What are your go-to jewellery brands?
A pair of chunky earrings is non-negotiable for me – I feel slightly underdressed without them. While I may be biased, my forever favourites are the Tabs and Kimmy styles from my collection with Soru. They’ve sold out (tragically), but Soru still does statement pieces brilliantly. Elsewhere, I’m all about rings that don’t try too hard but still make an impact – simple bands, interesting textures, stacked up in a way that feels a bit accidental, but isn’t. I dip into Pandora and One Wild One, and I’m a magpie at vintage markets. Etsy is another weakness. I've picked up a few fun personalised rings there.
How would you describe your jewellery style?
I treat jewellery – especially earrings – as the final touch of an outfit. They can completely change the mood, which is why I rarely leave the house without them. Lately, I’ve been firmly in my silver era, though I still like mixing metals.
Oldest and newest piece in your collection?
My oldest pieces are a simple gold necklace and a set of bangles passed down from my mum and grandmother. Jewellery is such a big part of Indian culture and, while they aren't necessarily styles I wear daily, those pieces carry a history that nothing new can replicate. My newest buy is my Etsy shell necklace – playful, slightly silly and surprisingly versatile – it's the piece I throw on when an outfit needs a little something extra.

What are your go-to jewellery brands?
Dorsey is one of my absolute favourites. I love the way they’ve completely reframed diamond jewellery – pieces that could feel traditionally dressy suddenly look impossibly cool and effortless. It’s all tennis necklaces, lab-grown stones and vintage-inspired silhouettes, styled with tanks, denim and that undone ease that feels very modern. The whole aesthetic of the brand really inspires me.
I also love Kimaï. Their approach to lab-grown diamonds feels incredibly fresh and contemporary, and the designs strike that perfect balance between timeless and directional. Everything feels thoughtful, elevated and slightly unexpected.
Catbird has been a favourite for years. My engagement ring is from there, and I’ve always gravitated towards their delicate fine pieces – the kind of jewellery that becomes part of you rather than the focal point of an outfit. Their chains and barely-there details have this quiet beauty I always come back to for everyday wear.
How would you describe your jewellery style?
Minimal, definitely. I’m very happy leaving the house with almost no jewellery on, so when I do wear it, I like it to feel subtle and considered. A fine chain, simple silver hoops, delicate earrings – pieces that quietly complement an outfit rather than dominate it. I’m not naturally drawn to statement jewellery; I prefer things that feel understated and personal.
That said, I do love the occasional standout detail – especially rope-chain textures and pendant necklaces, which add character without feeling overpowering. For me, jewellery should elevate a look rather than become the whole conversation.
What’s the oldest and newest piece in your collection?
The newest piece is a delicate necklace from Aurum + Grey – a fine chain with the tiniest ‘B’ for my daughter. It’s so simple and elegant, but incredibly meaningful at the same time. I love jewellery that tells a story in an understated way.
The oldest is probably a bracelet I bought from Catbird almost 20 years ago on a trip to New York. I visited their Brooklyn store and completely fell in love with the brand. It’s an incredibly fine bracelet that catches the light in the softest way – delicate, understated and something I never take off.
The most sentimental piece I own, though, is a tiny silver pinky ring my mum had made after my granny passed away. She melted down silver from my granny’s bracelets and turned it into this beautifully simple ring. I love the idea of taking something with so much history and reworking it into a piece that feels modern enough to wear every day.

Founding Managing Editor
What are your go-to jewellery brands?
I’ve always loved discovering independent designers. A lot of my jewellery is custom made or pieces we’ve collected together over the years, which makes everything feel really personal. I’m also obsessed with rummaging through antique markets and fairs for one-off finds – never overlook Kempton if you’re jewellery hunting.
Lucy Delius has long been a favourite for elevated everyday pieces, and I also love Monica Vinader’s new Siren Diamond collection, which feels modern yet timeless. For really good gold hoops, Jenny Bird and Aurum + Grey are always brands I come back to.
How would you describe your jewellery style?
Gold, always. I’m naturally drawn to warm tones and timeless investment pieces. I still like to mix things up occasionally with silver for a more fashion-led look, but gold definitely suits my skin tone best and is what I reach for daily. My style is minimal and everyday-focused, but layered. I want pieces that feel polished enough to wear constantly rather than save for special occasions.
What’s the oldest and newest piece in your jewellery wardrobe?
My oldest pieces are probably the custom designs my husband and I created together early on in our relationship. They’re the pieces I’ll never stop wearing. The older I get, the more I believe in investing in jewellery you genuinely love and will wear forever, rather than constantly swapping things out.

Fashion Broadcaster & Editor
What are your go-to jewellery brands?
I have 15 ear piercings, so when it comes to jewellery I always start with them. I get so much joy out of creating the perfect earring stack; I love mixing and matching styles and wearing odd earrings in each ear. My go-to for huggies and studs are Scream Pretty and Astrid & Miyu. For more statement and sculptural pieces, I love Missoma and Sézane. I always have gold hoops to hand – my favourite pair are from One Dame Lane. For rings, Pilgrim, Pandora and Jewells are amazing for stacking.
How would you describe your jewellery style?
More is definitely more for me. From stacking earrings across every piercing – sometimes even doubling up in the same hole – to layering bangles and bracelets, I love pieces that make a statement. I grew up wearing gold jewellery, though in recent years I’ve embraced mixed metals, especially when it comes to rings. And on holiday, I lean fully into playful jewellery – think colourful earrings and bright layered necklaces that perfectly complement my beach wardrobe.
Oldest and newest piece in your collection?
In Ghanaian culture, it’s tradition for girls to have their ears pierced before they turn one, often alongside wearing a gold bangle from a young age. Jewellery has always felt deeply personal to me because it’s something rooted in both style and heritage. While the bangles don’t fit anymore, they are lovely keepsakes. As for the newest piece, I recently bought an oversized hammered golf bangle from Sézane that I am obsessed with.
