I always forget. What role does jewelry play 80 00:03:27,825 --> 00:03:31,065 Speaker 1: for you in your self expression and complimenting your outfits. 81 00:03:31,345 --> 00:03:33,425 Speaker 2: I feel like it's always a finishing touch when I 82 00:03:33,425 --> 00:03:35,025 Speaker 2: think of an outfit. When I'm about to put on 83 00:03:35,065 --> 00:03:37,105 Speaker 2: something to leave the house, I like to have my 84 00:03:37,145 --> 00:03:39,585 Speaker 2: clothes to be the base layer and then accessiz on top. 85 00:03:39,705 --> 00:03:42,305 Speaker 2: I feel like I like to think them as like 86 00:03:42,425 --> 00:03:45,385 Speaker 2: a level up. It definitely brings some depth and entry 87 00:03:45,505 --> 00:03:46,145 Speaker 2: to the outfit. 88 00:03:46,305 --> 00:03:47,625 Speaker 3: I agree, And I feel. 89 00:03:47,425 --> 00:03:50,185 Speaker 2: Like, depending on the event, depending on the occasion, I 90 00:03:50,345 --> 00:03:52,745 Speaker 2: like to overaccessorize Maximus. 91 00:03:53,025 --> 00:03:54,945 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think as it's the last step we 92 00:03:54,985 --> 00:03:57,785 Speaker 1: often forget. And because my bedroom where I keep everything 93 00:03:57,825 --> 00:03:59,305 Speaker 1: is upstairs, I often get to the front door and 94 00:03:59,305 --> 00:04:01,425 Speaker 1: I'm like oh, and then I'm like, no, just add 95 00:04:01,425 --> 00:04:03,305 Speaker 1: on a necklace. Like today I've tucked on a necklace 96 00:04:03,305 --> 00:04:05,185 Speaker 1: with a plane white tea, and I'm like, I'm really 97 00:04:05,185 --> 00:04:06,705 Speaker 1: glad I took that extra five minutes. 98 00:04:06,785 --> 00:04:09,025 Speaker 2: Absolutely, I feel like it gives us sense of like 99 00:04:09,065 --> 00:04:11,185 Speaker 2: happiness to myself as well. Yeah, when you look in 100 00:04:11,185 --> 00:04:12,985 Speaker 2: the mirror, I'm like, okay, I have made the little 101 00:04:12,985 --> 00:04:16,065 Speaker 2: extra effort I think as well with myself, which is nice. 102 00:04:16,225 --> 00:04:18,785 Speaker 1: So you told me before we started recording that you 103 00:04:18,825 --> 00:04:22,585 Speaker 1: love bold, chunky pieces. Talk to me about that because 104 00:04:22,625 --> 00:04:25,105 Speaker 1: I feel like sometimes that can feel dated or it 105 00:04:25,145 --> 00:04:27,505 Speaker 1: can also feel very cool. So how do you get 106 00:04:27,505 --> 00:04:27,985 Speaker 1: that right? 107 00:04:28,505 --> 00:04:31,465 Speaker 2: It can be really difficult to find space for them 108 00:04:31,505 --> 00:04:34,945 Speaker 2: without them drowning the other things in your outfit out Yes, 109 00:04:35,345 --> 00:04:37,905 Speaker 2: wearing lots of chunky layers kind of things like that 110 00:04:38,225 --> 00:04:40,825 Speaker 2: on top of more playing outfits during the day is 111 00:04:40,865 --> 00:04:43,905 Speaker 2: really fun. But then for something a little bit more sophisticated, 112 00:04:43,905 --> 00:04:46,505 Speaker 2: something a little bit more evening, I definitely try to 113 00:04:46,505 --> 00:04:49,185 Speaker 2: tone that down. Either choose like the boldness to be 114 00:04:49,305 --> 00:04:52,225 Speaker 2: in the clothing or in the jewelry and just leave 115 00:04:52,265 --> 00:04:52,945 Speaker 2: it at that simple. 