The Boho Chic Vibe ✌🏽: A Journey through style and history

Boho chic jewellery is more than just an accessory- it's all about embracing freedom, celebrating your unique style, and mixing things up with a blend of laid-back and elegant vibes. At Dainty London, we love how boho chic brings together the whimsical charm of bohemian and hippie cultures with a modern twist that feels totally fresh.

Where did Boho Chic begin?

The Bohemian Roots:

To get the full picture of boho chic, let’s go back to 19th-century Europe. Bohemians were the original free spirits- artists and creatives who lived outside the box, mixing different cultural influences into their fashion. Their style was all about rejecting the norm and doing things their way, which laid the groundwork for the boho look we love today.

The Hippie Connection:

Fast forward to the 1960s and 70s, and the hippie movement took those bohemian vibes to the next level. Hippies were all about peace, love, and harmony, and you could see that in their fashion- think flowing clothes, handmade accessories, and natural materials. This era really shaped what we now know as boho chic, blending that free-spirited energy with a love for nature.

The Boho Chic Evolution: Casual Meets Classy

Boho chic is all about striking the perfect balance between carefree bohemian style and a touch of modern elegance. It’s a mix of casual and classy that lets you look effortlessly cool while still feeling polished. Whether you’re going for a laid-back day look or something more dressed up.

The Essentials of Boho Chic Jewellery

Earthy Vibes:

At the heart of boho chic jewellery are natural materials that connect you to the earth. Think leather, wood, feathers, and shells. At Dainty London, we love using recycled sterling silver and ethically sourced gemstones to create pieces inspired by the land, sea, and everything in between- for example, the Giselle Ring and the Large Hemera necklace.

Gemstones with Good Energy:

Gemstones aren’t just pretty- they also bring good vibes! ✌🏽 Many boho chic pieces feature stones that are believed to channel positive energy and help you feel more in tune with yourself.

How to Rock the Boho Chic Look

Layer It Up:

In the world of boho chic, more is definitely more! Layering necklaces, stacking bracelets, and piling on rings is where the magic happens. It’s all about telling your story through your jewellery. For a perfectly layered look, check out our Mini Barnacle Necklace, the Giselle Necklace and the Pearl Necklace for an incredible necklace layering combo.

Mix and Match:

Boho chic is all about mixing and matching with confidence. Play around with different styles, materials, and colours to create a look that’s all your own. The best part? There are no rules- just have fun with it!

Vintage Treasures:

One of the coolest things about boho chic is how timeless it is. Mixing vintage jewellery with more modern pieces adds a whole new level of character to your style. Plus, it’s a great way to make your look feel totally unique.
