'I found cheaper alternatives to Molly-Mae's earring stack and saved hundreds of pounds'
Molly-Mae Hague has a very expensive taste in jewellery, but you can copy the former Love Island's star's jewellery look for much less - here's how The fashion for small, chic, luxury-looking jewellery – particularly the trend of wearing multiple delicate stud or hoop earrings – has been popular for several years now and is a favourite amongst celebrities. So when I spotted a detailed image of Molly-Mae Hague's earring collection, it inspired me to expand my own collection of piercings and indulge in some new jewellery to emulate her style. The former Love Island contestant had previously revealed that many of her tiny studs and hoops are from the fashionable London-based jewellery brand and piercing studio Maria Tash. This high-end brand is a hit with celebrities and fashion fans alike, but their designs often come with a hefty price tag, often exceeding £1,000 for a single earring. However, without Molly-Mae's reported net worth of £6 million, I set out to find more affordable alternatives – and discovered some fantastic pieces that I adore and now wear daily. Astrid and Miyu I visited Astrid and Miyu to have a third hole pierced in my lobes and was thoroughly impressed with the service – swift, painless and friendly, with excellent advice – a vast improvement on previous piercing experiences, reports OK!. I chose Astrid and Miyu's Triple Topaz Piercing Stud 6mm for my new piercings. As all their piercings are made with solid metals, they aren't cheap – the pair cost me £320. However, they're designed to last a lifetime, I'll likely never remove mine, and I know they're the best material for my ears. While I was shopping, I also snagged these little Cosmic Star Charm Huggies in Gold for a much more affordable £65, which I absolutely adore, and resemble Molly-Mae's jewellery. Abbott Lyon Another brand I've been buying from recently is Abbott Lyon, a hit with celebrities such as Olivia Attwood and Stacey Solomon. Nearly every day, I round off my earring trio with the Sterling Silver Mini Starburst Crystal Earrings (Gold), priced at £69, which I reckon bear a striking resemblance to Maria Tash's designs. If I'm after a bit more of a statement earring look, I'll swap these out for either the Mini Organic Hoops (Gold), £39, or the Ribbed Hoops (Gold), £55,. Abbott Lyon's Strike Twice Lightning Bolt Earrings, retailing at £49, also bear a strong likeness to Molly-Mae's lightning bolt studs. Lily & Roo One jewellery retailer I haven't yet shopped but am eager to is Lily & Roo, whose designs are reminiscent of pieces frequently donned by the Princess of Wales. Lily & Roo's jewellery leans more towards timeless elegance rather than being trend-driven, ensuring they'll be cherished for a lifetime. I think these Gold Marquise Diamond Drop Hoop Earrings, £89, and Gold Curved Diamond Style Huggie Hoop Earrings, £79, appear far pricier than their actual cost.

Calling all brides as Lily & Roo have just launched gorgeous wedding jewellery
Metro journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission – learn more You've got the final dress fitting booked, the shoes wrapped up safely in their box, and your hair and make-up looks sorted — but what are you doing about jewellery on your wedding day? While it's likely not the day you'll want to whip out the colourful costume jewellery, a simple yet elegant pendant or a pretty pair of huggie hoops can truly help tie a whole bridal look together. After all, no outfit is truly complete without accessories. Famous for their timeless and refined designs, Lily & Roo is most definitely the brand we'd turn to first for pared-back pieces that'll impress any modern bride. All handmade in London using freshwater pearls and recycled precious metals, every single design is exquisite — while also still being simple enough to regularly rewear long after your wedding day. From dainty and delicate gold or silver plated necklaces, to classy hoops and huggies that come complete with statement detachable pearls, there are plenty of different options to explore. Below, we've curated an edit of our all-time favourite pieces from the Lily & Roo wedding collection. Expect plenty of best-sellers, and also a fair few exciting new releases for SS25. Two of the brand's bridal best-sellers, this set features the elegant Gold Large Single Pearl Necklace, and the Gold Huggie Pearl Drop Earrings — which are delicately decorated with dazzling cubic zirconias. Together, they make the perfect pair of accessories for a timeless bride — and they're also available in silver plating if you'd prefer. BUY NOW FOR £152 As well as being long associated with love and commitment, tennis bracelets just look undeniably chic and glamorous. This one comes in solid sterling silver or 14ct gold plating, has a handy extendable chain to ensure a perfect fit, and is set with a swathe of sparkling pavé crystals. BUY NOW FOR £110 Not only is this lariat necklace the perfect bridal accessory for a low or plunging neckline, it's also guaranteed to elevate a more simple slip or A-line dress. It's complete with a stunning freshwater pearl, and comes in two different chain lengths so you can be sure that it falls in the perfect place for you. BUY NOW FOR £85 A new release for this summer, this lovely bracelet comes in gold or silver plating, and would make a lovely accessory for any bride or bridesmaid. The beaded chain is ever so slightly chunkier than most other Lily & Roo bracelets — so it makes a little bit more of a statement, while still maintaining a delicate look and feel. BUY NOW FOR £69 Timeless and elegant, pearls are often used in bridal jewellery — but these diamond-style earrings are a great alternative option if you're keen to steer clear of gemstones. Easy and comfortable to wear, the studs feature a satellite chain with three crystal pavé drops that sparkle when they catch the light. BUY NOW FOR £69 In this gift set, you'll get a stunning Silver Ten Pearl Choker, which feels like the perfect style and length for a strapless or off the shoulder wedding dress. It also comes with the matching Silver Five Pearl Bracelet — which boasts the same kind of pretty freshwater pearls, each individually chosen for their soft and natural lustre. BUY NOW FOR £148 It's your wedding day — which means you definitely deserve to swap out your standard silver huggies for a pair with a little more sparkle. Boasting a row of subtly shiny cubic zirconias, these ones are just right — and you'll definitely find plenty of ways to wear them in the future. BUY NOW FOR £69 A Lily & Roo classic, these best-selling hoops are one of our all-time favourites. Designed with both comfort and style in mind, the solid gold sleeper hoops are comfortable enough to wear 24/7 — while the large freshwater pearls make a real statement, but can also be removed whenever you like. BUY NOW FOR £95 Another brand new design, this pretty piece boasts a stunning combination of freshwater pearls in different sizes, and layers beautifully with other bracelets. Available in sterling silver or 14ct gold filled — which isconsiderably thicker than gold plating — it would also make a thoughtful gift for someone extra special in your bridal party, like the Maid of Honour. BUY NOW FOR £99 If you're after a shorter necklace to go with a dress with a square or strapless neckline, this dainty choker would be our first pick. Minimalist and classic, it features a single lustrous freshwater pearl, and also comes in gold, white gold, and rose gold finishes. BUY NOW FOR £55 Having your hair up on your big day? Elevate any chic yet understated bridal knot or bun with a delicate pair of drop earrings. These ones boast three freshwater pearls that elegantly ascend in size, and a secure stud and butterfly backing for comfort and easy wear.
