The trending nature of jewellery can quickly mean that pieces with symbolic significance can lose their meaning as people choose them for their aesthetic appeal. A chilli motif is a beloved symbol within Italian culture, and one that brings with it a playful aesthetic that coincides perfectly with its deep meaning. Embrace your love for the culture that brings us some of our favourite modern-day principles, and let the energy from this motif carry its way throughout your wardrobe and your life.
The Italians have shared some extraordinary aspects of their rich history, filled with stunning cultural traditions. The symbol of the chilli has been recorded synonymously with ancient Napoli, the traditional “Cornicello”, a constant found throughout southern Italy. The history of its symbolism is deeply tied to good fortune. However, it has evolved to become a protective element that prevents negative energy from the wearers or embracers of this symbol. It acts in a similar vein to our Evil Eye necklace, with both pieces bringing protection and a watchful energy to the wearer.
It’s an age-old desire for people to be protected, with watchful eyes acting as guardians over those who desire to invite their energy into their lives. As more space is created in modern society for wellness and spiritual guardianship, talisman trends continue to grow each year. These meaningful motifs not only bring aesthetic variety to our wardrobe but also provide a strong sense of spiritual well-being. A red chilli necklace is one example of how the intrinsic desire to be protected from negativity can create a trend that people both spiritually and aesthetically love. Pairing this with a birthstone bracelet is a perfect way to add more colour to your accessory wardrobe, all whilst embracing the spiritual benefits of our AAA-grade gemstones.
There’s nothing like an initial necklace to create a personalised stack that is uniquely you. Your name, or the initials of the loved ones you keep close to you, can make a stack that allows you to reflect on the meaning that these letters bring to your life, all whilst adding a stunning accessory to your collection. Layering a trendy chilli pepper necklace with an initial necklace is as simple as ensuring that the pieces hold a few centimetres of variance to avoid dangling, and to allow each piece to have its own space to shine. Our full necklace range comes with a 5cm chain adjuster, allowing you to choose the lengths that best suit your aesthetic. We recommend adjusting these pieces so that your initial necklace sits slightly shorter, creating space for the chillis to dangle.
Creating a custom chain bracelet full of meaning is simple with our beautiful range of charm bracelets. If you’re in doubt about the charms you’re looking to include on your charm bracelet, or if you’d like to create a customised piece, reach out to our customer service team, who can help with any chilli-related queries.
Long, warm summer days call for vibrant accessories, and nothing is more synonymous with embracing a European summer spirit than a piece of jewellery renowned for its historical Italian influence. The perfect chain necklace length to layer over your summer dress depends on your neck type and the neckline of the dress. For pieces with a higher neckline, a shorter length is always stunning, as it showcases the piece that effortlessly layers over a conservative look. Lower cuts pair stunningly with a longer length chain, as the open space provides a perfect backdrop to allow the popular chilli necklace to shine. Each necklace and bracelet in our collection comes with a 5cm chain allowance, providing the perfect adjuster to choose your ideal length.

The perfect masculine stack isn’t complete without a bold bracelet, and our range for men contains pieces that every accessory lover will adore.
