Above Boucheron Chardon necklace from the Untamed Nature collection
Torque necklaces once adorned monarchs, embodying prestige and presence. Boucheron breathes new life into the style with the Chardon necklace, part of its Untamed Nature collection.

White gold and pavé diamonds converge in an ode to flora, paying homage to founder Frédéric Boucheron's enduring fascination with the botanical world. Sparkling nightingale

Above Tiffany & Co bracelet Jean Schlumberger Croisillon
Jean Schlumberger's Croisillon bracelet for Tiffany & Co. brings a sense of revelry to the wrist.
First debuting in 1962, the design features bold bands of white, blue, and red enamel, framed in 18K yellow gold and marked by the artist's iconic X motif.

A quiet nod to the season's ethos where simplicity makes the boldest statement. Pearls of the unconventional
Above Mikimoto The Bows Earrings offer a playful reinterpretation
Departing from the classic pearl necklace, Mikimoto's Bows earrings offer a playful reinterpretation. Pearls remain a presence, but now share the stage with blue sapphires and diamonds, all set in cool 18K white gold.

7 albums, 7 ponytails: celebrate Ariana Grande's birthday with a look at how her signature hairstyle tells her story
'My Everything' (2014): the high power-ponytail Above 'My Everything' (2014) introduced the sky-high ponytail suited for a global pop star. One year later, the tentativeness vanished, replaced by the sleek, impossibly high power pony that would define her image for years. Perched sky-high, this ponytail codified her global pop star persona alongside the sharp cat-eye that became her other signature. The hairstyle perfectly mirrored My Everything 's sonic evolution toward mainstream pop and EDM, creating what is considered her pop star uniform. 'Dangerous Woman' (2016): rebellion and sensuality behind the mask Above 'Dangerous Woman' (2016) signalled Grande's pivot to maturity and empowerment. The familiar high ponytail returned, but its meaning was entirely transformed by a provocative black latex bunny mask. For the first time, Ariana Grande gazed directly at the camera, projecting confidence and sensuality. The ponytail served as an anchor while the subversive mask signalled her pivot to maturity and empowerment. This visual also represented her Super Bunny alter-ego, the fearless persona that helped her navigate tougher decisions and embrace her power. 'Sweetener' (2018): a radical deconstruction Above The lowered ponytail in 'Sweetener' (2018) symbolised vulnerability rather than pop perfection. Everything changed with Sweetener . The high ponytail dropped to her nape, the brunette became platinum blonde, black and white gave way to full colour and the entire image flipped upside down. This visual change reflected Grande's world being turned upside-down following the trauma of the 2017 Manchester Arena attack. The switch to colour represented hope and healing, while the lowered ponytail symbolised vulnerability rather than constructed pop perfection. It marked the moment her signature look shifted from representing the brand to representing the person. 'Thank U, Next' (2019): resilience and self-love through simplicity Above Her long ponytail in 'thank u, next' (2019) symbolises continuity amid vulnerability. Created during intense public grief and personal upheaval, this album cover retained the upside-down orientation introduced with Sweetener while returning to darker, more grounding brunette tones. Grande's self-embrace pose conveys a sense of self-comfort, while her long ponytail, a consistent element of her identity, symbolises continuity amid vulnerability. In this image, the ponytail serves as a visual anchor of resilience during a challenging time. 'Positions' (2020): a retro twist to signal transformation Above 'Positions' (2020) showed Grande in a voluminous '60s-inspired flip with curled ends. After seven years of ponytail supremacy, Ariana Grande shocked fans by abandoning it entirely for a voluminous '60s-inspired flip with curled ends. The retro styling, complete with graphic Twiggy-inspired liner, reflected the album's playful confidence and duality themes. This departure wasn't abandonment but graduation—proof that her brand was so established she could confidently play outside its boundaries. The ponytail's foundational work was complete. 'Eternal Sunshine' (2024): the ponytail as personal healing and closure Above The matching ponytails of 'eternal sunshine' (2024) represent a closed loop of self-reliance. For her seventh album, the ponytail returns in its most metaphorical form yet. The painterly cover shows two versions of Grande: one leaning on the other's shoulder, both sporting matching blonde ponytails in a closed loop of self-reliance. Inspired by the film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind , this imagery embodies the album's themes of healing and being your own best friend. The iconic ponytail, once her public armour, has become a source of comfort for her private self—the ultimate synthesis of person and persona.

BJ Pascual, Michelle Dee and Angie and Joey Mead King wear their truth and celebrate pride with Tiffany & Co
A couple who have been in the public eye for over a decade, the Kings' love story is one of deep, steadfast connection. When Angie publicly came out as a trans woman in 2016, five years after their marriage and ten years after their first meeting, it was crucial to have Joey by her side and vice versa. When asked about how she defines 'pride', Angie equates it to self-discovery and calls Joey her greatest source of strength. 'When I was still beginning to figure myself out, Joey would bring me to the pride events in Los Angeles and Miami,' Angie recounts. 'Without her nurture, love and support, I wouldn't have blossomed into a confident trans woman.' It's mutual for Joey, who says: 'Angie is inspirational as she lives her truth. It elevates my own, allowing room to shine individually.' Their relationship has only grown stronger through the years, and together, they have become a beacon of hope, not just in the LGBTQIA+ community but for anyone embracing their truth. 'My resilience had been tested many a time,' adds Joey, 'and my love always prevails.'

This same spirit is mirrored in their relationship with HardWear jewellery. 'Wearing Tiffany rekindles loving memories; each time I see my pieces, I feel valued and loved,' Joey muses. Angie echoes the sentiment, calling it a symbol of being 'blessed, luxurious and fashionable'. More than jewellery, it's a reflection of how far they've come, and how boldly they continue to live
