Pearlory Review: Is the Jewellery Worth It?

Posted on December 8, 2023December 8, 2023 by Betty R. Sattler

Featured story by: Rachel Smith

If you’ve ever been on the hunt for quality jewellery that you can actually wear in the water without fear of it tarnishing or fading, I’m sure you know the struggle is real. Enter Pearlory, a jewellery brand making waves with its affordable-yet-quality pieces that redefine the idea of everyday jewellery. I decided to put the brand’s waterproof collection to the test and bought four of its most popular items. Read on for my thoughts.

Shipping and First Impressions

Shipping was very fast; the pieces were at my doorstep within four days. Kudos for the eco-friendly packaging; I loved that there was hardly any waste—even the shipping bag was biodegradable!

How the Pieces Handled Real-World Conditions

Pearlory’s tarnish-free Braid Hoop Earrings offer a classy twist on timeless style. Plated in 18-karat gold, these hoops have become my ultimate accessory, gracefully transitioning from sun-soaked beach afternoons to sophisticated dinner evenings. They retained their shine even after multiple swimming and sunbathing sessions. This one is a can’t-miss classic.

The Nautical Knot Necklace, another gem from Pearlory’s collection, exudes understated luxury. With a simple and delicate design, this gold-plated necklace is not only sweatproof and waterproof but also hypoallergenic, making it a perfect choice for those with sensitive skin. I wear this piece a lot, and even with my daily showers, it’s still looking great.

A nostalgic nod to bygone eras, Pearlory’s Vintage Pearl Necklace captures the spirit of vintage fashion. I use this as a layering piece with my other necklaces, and it seamlessly blends with my outfits. I wore it through multiple days of a recent vacation, and the gold plating held up admirably against salt water and sunscreen.

I then decided to shake things up with Pearlory’s Emerald Green Ring. Inspired by

Posted on October 26, 2023 by Betty R. Sattler

From celebrity-loved gold hoops to high-quality diamond jewellery, there’s plenty of shine to go around — ahead, the best jewellery brands to shop.

Demi-Fine Jewellery

Behind the brand: Trendy yet minimalist jewellery that’s fairly priced. Its pieces are crafted mostly from 14-karat solid gold, responsibly sourced diamonds, sterling silver, and 18-karat-gold vermeil.
Why we love it: Mejuri is great for finding pieces that look more expensive than they are, which might be why celebs and their stylists love the brand so much. (Everyone from Selena Gomez to Hailey Bieber and Olivia Rodrigo has worn something from Mejuri.) Its organic pearl hoops huggies are a Glamour-reader favourite, but you can also find more interesting designs, like ear cuffs and styles for helix or cartilage piercings.
Price range: Bestsellers like the Dôme earrings (below) and the Daily Stacker ring start at £58. Other popular necklaces and earrings can go anywhere from £100 to £300.

Behind the brand: The pioneers of demi-fine jewellery, Missoma’s self-proclaimed purpose is to inspire confidence and champion self-expression. Every piece the brand creates is handcrafted, responsibly sourced, and designed in-house at our studios in Notting Hill, London.
Why we love it: Like all of the other celebs that adore it, Missoma is one of our favourite brands because it makes an outfit – it doesn’t just finish one.
Price range: £30-£6,500.

Harris Reed Moonlight Pearl Hoop Earrings

Harris Reed In Good Hands Chunky Beaded Gemstone Necklace

Behind the brand: Astrid & Miyu was founded in 2012 by Connie Nam who was inspired by her mother and travelling. She’d always find quirky and fun pieces for herself on her trips but struggled to find gifts for friends, so saw an opportunity to create an entire brand for this very reason.
Why we love it: You can

How To Spot Valuable Jewelry Markings

Posted on September 30, 2023September 30, 2023 by Betty R. Sattler

You might have a lot of money on your hands — literally. If you don’t know if your ring is worth money, it’s always a good idea to further investigate.

Read: What To Do If You Owe Back Taxes to the IRS

Even if you never plan on selling it, knowing if you’re wearing costume jewelry or a valuable heirloom is both interesting and important. This will allow you to provide the piece with the right kind of care, because you’ll know exactly what you’re working with.

How To Spot Valuable Jewelry Markings

Chances are, you don’t have a background in the jewelry industry. You might think you need one to understand even basic jewelry markings, but you don’t. While some rings are more complex to decode than others, you can likely get at least a general idea of its origin without knowing a single thing about topics like silver and gold markings.

