Jewellery Junkie!! FT Regal Rose.

So every time I have been mentioned on CAGECITY (at moment that's just twice, but who's counting?!) jewellery has been mentioned. My working background is in jewellery, my mum is a bling-a-holic and I dare say that I to have been bitten by the trinket bug. 

I begged for my ears to be pierced at age 5, argued the toss over having a bellybar when I was 13 (mum fainted watching me have it done, safe to say it was the most cringe-worthy experience of my life seeing her simper and giggle in the arms of the very burly, tattooed gentleman who came to her rescue) and I recreated the Parent Trap apple/ice piercing with an earring scene a million times with friends, resulting in numerous third and fourth holes along with a trip to the doctors for a Tetanus shot. 

Working for an actual jewellers taught me stuff about metal compositions, stones (perks of the job did include trying on pieces that can only be afforded if your name is Jennifer Lopez) and the emotional attachment that people have to their rings, bracelets and necklaces, regardless of the actual worth. 

Picking a piece to compliment your outfit, for many people, is about so much more than whether or not it's 'on trend'. Factors to take into consideration are if your skin tone suits silver or gold, if you prefer dainty or statement and of course sentimental value. For example, I am quite fair so feel that gold suits me best, I tend to go for statement as my uniform of jumpers and jeans needs jazzing up quite often and I wear a ruby ring everyday for all occasions as it means a lot to me. 

Being a jewellery junkie I am always having a nose at what?s new, what?s different and I was recently pointed in the direction of Regal Rose. Featured in Grazia, and Instyle, twins Rebecca and Louisa started their company in 2008 after regularly making their own jewellery as they couldn't find what they were after online or on the high street. The mix of cool and unique pieces that have been seen on celebs (coveting Fearne Cotton's cocktail ring) and catering for the subtle as well as the bold, makes Regal Rose my new favourite accessories haunt on the web. So much so, that it would kick my dullest, most boring jeans/jumper combo right up the backside. Regal Rose mirrors the eclectic, easy style that attracted me to CAGECITY, so checkout my Regal Rose and CAGECITY style-up.
