All of my life, I've been well aware that having a September birthday is the best thing in the world. I'm sorry to those of you who have been dealt birthdays during any of the other eleven months of the year, as unfortunately you really have dipped out IMO. September almost always sees more sunshine... Continue Reading →
When did we forget about bracelets? I am obviously delighted that more and more people seem to be buying and experimenting with jewellery. Accessorising is always my favourite part of getting ready and I’m a massive advocate of more is more. The arrival of piercing bars like Maria Tash and Astrid & Miyu has meant... Continue Reading →
Valentines, Gal-entines, Pal-entines... call it what you like, but when it comes to jewellery, I want it all to be mine. I'm a huge advocate of celebration, and have said it before on JfB. If a great chunk of our lives is taken up with commuting on packed tubes, paying bills and being caught without... Continue Reading →
The best things in these cold, cold months are chunky. That's just a fact. Chunky woolly jumpers, chunky frost proof boots, chunky bars of chocolate and, it would seem, chunky rings are really taking centre stage. Sometimes delicate jewellery doesn't quite cut the mustard and get the attention it deserves come the darker months, and... Continue Reading →
The collective opinion this year seemed to be that the C-word rolled around a little too keenly. As far as I'm concerned, we spend about 60% of the year in the UK (if not more) in the cold and drizzly weather, so if we can make that time simultaneously sparkly and filled with the joy...

Statement earrings are (in my opinion) probably the most impactful item of jewellery you can wear. The whole purpose of them is to draw the eye, attract attention and pull a would-be disjointed outfit together - or take it in a whole new direction entirely. I'm a huge fan of a big old earring; be... Continue Reading →
Something must have been in the sparkling water at breakfast and coffee meetings this year for my favourite jewellery brands and influencers. All of a sudden, this autumn has seen some seriously covetable collaborations between jewellery brands and style influencers, turning said bloggers/vloggers/grammers into jewellery designers overnight, and the results are pretty dreamy. Though it... Continue Reading →
It's all very well wearing great jewellery in the summer against bare necks and wrists. Your hair is flung up into a care free top knot come pineapple style upon your head and large beaded earrings steal the show no problem. But what happens when autumn and winter come around, eh? Layers of polo necks... Continue Reading →
Autumn is officially upon us. There’s been all sorts of rumours of an ‘Indian Summer’ but I read that technically an Indian Summer isn’t even a thing unless there was a frost first which we certainly haven’t had and so I think this year we’ve just had a bit more of an extended summer. Which... Continue Reading →
The jewellery industry is of course budding with jewellery designers who have been successful for generations and decades gone by. You could recognise a Cartier Love Bangle, or a Van Cleef & Arpels signature clover necklace from the other end of Oxford Street. But I think it's the new designers, and those who are just...
