'My water-proof jewellery is so affordable and gets compliments'
Bohomoon is a viral jewellery brand that's gained a huge following on Instagram - our shopping writer Eve Rowlands shares why she loves it Although fashion icon Coco Chanel mused 'before you leave the house, look in the mirror and remove one accessory', I'm quite the opposite in that I feel more is better when it comes to jewellery. Recently, I've been on a mission to enhance my collection of earrings, rings, necklaces and bracelets with staple pieces that I can wear repeatedly, safe in the knowledge they won't stain my skin a delightful shade of green after hours of wear. When I was younger, I would typically opt for the classic high street choices of Lovisa and Accessorize (they provided cheap and cheerful items that ultimately tarnish), but I recently decided to mature and place an order with a brand I'd seen all over my social media, whose golden accessories are renowned for being water, sweat and tarnish-proof: Bohomoon. Plus, they even have celebrity backing with the likes of Camila Cabello being spotted in their earrings. Now, I am a summer girl through and through and love spending my time in the sea so I needed to find some pieces that I wouldn't have to remove every time I went for a swim and wouldn't turn green after one use. And while I adore the likes of Abbott Lyon - I'm the proud owner of its 'E' initial necklace - and would love to invest in some pieces by Ateola and Astrid and Miyu at some point, their price point is just a bit too steep for me (unless it's a payday treat). However, Bohomoon appears to strike a happy balance with decent quality stainless steel jewellery that isn't likely to fade while being relatively affordable - most items are under £35 and the brand is currently offering a 3 for 2 promotion using the code 3FOR2 at checkout. Even better, its outlet has pieces for just £10 - although 'once it's gone, it's gone'. I've been wearing Bohomoon pieces non-stop since I ordered my first earrings a few months ago - since my collection has grown - and at every event I attend, whether it's a wedding, brunch or a walk with friends, my new accessories have drawn compliments, reports OK!. My simple earring stacks have barely left my ears except for a few hours to keep them properly sanitised. Wanting a bit of consistency in my jewellery, I treated myself to the brand's Spirit Hoop Earrings, Halo Opal Studs and the Amanda Opal Studs - all of which cost £10, totalling £30. While the studs are beautifully bohemian, featuring a mermaid blue lab fire opal gem encased in gold, the hoops have a crescent moon hanging from the small huggies. They hold a bit more interest thank your bog standard plain silver or gold studs for me and that's a big win. They haven't turned my ears green at all either - and I've worn them in the shower, sea and even during the recent heatwaves. They're still as fresh as the day I got them. While I've had no issues with these earrings, one shopper did note on the brand's website that the studs appear a 'little whiter than expected' rather than bright blue I found, and the hoops' clasps are 'a bit tricky to click in'. For me, this just ensures they'll stay put. When I'm attending a more glamorous event, I usually switch out the hoops for something a bit bolder, like the brand's Tamara Hoop Earrings, £26, (spotted on Camila Cabello) which have a wavy texture that makes them stand out, and a stud fastening, making them easy to put on and take off. For those willing to splurge a bit more on earring stacks, one brand - a favourite among celebrities like Molly-Mae Hague - is Astrid and Miyu. Their cosmic-inspired earrings offer a sparkling, red carpet-worthy look that doesn't overshadow or draw too much attention away from any outfit. As for rings, I find myself drawn to textures, patterns and fun, thematic styles - as well as mixing and matching silver and gold. So Bohomoon's £28 True Love Ring and £25 Aliah Ring fit perfectly into my rotation (which includes an unbranded classic holiday silver wave ring, opal stone ring with a rope style gold band and a textured hammered effect silver band - Aalto - which has waves etched into it from a Welsh jeweller called Spiral Sheep Designs). Both rings have unique hammered and moulded designs that aren't 'clean girl aesthetic' and add a bit of personality, which is something I look for in my jewels. They're lightweight too, so they don't feel overly heavy when worn, which is always a bonus. When it comes to necklaces, I do love a good bit of layering and have recently found myself attracted to necklaces featuring initials (a big trend lately), for a personal touch. Bohomoon's Luxe Initial Necklace, priced at £26, is a fantastic way to embrace this style without it being too conspicuous. The initial is welded onto a gold rectangle with sun-ray accents and a textured background. It's not overly large either, so it won't dominate the outfit, but rather adds a complimentary flair. I typically pair it with the Herringbone Choker necklace, priced at £22. Of course, for those who prefer a standalone initial necklace, Abbott Lyon's Personalised Initial Necklace can be further personalised by adding the wearer's birthstone. The necklace features the initial as a capital letter and costs £89. Choose from 14-16 inch, 18-20 inch and 22-24 inch. Edge of Ember - a brand loved by Meghan Markle - also offers a range of these style of necklaces, with its version of the initial necklace currently priced at £95. It's worth noting that the Abbott Lyon necklace is made from 18K gold plated stainless steel while Edge of Ember's version is 18K gold-plated recycled sterling silver, which explains the slightly higher prices.

