I think most of the things I know about life in general, come from my mum. Whether it's how to make something, what to wear to places or even how to do my laundry properly; I turn to her for everything. And it doesn’t matter how old you are,  I think I’m not alone in saying that from time to time we still turn to our wonderful mum’s for advice on life.

One of the things we’re super lucky to know is the insightful jewellery tips our mum’s have passed down to us, and it really goes to show mama does know best when it comes to anything. 

As a thank you to all the mum’s out there that do the most for us, we’d like to share some of the jewellery tips from our very own mum’s!


  1. Self Care - Don't wait for someone else to buy you the piece. If you love it, buy it!



  2. Mix Metals - A Silver family heirloom can still be worn with your Gold jewellery collection! It's all about mixing metals!

 

3. Versatility Is Key - Try styling a piece in different ways to avoid getting bored of it.

 

4. Your Perfect Fit - Find your perfect ring size so that you are comfortable wearing your rings all day long!

 

5. Be You! - Wear pieces that YOU love! If you feel good, you look good!

The obsession of creating your very own ‘capsule wardrobe’ is on the rise, and it's no surprise we are also extending this concept to how we accessorise ourselves with jewellery.

What is a capsule wardrobe you might ask? A capsule wardrobe is essentially owning a limited number of clothing items, but being able to create endless looks.

Now for jewellery, this concept means owning a number of must-have pieces that will last a long time and transcend trends.

So, we’ve curated the 5 pieces you should own in your jewellery collection that you can cherish forever.


Jet Earrings

A huggie earring for everyday wear is something that should be in your jewellery box. A best seller for a reason, simply put on our Jet Earrings before going out the door…

A-Z Necklaces

Personal, yet cute, you can’t go wrong with a letter necklace of your initial. The A-Z Necklace or Petite A-Z Necklace is a personal touch to any look that you can wear all the time.

The Tennis Bracelet

Sparkle the night away with our best selling Tennis Bracelet. Perfect for a soiree or special event, our Tennis Bracelet comes in a mini and petite version too!

 


Elle Ring

Every jewellery box needs a simple everyday ring to pop on for a touch of sparkle. With all around sparkle and shine, the Elle Ring has a classic design that can be worn alone or stacked with your favourite rings.

 

Fira Earrings

A crowd favourite - the Fira Earrings is a classic and timeless piece that can take your look from day to night.

What is International Women’s Day?

IWD was on the 8th of March, and is a day to recognise and celebrate women in relation to social, economic and political achievements.

This year’s theme according to the International Women's Day organisation was a focus on the topic ‘Invest in women: Accelerate progress’, in the pursuit of equality. In honour of this, we of course wanted to celebrate the wonderful women that make up our amazing team and help run the jewellery brand you know and love today!

Throughout the week we did our very own LinkedIn photo shoot so the team are able to get some quality professional photos they can use to update their own LinkedIn profiles! 

Then on International Women’s Day, the team finished the week off with a Lunch at Al Aseel!  

See below a recap of the week and BTS of our LinkedIn shoot.

 

The Setup
This was setup in our very own head office space in Marrickville. (Yes we have a great office space)



Natasha our Photographer getting the camera ready!

 

Ofcourse we have Baby Emilia joining in the fun!



We also celebrate 100k Orders!!! Shopify gave us this little Shopify trophy! (We actually reached 100k orders in 2021, but still great!)

New year, new you? As we are well into the first few weeks of the new year a lot of us may have already begun working on our New Year’s Resolutions… 

Did you know that 38% of people create New Year's Resolutions for themselves each year? The top resolutions involve improving fitness and diet. However, 80% of the resolutions we create don’t even make it to February!

Could this mean our resolutions may actually be out of reach? Well if you're looking for some achievable resolutions to adopt this year we’ve got you! We’ve put together a list of our top 5 best new year resolutions that will surely be easy to stick to. 

1. Get your 8+hours of Sleep

Sleep is definitely not for the weak - in fact it’s the complete opposite, the average person should aim to at least have 8+ hours of sleep each night. Getting your full 8 hours of sleep means you wake up the next day feeling more energised, improves your mood and improves memory!

2. Budget $$$

Having a budget in place allows you to manage your cash a lot better, pay bills on time and save for big purchases in the future. Planning to travel somewhere this year? Get that budget ready to go!

3. Read 5 books

Pick up that book you have been saying you wanted to read! Reading helps your vocabulary, reduces stress and gives your brain a good workout! You can even head to the beach or your local park so there’s no distractions from your daily life.

4. Travel somewhere and not post it on social media

This one might be a hard one, but great for staying in the present and actually enjoying yourself while you are away. Take your pics and save them to upload once you're back from your trip. Your travel buddy will thank you!

