As I type, I’m sitting at home in my bedroom and working in heeled knee-high boots, a fitted dress, and a vintage lariat pendant. I feel like myself (because I’ve never really “done” casual all too well), but I do feel rather silly at the same time. There was just something in that last flourish of a fancy necklace that tipped my WFH outfit into super-smart territory. I’ve experienced the same feeling when I’ve put on a pair of statement earrings or done something overly styled with my hair. So that’s why the allure of a new, altogether more subtle accessorising trend has piqued my interest: gold chunky rings. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

It might seem counter-intuitive that people have invested in jewellery during the pandemic. But that’s exactly what has happened. Along with beauty products, sweatpants, and slippers, sales of jewellery have increased. Okay, I’ve never worked in fashion during a pandemic, but I can see exactly why we’ve been more ready to buy jewellery than before—they’re small luxuries that make us feel good about ourselves on a daily basis. And when you can’t get excited about wearing your favourite dress, your neck, ears, hands, and wrists become the places to show off something you love. Liane Wiggins, head of womenswear buying at MatchesFashion, revealed during the S/S 2021 trend report that the retailer has seen an increase in jewellery, “as more peo...
On the whole, jewellery never goes out of style. No matter the decade or the trend, the unique designs of earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and rings have served as both statement pieces and daily accessories. Whether pearl, gold, silver, rose gold, diamond, or something else entirely, a good jewellery piece can stand alone, completing your outfit and adding the right amount of elegance and sparkle. As much as we love our day-to-day pieces, though, we’re always on the hunt for new ones to add to our collection, ones we will hopefully be able to pass on as family heirlooms. And so, more often than not, to acquire a piece that will outlast trends and generations, you have to invest in designer jewellery brands. Whether it’s a renowned Cartier Love Bracelet or a classic Mi...
Global cases of domestic violence rose by 20 percent in 2020, with one-fifth of all crimes reported in the UK’s first lockdown involving abuse in the home. With many victims still trapped inside with their abuser, British jewellery brand Alighieri responded with a dedicated capsule collection of five necklaces, with 100 percent proceeds going towards domestic abuse support charity Refuge. Alighieri’s founder Rosh Mahtani began a partnership with Refuge in May after hearing about the rise in domestic abuse cases. Since then, the brand donated 10 percent of online sales to Refuge and raised over £65,000 for the charity. To take the support further, Alighieri is launching a charity jewellery collection of five pieces to mark Refuge’s 50th anniversary. The first piece of the ...

We’re going to take an educated guess that Missoma’s new autumn collection is about to be all over your Instagram feeds.

When it comes to getting dressed everyday, I’m looking for easy wins right now. I’m trying to steer clear of just going to the same loose-fitting pair of Ganni joggers everyday and comfy knit. It’s not that these items are brilliant, they are, but during my working week I know I need to up the ante when it comes to my wardrobe—it helps me feel more like I’m actually working and therefore it makes me more productive. One way that helps is putting on a bit of jewellery is one of the best ways to feel more put together. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

A few years ago, there was a real boom in the “curated ear” look. Thanks to high-profile piecers such as Maria Tash, everyone was sporting some sort of additional piercings on their ears. While the trend definitely went a bit quiet for a couple of years, it’s recently picked up again. Where did I spot this? Instagram, of course. First I saw Who What Wear columnist Monikh wearing the look, then Nicole Richie (always an arbiter of great taste) and then Amy Lefévre, who easily has one of the coolest Instagram accounts right now, with a great selection of earrings adorning her lobes right up to the helix. The trick, from what I’ve gleaned, is to go for a variety of different styles of earrings. From studs to cuffs as well as mini hoops and simple long earrings...
Millie Bobby Brown codesigned a jewellery collection with Pandora Me inspired by some of her sweetest memories of the summer. The Stranger Things star launches her five-piece capsule collection exclusively at Pandora on Thursday, 2 July. Millie recently became an ambassador for the iconic jewellery brand, and her exciting new collection includes four dangle charms and one earring. The colourful charms feature a pink flamingo, pink starfish, yellow-and-green pineapple, and a blue ocean wave, where the earring is a single stud with a pink sea turtle — because one of Millie’s favourite seaside activities is watching turtles swim. Of the charms, Millie says that “all of the symbols I chose are my absolute favourite parts of summer, and each charm holds a fun memory or meaning to me...
Pandora is pledging that all of its metals will be sustainably sourced by 2025. The iconic jewellery brand plans to make a full shift from 71 percent to 100 percent recycled silver and gold within the next five years, in an effort to reduce its CO2 output and become more aligned with the needs of our planet. “Sustainability and quality have always been core values for Pandora, and since we know that our customers care about where and how our products are made, we have been using recycled metals in our designs for years,” says Stephen Fairchild, Pandora’s chief creative officer in a statement for POPSUGAR. “We design our jewellery to last knowing that our fans keep their Pandora jewellery for a long time.
