I’ve always liked to have a look at my horoscope but never really took much notice of it–telling me that I’m a classic Capricorn who works too much is not exactly news to me. But then, 18 months ago, when our lives became completely unpredictable and the world turned upside down, I found myself engrossed in them, to such an extent that I’ve now even got an app that delivers a specific-to-my-birth-time horoscrope every day. No, I don’t have a problem, but do feel free to psychoanalyse me and what my behaviour means when it comes to understanding the world. I would like to point out though that I’m not the only one. Earlier this year the BBC reported how there’s been a boom in people taking an interesting in astrology. You Deserve to Make Money ...

Is it crazy to start thinking about the next year? I don’t think so. I hate to break it to you but there are only 100 days until Christmas, which means there are only a few more days than that until 2022. Yes, I know. Anyway, the reason I’m writing about the coming new year is that I’m thinking about new trends and in particular jewellery trends for 2022. Ever since the pandemic started and we were hooked to our computers and Zoom meetings, various luxury outlets reported a rise in sales of jewellery but in particular fine jewellery that’s great for wearing everyday. The idea being that people wanted to elevate their more casual WFH looks with chic necklaces and earrings—the Zoom-friendly options.  You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates O...

As someone who spent most of their pocket money on mood rings, tattoo necklaces and plastic bangles during the late ’90s and early ‘00s, I’m here to tell you that most of those trends are back thanks to Gen Z. The Y2K trends that have made a comeback among 20-somethings and teens are often nostalgic and sometimes scary for those of us who experienced these trends the first time around. But I think I might be missing the point. After carefully examining the Gen Z jewellery trends currently booming, I realised that they all have one major component in common: joy.  That’s right—in the face of quite a weird 18 months, these jewellery trends so loved by the younger generation are actually incredibly fun, which is exactly what we need right now. And I...

For the longest time, dainty layering pieces have ruled the jewellery scene. Everything from rings and necklaces and even earrings have been given the stacked treatment, with delicate chains, minimal bands and simple studs becoming best sellers for many brands. However, we think the tide is about to shift, as we’re seeing more and more of our fashion friends embracing chunky, more playful jewellery once more—specifically chunky bangles.

Nothing has the power to elevate your look quite like well-chosen accessories. Handbags can add a final flourish, while a simple shoe change can create an entirely new aesthetic. As such, accessories should never be overlooked or under-appreciated. Of course, we give every accessory its due consideration before we make that all-important purchase, but, in our opinion, none require more thought than watches. Watches are personal and become an intrinsic part of your signature style—something that people instantly notice about you as you rarely take them off—so it’s certainly worth putting in the effort to find the perfect one. That, however, doesn’t mean that you can’t have some fun with your watch selection—in fact, bolder watches can have a bigger pay-off and will make more of an impact wh...

Born to reinvent the pearl and redefine what it means to wear pearls today, Olivia & Pearl’s beautiful and sustainably made pieces are inspired by women who break the rules, sartorially or otherwise. using only the highest quality pearls, and set in gold and silver, this is jewellery you’ll love and treasure for a lifetime. And seeing as it’s June, which just so happens to be the month of the pearl, we couldn’t think of a better time to introduce you to the brand and its impressive array of pearl-adorned jewellery. Although Olivia & Pearl has several collections to choose from, our favourite is its Once Upon a Pearl edit. Just like you, every pearl is different and tells its own unique story, and at Olivia & Pearl, you’re encouraged to write y...

We all know that sales of joggers, skincare, candles, and homeware have soared over the last year. Still, it might interest you to learn that jewellery (particularly fine jewellery) has also been a consistent performer in the retail sphere over the previous 12 months. And I think I know why. Although I may have given in to the temptation to lounge in my leggings and comfiest knits of late, there was one sartorial ritual I refused to let slip: my penchant for wearing jewellery. I’ve always been something of a magpie, drawn to anything that sparkles or gleams. As such, I’ve become a bit of a collector of pretty pieces, everything from trending high-street steals to gold-plated staples from mid-end brands to a couple of unique vintage pieces I’ve sourced. And you k...

Plus, as you can tell by the name, there’s a huge emphasis on sustainability, something important to consider when buying jewellery in the current climate. All the pieces are created using 100% 14k recycled yellow and white gold, so the quality remains— these are, after all, pieces made to be worn day in day out and not saved for special occasions. And they also exclusively use lab-grown diamonds.  If you haven’t come across lab-grown diamonds before, they’re basically the future of fine jewellery in a conscious world. The science bit? They’re physically, chemically and aesthetically identical to mined diamonds but created above the ground from real diamond seeds, made under the same conditions that occur beneath the earth’s surface, which makes them ethically the wiser choice.