5. Clean out your closet/ declutter room

Practice cleaning out your closet and space more often - whether you do this monthly or quarterly this is a great way to help clear and make space for new things! It’s time to let go of things that don’t fit you - we know we need to.

What are your top resolutions for the year?

TIP 1: Give your Jewellery a Home

The first tip is an easy one, just make sure you have a designated spot to house your Jewellery away from dirt and from direct sunlight. We recommend our Soho Collection - crafted in a lush, velvet material with compartments perfect for organising your favourites.

 

 

TIP 2: Remove your Jewellery (as needed)

Remove your jewellery when washing your hands, exercising, sleeping, showering or at the beach. Although it is designed to wear everyday, in order to keep your jewellery in the best condition possible, it is important to avoid coming in contact with any foreign substances that may wear it down.

 

 

TIP 3: Cleaning your Jewellery 

To make sure your jewellery maintains its shine, simply polish it with a microfibre cloth. You can also use a sunglasses cloth. We recommend polishing your jewellery after each wear to prevent build up of dirt and sweat. Our Polishing Cloth might just do the trick!

Have you ever at one point looked up your horoscope hoping to know what’s in store for you? Or been told that you were being such a Scorpio? Whatever it is, there are many ways people often relate or interpret what zodiac’s mean for them.

 

What are Zodiac signs and where did they come from? 

Zodiacs were derived from star constellations in the sky that the Babylonians created. Following their 12-month calendar, they divided these constellations into 12 (one for each month) and assigned a character, name and meaning to each. And although this does seem like a little while ago, Zodiac’s very much relevant for many to this day.


What is the meaning behind Zodiac signs? 

Zodiac star signs are what people can turn to for a number of different reasons. In past and present times, it can go from symbolising your connection with the universe, a way for you to express yourself, reflect your individuality, determine your specific traits and attributes to even finding out if you and the person you were dating were going to be compatible! Insane right? 

 

Zodiac Jewellery 

If you are someone who loves to show your personality through Jewellery - then Zodiac Jewellery is for you. Zodiac Jewellery is something very personal, sentimental and unique - wearing zodiac jewellery could be the way for you to express yourself, your style, and of course would also make the perfect gift for anyone.

As we’re all thriving in the era of scrolling through Tiktok, Instagram stories, binge watching Netflix and navigating through pop culture - our choices in fashion have definitely evolved over the last few years.

However, it’s no secret that Jewellery still continues to be the epitome of joy - in fact, there isn’t really anything a little sparkle can’t fix! (or most things at least). Jewellery as an accessory can also be regarded as something more personal for most. 

With this in mind, being on trend has never been easier. From Pearls to Chain Necklaces, Personalisation and Cuffs - get acquainted with the top 4 trends in jewellery below!

 

‘PEARLFECT’ - Thanks to Sofia Richie’s stunning wedding we’ve all had a glimpse of on Tiktok - Classic, timeless and retro Pearls are definitely making a comeback! Look elegant and refined in our Hayden Bracelet, Minka Ring, Claire Earrings or Valentina Necklace.

 

 

LET’S GET PERSONAL - Personalised Jewellery is one of those things that can’t really go out of trend. It makes a great gift and a great way to show your personality (yes we’re taking notes from Emily in Paris). Win at gift gifting or treat yourself with our A-Z Collection or Zodiac Collection.

 

 

CHAIN ME UP - Chain Necklaces are literally taking the world by storm right now - and we can probably agree that the best thing about it is you can layer, layer and layer! Whether you like a more chunkier one or a more everyday one, this is something to keep an eye out for if you want to be at the forefront of fashion. Here’s our Bernadette Chain spotted on the Runway with Australian Designer, Michael Lo Sordo.

 

 

CUFF IT - Cuffs have become an accessory definitely worth investing in. A staple piece making a comeback from the past seen on runways and celebs - you can wear it how you want nowadays! Stack with other bracelets on your wrist or make a statement and wear on your arm. Like Beyonce’s song, ‘Cuff it’ with our Lumi Cuff, Signature Cuff or Hunter Cuff!

Mother’s Day is known to be a special time to shower our Mum’s or the Mother figure we look up to with love, but most of all to say thank you - whether this would be through a gift, flowers, time spent together or simply a nice message on a card.

But we know it can also be a difficult time for many as everyone’s journey through motherhood is different and everyone might have a different Mother Figure in their life. 

So we asked our wonderful followers on Instagram what their special message would be to say Thank you to the ‘Mum’ in their life. 

What special message do you have for your ‘Mum’ this Mothers Day?

 “Thank you for supporting me always and providing me with unconditional love”    - Mikayla.N