116 00:04:52,985 --> 00:04:56,185 Speaker 1: Playing classic dress with a really bold earring or necklace absolutely, 117 00:04:56,385 --> 00:04:58,225 Speaker 1: or a printer a dress with a delicate chain or 118 00:04:58,265 --> 00:05:01,465 Speaker 1: something like that, they're not fighting for attention. Yeah, It's 119 00:05:01,505 --> 00:05:03,665 Speaker 1: funny that you say, though, because you like mares more 120 00:05:03,705 --> 00:05:05,425 Speaker 1: and I kind of do too. There's that old quote. 121 00:05:05,425 --> 00:05:06,745 Speaker 1: I can't remember who said it, but you look in 122 00:05:06,785 --> 00:05:08,785 Speaker 1: the mirror. I think it was Cookochanel and takes one 123 00:05:08,825 --> 00:05:10,425 Speaker 1: thing off and I'm like, no, I want to put 124 00:05:10,465 --> 00:05:10,865 Speaker 1: more on. 125 00:05:11,345 --> 00:05:13,665 Speaker 2: I like to give myself a little five minute pre 126 00:05:13,785 --> 00:05:14,905 Speaker 2: warning before I leave. 127 00:05:15,185 --> 00:05:17,505 Speaker 1: And like, I found that too, because youself in the 128 00:05:17,545 --> 00:05:18,865 Speaker 1: last step and then you get up going, you know, 129 00:05:18,945 --> 00:05:20,065 Speaker 1: rush out and jump on the bustle, get in the 130 00:05:20,105 --> 00:05:22,105 Speaker 1: carry like that oes a necklace would have been better. Yeah, 131 00:05:22,385 --> 00:05:24,585 Speaker 1: try and put it all on, give yourself five minutes 132 00:05:24,665 --> 00:05:26,225 Speaker 1: rushing around to get the rest of your stuff or 133 00:05:26,225 --> 00:05:28,865 Speaker 1: clean your teeth. And then you're like, actually, I'm not vibing. 134 00:05:28,585 --> 00:05:31,785 Speaker 2: This definitely, because yeah, I feel like the maximalism is 135 00:05:32,265 --> 00:05:34,745 Speaker 2: it's really fun, but it can just drown things. 136 00:05:34,945 --> 00:05:37,425 Speaker 1: Yes, I don't like to look a bit confused.

But what are you 174 00:07:10,865 --> 00:07:13,025 Speaker 1: seeing right now in terms of jewelry trends. 175 00:07:13,145 --> 00:07:16,265 Speaker 2: I'm seeing a lot of geometric and asymmetric going on, 176 00:07:16,345 --> 00:07:18,705 Speaker 2: So a lot of different kinds of shapes, especially in 177 00:07:18,705 --> 00:07:23,265 Speaker 2: that really bold, chunky realm. Also the asymmetrical pairs. So 178 00:07:23,425 --> 00:07:25,385 Speaker 2: there's been a lot on the runway with just like 179 00:07:25,425 --> 00:07:28,905 Speaker 2: different lengths and like big shapes and the aircuffs as well. 180 00:07:28,985 --> 00:07:30,745 Speaker 1: Yeah, so what like it's a set of earrings that 181 00:07:30,745 --> 00:07:31,265 Speaker 1: they're different. 182 00:07:31,345 --> 00:07:31,945 Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely. 183 00:07:31,985 --> 00:07:35,385 Speaker 2: The asymmetrical pieces are really nice beads and things as well, 184 00:07:35,425 --> 00:07:36,705 Speaker 2: which would be really fun. 185 00:07:36,865 --> 00:07:39,585 Speaker 1: I'm seeing so much beating. I feel like we had 186 00:07:39,625 --> 00:07:42,305 Speaker 1: really delicate sort of chains which are still around. But 187 00:07:42,345 --> 00:07:44,345 Speaker 1: then the jewelry I think I'm seeing mostly in the 188 00:07:44,425 --> 00:07:49,065 Speaker 1: high street is like big chunky metal or shells or charms. 