Create A Focal Point

If you have a statement gold piece (e.g., a chunky necklace or large earrings), keep other jewellery minimal to let it shine.

Is gold or silver jewellery more popular in the UK right now?

You’re either a silver or gold girl, and we get it. According to Google search data, gold is currently leading compared to silver jewellery searches in the UK.

Searches for ‘gold chains’, ‘gold earrings’, and ‘gold necklaces’ consistently rank very high. There’s also a clear preference for the warm, traditional look of yellow gold.

That said, the trend of mixing metals continues to increase confirm that people are not strictly adhering to one over the other but rather enjoying the versatility of combining them.

Why choose when you can have both? Mix and matched metal jewellery, designed to do it all.