LOYALTY PAYS: With reduced prices for loyalty members at most major supermarkets, you will be hit in the wallet if you do not sign up for schemes. Remember to log on to the app before you shop, as some offers need to be activated or loaded to your account before you can benefit. AVOID CONVENIENCE STORES: Smaller local stores can cost you in more ways that one. First, the food items can be more expensive than in larger shops and the range of own-brand or affordable versions of food are more limited than in the bigger branches. And thirdly, sometimes you won't be able to access some of the membership perks that come from shopping at a larger store. For example, your Nectar prices are only available in the main Sainsbury's supermarkets and not the smaller convenience stores.

Kate Middleton-approved jewellery brand drops up to 50% off sale
The royal has been spotted wearing Monica Vinader on several occasions and shoppers can now save up to 50% off earrings, necklaces, rings and more When it comes to summer sales, jewellery brand Monica Vinader are shining with up to 50% off hundreds of accessories including necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings and more. The British brand have secured themselves as a fan favourite thanks to the 'affordable luxury' options - and prices are now even more reasonable starting at £19 in the sales event. Kate Middleton notably owns several Monica Vinader pieces, having worn them on repeat over the years. Shoppers hoping to emulate her style can save money off her go-to choices, or treat a royal fan in their life to a thoughtful and special gift for less. Hailed by Monica Vinader as the 'biggest sale of the season', shoppers have a limited time to browse up to 50% off selected picks. One stand-out piece has been worn by Kate Middleton multiple times, such as on a trip to Copenhagen in 2022 and while out in London in 2023. The Nura Pearl Necklace has been reduced by £19, now down to £110, made from 18k gold vermeil and pearl. The accessory comes highly recommended by shoppers, many of whom say they've received 'so many compliments' since wearing it. Its versatility makes it ideal for accessorising almost anything in a wardrobe. One customer commended it for being delicate, writing: "This necklace is just beautiful. It can be worn as a formal or informal piece. Looks fab with jeans and a t-shirt." Another shared their experience, stating: "I wore this on holiday out for dinner and had some lovely compliments. The pearl is the perfect size and I love the way it's not a perfect circle." However, one shopper did mention a minor issue: "The only negative is the necklace is a bit short, sitting at collarbone level so if you prefer a longer necklace, I would go for a longer chain." The T-Bar Pearl Chain Necklace available at Accessorize for for £16 provides a similar style to Monica Vinader's luxury items. A pair of Kate Middleton's Monica Vinader earrings are also on sale - saving shoppers £52. The Siren Wire Earrings were first debuted by Kate during the 2016 Canada tour, however, she has worn them on more than ten occasions since. Kate Middleton favours the Green Onyx design, but the 18k Gold Vermeil and aquamarine option is just as beautiful and currently 40% off. Now £78 down from £130, their splash of colour makes them stand out - a possible reason why they're among Kate's preferred jewellery pieces. Shoppers can also snap up the matching Siren Ring for £75 down from £150 in the half price sale. Shoppers can browse the entire Monica Vinader up to 50% off sale here. Elsewhere, another high street jewellery brand worn by Kate Middleton has dropped an up to 50% off sale. Missoma's Mini Pyramid Charm Hoop Earrings are £98 featuring pink hand-cut rhodochrosite gemstones set in 18k gold vermeil.