Use the following seven steps to help you decode the markings on your rings and jewelry:

Look at the hallmarks
Research maker’s marks
Estimate its weight
Examine the prongs
Check for signs of wear
Conduct the magnet test
Seek expert advice

Look at the Hallmarks

How do you read gold hallmarks? First, you need to know what they are.

The hallmarks — i.e., jewelry markings — on your ring tell its story. Located on the inside of the band, they reveal your ring’s country of origin and metal content — typically in two separate marks.

If no hallmarks are present, this means it’s either more than 100 years old, not made from a precious metal or has been worn off after years of use. As markings tend to be small, you may need special tools to see them.

So, what about

15 Stylish Pendant Necklaces to Add Your Jewelry Collection

Posted on August 8, 2023August 8, 2023 by Betty R. Sattler

“Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links.”

Simply put a pendant is a piece of jewelry that hangs from a chain worn around the neck, a classic bauble that belongs in many forms and iterations in a jewelry box. And while collars and rivieres have reigned supreme over the last few years, a pendant offers a play on proportions depending on its length and the neckline of the top you are wearing—and they are great to layer with as well. The options when styling a pendant are simply endless. You can double up on metals and wear yours on a chain or you could wear a chunky pendant on a rope for a different effect, too. Here, 15 of our favorites to shop and wear with abandon.

Cora Pendant

Corded pendants have a chokehold on the trend cycle that is not likely to let up anytime soon. With a self-tying cord that could be worn long or short, the textural contrast of the tie with the metallic round is sophisticated enough to be an outfit-maker but simple enough to wear with jeans and a tee.

A necklace is a simple way to add some personality to your everyday look. If you wear a lot of basics, you might consider a more unique necklace to create some intrigue through texture (like a chain) or a focal point (like a pendant). Alternatively, you can layer necklaces and combine different styles to assemble the perfect neck dressing.

“If you are looking to simply grow your everyday collection, a necklace designed for layering is a great choice,” celebrity jeweler Kendra Scott tells PEOPLE. “These are often long, thin, and delicate necklaces, and may feature smaller gemstones or pendants.” She suggests finding necklaces of different lengths so you can layer them in fun arrangements.

Regardless of what style, metal, or length you choose, a necklace can add a level of whimsy or sophistication to your look. Read on to see our picks for the best necklaces for women (or anyone who wants a bit of bling).

Who It’s Good For

Who It’s Not Good For

Simple, unique, and timeless — this necklace is an ideal everyday piece of jewelry. Made with 18k gold-plated sterling silver, it doesn’t cost as much as pure gold, but it has that same signature look. At 19 inches, the chain sits right at your collarbone to accent your face. The cubic zirconia gems mimic diamonds for a little sparkle to catch the eye when you walk in a room. While it’s understated compared to a thicker or larger necklace, it still holds its own as a piece of standalone jewelry. Though should you choose to layer several pieces, it

The 21 Best Affordable Jewelry Brands to Shop

Posted on May 9, 2023May 9, 2023 by Betty R. Sattler

I feel naked without my core jewelry pieces — my neck, ankle, and fingertips are almost always dripped in my grandmother’s jewelry. And while I recommend having staple pieces that hold either meaning or value, I prefer the rest of my collection to come from affordable jewelry brands that I can rotate through as trends, seasons, and my personal style changes.

But it can be a challenge to find affordable pieces that last more than just a night out — we’ve all experienced earrings that rust quickly or necklaces with flimsy clasps that break instantly — or ones that actually look high-end, even if they’re not. “I try to make sure it looks quality. For gold and silver pieces that means that the color and plating look as realistic as possible versus being too pale or yellow” says Diana Tsui, celebrity fashion stylist. The key is to have fun with it, and remove the stress and commitment of purchasing long lasting expensive pieces.

Below are some of my own favorite affordable jewelry brands, each with their own unique styles to shop from.

Mejuri

Anyone active on social media has probably come across Mejuri a handful of times. But they’re more than just a good marketing campaign. Stylist Diana Tsui particularly loves their chunky dome huggies and sculptural silver waves as “more wearable, everyday version of the giant Bottega earrings that we’re seeing all over social media”. But I find the wide range of styles the most appealing. You can find something from this celebrity-approved brand for every style and occasion, with each product category having over a 100 design options with most pieces under $150

As the brand that I turn to when I want to venture out of my comfort zone, Ana Luisa offers more playful, youthful pieces made
