Titchener Illusion is displayed in the image here. Which sphere looks the smaller? The one on the left. In fact both are exactly the same size! Your perception is influenced by the surrounding spheres. Translating that into Fashion, wearing larger jewellery 1) gives the illusion of a smaller bust and 2) takes the focus away from the area. Great to know all those years studying psychology didn't go to waste!!

Recent Events at Orla Murphy Jewellery

Last week I was delighted to be interviewed by Emma Connolly of Cork's Evening Echo. Our diamante earrings were pictured in Cork News in their article on dressing for your debs. In fact many of our necklaces and earrings, recently added to our web site, would be a perfect addition to that all important debs dress. We also got a mention in the Cork Independent who carried an article on a recent Fashion Show in aid of the Niall Mellonn Trust, where we sponsored Best Dressed Lady, which was won by a very trendy Laura Morley. Bling It On! was the caption used by Stylist, AnneMarie O'Connor when she talked about us in her recent News Trends in the Irish Examiner. On Friday 13th (unlucky for some!) our jewellery was expertly modelled by the girls from Lockdown Models at a Fashion Show in Timoleague. Last, but not least, we were delighted to exhibit our jewellery at yesterdays, Irish Examiner Autum/Winter Fashion Show at the Rose of Tralee.

This Week at Orla Murphy Jewellery

What an exciting week!

The highlight of the week was our slot on TV3's Ireland AM. Sinead Desmond was genuinely blown away by the price and quality of all that we have to offer, and the reaction from the stylish ladies of Ireland has been fantastic.

News of the online store continues to spread. Julie Cobb from Style Fish had huge praise for our collection, while Caroline Ryan of Style By Caroline offered her readers a competition to win a necklace from Orla Murphy Jewellery. We are delighted too, to be featured in the Boutique Guide of Chiconomics.ie and hope that the news will continue to spread.

My favourite piece on the website this week is one of our new hinged bracelets. Easy to wear, very dramatic and affordable at only €29.

Add Some Bling with a Cocktail Ring

The Coctktail Ring is a large, dramatic ring which gained popularity during the period of prohibiton in the US. It was worn at illegal drinks parties and flaunted the fact that not only were you drinking illegally but you were doing it with style!

Thankfully, these days we don't need illegal drinks parties as an excuse to wear bold, beautiful rings. Whether you want to make a statement in your work wear or want to dazzle in your evening attire the simple addition of a cocktail ring is sure to get you noticed - for all the right reasons!

Often worn on the ring finger of the right hand - Cocktail Rings also look fantastic worn on the index finger of either hand.