And for those on a budget, fear not, you won't have to splash too much cash thanks to this "amazing value' new collection. 6 6 6 6 While many of us may bag our high-street jewellery from Accessorize Pandora or maybe even Primark, now, a very popular supermarket has come to the rescue with holiday must-haves. Not only will shoppers be able to stock up on stunning earrings and gorgeous anklets while they do their food shop, but they'll even find head-turning claw clips too. But that's not all, as there's also a large selection of statement necklaces and bracelets you won't want to miss. Posting on social media, the official George at Asda account gave users a close-up look at the new-in fashion buys, leaving many totally gobsmacked. Alongside the short clip, the chain penned: 'Spotted in store: holiday brights. 'Colour pop jewellery and accessories made for sunshine and summer getaways.' Not only this, but the supermarket then wrote: 'Running to Asda …' So if you're lucky enough to be jetting abroad for a beach holiday this year and fancy treating yourself, there's plenty to choose from. Shoppers will find colourful bracelets for £5, packs of three anklets for £7 and even glitzy bag charms for £6.50. There's packs of three stud earrings for £6 and even jaw-dropping statement earrings for only £8.50. Fashion fans run to M&S to nab the new jewellery that's perfect for summer & there's Bottega dupes that'll save you £546 If you're really looking to keep the costs down, you'll find fun hoop earrings that are in the chain's 'amazing value' range, for just £4.

Also in the 'amazing value' range, fashionistas can get their hands on a two-pack of flower claw claps for just £3.50 - and there's multiple colour choices. 2025's Jewellery Trends: What's in and what's out? Designer and founder of AJOSEPO, Tofi Caroline Adedoyi revealed the jewellery industry is undergoing an exciting transformation. Big gold earrings - OUT Chunky gold earrings inspired by the '80s have fallen out of fashion. Instead, there is a growing shift towards nostalgic '90s jewellery pieces like hoop earrings that convey elegance and sophistication in 2025. Bold stack rings - IN Stacking rings are set to make a bold statement in 2025. Expect to see asymmetrical stacks featuring irregular shapes and sculptural designs, adding depth and character. Remember to use odd numbers for a more dynamic look—stacking three rings creates a visually engaging and harmonious effect. And choose stackable rings made from solid precious metals such as silver and gold, rather than gemstones for a more sophisticated appearance. Chunky statement pieces - IN While 2024 focused on rectangular paper clip motifs, 2025 will showcase circular forms. This trend is evident in various pieces, including earrings that sway gently in the light, bold necklaces that fluidly drape around the neck, and bracelets and rings that feature soft, rounded shapes. Silver jewellery - IN Silver jewellery continues to be a popular choice this year, celebrated for its versatility and understated elegance. Its sleek, cool-toned finish makes it a perfect accessory for casual outings and formal events, allowing for effortless transitions. Colourful gemstones - IN The jewellery scene is experiencing a vibrant resurgence of bold and colourful gemstones. Striking stones such as luminous quartz, rich black onyx, and fiery red agate dominate designs, providing a refreshing alternative to traditional pearls. Conscious sustainability - IN Eco-friendly materials, ethical sourcing, and responsible production practices are now essential elements of contemporary jewellery. The focus now lies on utilising ethical gold, recycled metals, and lab-grown diamonds, ensuring that aesthetics do not come at the planet's expense. Tip: Research a jeweller's ethical and sustainable practices before purchasing to ensure their values align with yours. At Ajosepo, we exclusively utilise recycled materials, reducing the demand for new mining and minimising our ecological footprint. Fashion fans beam The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ georgeatasda, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 122,000 views. Not only this, but it's also amassed 5,335 likes, 20 comments and 400 saves. Fashion fans were stunned by the impressive new range of affordable jewellery and many eagerly raced to the comments to express this. One person said: 'Obsessed.' Another added: 'I'm running.' Meanwhile, someone else begged: 'Please start selling accessories online.' Unlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme - Sun Club 6 6
