The jewellery I wear everyday and what it means to me

They say diamonds are a girl's best friend...

While my jewellery choices tend to differ day by day, I do have my firm favourites that I can’t live without (not to be dramatic or anything!) I don’t feel like ‘me’ unless I’m wearing a stack of bracelets, at least two necklaces and my top favourite rings.

My everyday necklaces are both so personal to me that I tend to rarely take them off. The first is my Tiffancy and Co. necklace that I got for my 18th birthday. It was a present from my mum and dad which they engraved with my initials. This necklace means the world to me as it’s the most personal piece of jewellery I own and it acts as a constant reminder of who I am and where I’ve come from. My second everyday necklace is from Oliver Bonas and is a silver cherry pendant. This was also a birthday present but this time, it was from my 19th birthday - just a few months ago. I love anything cherry related (phone cases, jewellery, prints, I love it all!) so I just knew I had to have this when I saw it in the shop. It serves as another reminder for me to enjoy what I love and remember who I am.

"While it's not the glitziest ring in the world, it reminds me of family."

You won’t ever catch me without my favourite rings! The first ring is one I made myself about 10 years ago at a ring making workshop in Newcastle. It’s been with me since I was about 8 years old and has been on my ring finger ever since. It was created alongside my mum, auntie and cousin. We all share the same ring but with a slightly different pattern. While it’s not the glitziest ring in the world, it reminds me of family. It also carries the extra thrill of knowing that I created it myself from just a tiny piece of silver all those years ago. The second ring of mine is a Pandora wishbone ring. This was a 17th birthday present (there’s clearly a birthday theme when it comes to my jewellery!) and it’s a beautiful, gemstone ring that has been a favourite of mine for the past few years.

When it comes to bracelets, I can’t just wear a singular one; I need a whole stack! I have so many bracelets that get changed out day by day. Its impossible for me to choose my everyday favourites. However, my current favourites in my rotation are a pear-shaped gemstone bracelet from Pandora, a heart shaped bracelet connected with two chains from Evry Jewels and my personalised charm bracelet which I made in Paris on my first holiday with my boyfriend.

" I love wearing multiple pieces that are connected with so many memories and emotions."

To me, jewellery is the ultimate form of self-expression. I love wearing multiple pieces that are connected with so many memories and emotions. There’s something so personal about jewellery that you just can’t achieve with clothing!
