Known for dressing It girls and celebrities alike, Young’s decision to style the jewellery of iconic designer Elsa Peretti was a natural choice. Much like Elsa, Young is famous for making women feel like themselves—a talent that shines through in each look from her shoot with food artist Laila Gohar. “What I like most about Elsa’s work is the way it references nature while still feeling luxurious, glamorous and refined,” says Young. After months quarantining upstate and reconnecting with the natural world, Young creates the perfect recipe for style, through sustenance and some of Elsa’s most iconic pieces.

A Peretti classic, these traditional red lacquer over Japanese hardwood pieces echo nature’s most vibrant colours. “I love them most with black, white and khaki,” says Young. “They’re incredibly elegant with simple, minimal day looks.” 

“It needs space to really shine,” says Young of this incredible Elsa Peretti® Mesh necklace. Distinctively sculptural, “the emerald drop is best worn with an open neckline, like a jacket or a strapless dress,” she adds. 

“I like when big pieces can be worn with ease,” says Young. For statement jewellery that dresses up as well as it dresses down, the stylist suggests an Elsa Peretti® Bone cuff. “They’re my favourite when worn in a mismatched pair,” says the stylist. “I love them with a t-shirt or an evening gown.” 

“Wear them every day, all the time,” says Young of Elsa Peretti® Color by the Yard® designs. “Pair them with an open collar or v-neckline,” she adds, “so you can see the skin through the stones.”
