 traditional techniques and works with precious metals and
 gemstones. Having fostered a passion for life drawing as a student
 at Wimbledon College of Arts, she now incorporates the female form
 into many of her pieces, juxtaposing the natural beauty and
 serenity of the human body with the strength and durability of
 metal.

Diamonds may have long been referred to as “a girl’s best
 friend”, but it’s impossible to ignore the ethics surrounding their
 production, not to mention the accompanying eye-watering price tag.
 Setting out to solve both these problems, Lark & Berry launched
 in 2018, disrupting the traditional market with “cultured diamonds”
 – ultimately, lab-grown gems that are identical to their mined
 counterparts. The brand has quickly gained cult status for its
 gorgeous stacking rings, ear studs and cuffs, which now decorate
 the lobes and fingers of the in-the-know fashion crowd worldwide.
 This Valentine’s Day, find them popping up at ME London where for one day only
 guests who book in with a friend will receive matching half-price
 piercings, while for the rest of the event you’ll get a free
 piercing for every jewel purchased. See you there.

 earring or go all out with their layered necklaces for a look that

Statement earrings that don’t weigh a ton always top our fashion
 wish list. This New Zealand brand’s playful
 earrings are the perfect way to add a little oomph to a jumper and
 jeans kind of day. All set in light-weight resin, Mars’
 gold-speckled heart-shaped hoops, pearlescent swirled studs and
 glitter-drop earrings are as fun to wear as they are to say;
 “electric squiggle” and “pearly bean studs” are among our
 favourites. The brand also offers one style of sunglasses, cutting
 a confident and chic shape – come for the jewellery and stay for
 the eyewear.

Minimalism may be the trend of the moment but the adage “less is
 more” definitely does not hold true at Retrouvai. While it’s true
 that gold and diamonds are timeless, the Canadian brand’s bold
 colours and fun shapes offer luxury with a contemporary sense of
 humour; think gumball rings in 14k-yellow gold, polka dotted with
 lapis gemstone and white diamonds or a mother-of-pearl yin-yang
 ring so large it doubles as a knuckle duster. No matter how
 playful, gold and diamonds are still gold and diamonds so these
 funky designs come at a pretty hefty price tag.

No longer reserved for your grandfather’s pinky finger, the
 signet ring has made it out of the gentleman’s wardrobe and into
 the jewellery boxes of the fashion pack. While readily available on
 every Instagram shop out there,
 nowhere does this classic signature better than Rebus. Tucked away
 in Hatton Garden – London’s jewellery quarter – a team
 of 12 hand engravers and goldsmiths deliver bespoke pieces. As
 you’d expect, the price tag is a little more than punchy but a
 Rebus signet ring is an investment, something wholly unique and of
 a quality that does this historical piece of jewellery justice.
 Those who still see pinky rings as the domain of the red-trouser
 brigade can opt for a sleek engraved pendant instead.

This Norwegian-British designer’s eponymous brand has quickly
 made a name for itself on the competitive London scene. While the entire range
 is certainly covetable, it’s Tilly’s chunky link chains and T-bar
 necklaces that we’re adding to our shopping basket in a frenzy. The
 perfect balance of classic and bold, these identifiable pieces are
 laid-back luxe but unapologetically eye-catching. Choose from a
 number of different styles but wear singly; there’s nothing
 delicate about a chunky chain so let it stand alone as a statement
 piece – this is a piece of jewellery you’ll always get comments
 on.

Bagatiba was the first in adult-filmstar-turned-entrepreneur
 Jessie Andrews’ portfolio of successful businesses, and since its
 founding the brand has garnered a cult (supermodel) following
 including Bella Hadid, Emily Ratajkowski, Kendall Jenner and Kaia
 Gerber. From more trend-driven styles to timeless classics, sparkly
 creations and work-wear chic, Bagatiba is a one-stop-shop for
 beautiful, quality jewellery no matter your style – although we’re
 certainly partial to her newly released gold pearl necklace and
 two-tone hoops. And if that’s not enough to sell you, all of
 Jessie’s brands use eco-friendly and sustainable practices in their
 production.

A brand dedicated to statement earrings, Milk Tooth is not one
 for the faint-hearted. Their latest collection, Sphere, is inspired
 by the cosmos and Egyptology, using natural stones to create
 astrological pieces like their Encounter Statement earrings
 (complete with tongue-in-cheek winky face emojis) and their UFO
 Ascension pair. If you’re looking for something a little more
 earthy but no less bold, Milk Tooth’s collaboration with artists
 Maria-Ines Gul features organic lines in a sartorial celebration of
 womanhood which comes in a very millennial palette of pastel
 pink and navy blue.

 Maria Black definitely reflect her innate Scandi style, but her
 penchant for twisting beautiful lines in new and unexpected
 directions gives her brand a daring edge. Working with precious
 metals, Maria Black’s collections are sophisticated and playful;
 the interchangeable pieces are sold individually to encourage your
 creativity and celebrate your originality. The designs work with
 your ear’s natural contours to produce eye-catching, dramatic
 shapes that will have friends and strangers asking “what’s the name
 of the brand?” – but we suggest you this one keep a secret.