189 00:07:49,305 --> 00:07:53,185 Speaker 1: Beating is back again. I've seen really cute little necklaces 190 00:07:53,185 --> 00:07:55,905 Speaker 1: if you are going to go kind of a finer necklace, 191 00:07:55,905 --> 00:07:57,745 Speaker 1: and it doesn't have to be fine jewelry, but even 192 00:07:57,785 --> 00:08:00,025 Speaker 1: got costume jewely that's finer. There's lots of little quirky 193 00:08:00,105 --> 00:08:02,945 Speaker 1: charms like a fortune cookie or a crab, and it 194 00:08:02,985 --> 00:08:04,265 Speaker 1: made me think of what I used to have. It 195 00:08:04,305 --> 00:08:06,025 Speaker 1: was a very fine gold chain and then it was 196 00:08:06,105 --> 00:08:08,785 Speaker 1: just like a stick, like a gold stick, like a 197 00:08:08,785 --> 00:08:11,545 Speaker 1: stick out of the bush. Anklets are back. I used 198 00:08:11,545 --> 00:08:15,585 Speaker 1: to wear them a long time ago. Statement costume rings 199 00:08:15,585 --> 00:08:18,465 Speaker 1: and chunky rings, chunky cuffs again. 200 00:08:18,345 --> 00:08:20,065 Speaker 3: I'm sure I'm going to do that. 201 00:08:20,465 --> 00:08:22,625 Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're at a computer, it can be annoying. 202 00:08:22,665 --> 00:08:24,105 Speaker 1: I often put on a bunch of stuff and then 203 00:08:24,105 --> 00:08:25,865 Speaker 1: I got a start type, and I'm like, I'm going 204 00:08:25,945 --> 00:08:26,305 Speaker 1: to take that. 205 00:08:26,305 --> 00:08:28,185 Speaker 3: Just get in the way. I would definitely be concenta. 206 00:08:29,345 --> 00:08:32,385 Speaker 1: I'm noticing a lot of sort of historical or astrology pendants, 207 00:08:32,425 --> 00:08:34,745 Speaker 1: so something that might look like ancient Greek or even 208 00:08:34,785 --> 00:08:38,265 Speaker 1: a coin or those little kind of star sign astrology necklaces. 209 00:08:38,545 --> 00:08:40,505 Speaker 3: Especially around this time of year, I feel like people 210 00:08:40,545 --> 00:08:41,905 Speaker 3: get really into the star sign thing. 211 00:08:41,945 --> 00:08:44,025 Speaker 2: Yeah. I think it's a really bit of an escapism 212 00:08:44,145 --> 00:08:46,745 Speaker 2: kind of theme of the holidays, and. 213 00:08:46,665 --> 00:08:49,385 Speaker 1: It's a good gift absolutely. So one of the questions 214 00:08:49,465 --> 00:08:52,185 Speaker 1: we got was which metals to go for, What's the 215 00:08:52,185 --> 00:08:55,305 Speaker 1: most sturdy, what's the most long lasting? I mean, goodness me, 216 00:08:55,465 --> 00:08:58,545 Speaker 1: this is our whole other world. Absolutely, do you have 217 00:08:58,585 --> 00:08:59,265 Speaker 1: any tips here? 218 00:08:59,305 --> 00:09:02,385 Speaker 2: The best tip that I found was actually just rodium 219 00:09:02,385 --> 00:09:05,905 Speaker 2: plating full stop. Especially when you're looking at trainy jewelry 220 00:09:06,065 --> 00:09:08,705 Speaker 2: or pieces that you really want to be timeless and 221 00:09:08,785 --> 00:09:12,825 Speaker 2: have at your staples, it really does seem difficult to 222 00:09:12,905 --> 00:09:13,425 Speaker 2: avoid the. 223 00:09:13,465 --> 00:09:16,225 Speaker 3: Tarnishing long term. So I feel like, for me. 224 00:09:16,665 --> 00:09:18,705 Speaker 2: When I get to the point where I really start 225 00:09:18,745 --> 00:09:24,465 Speaker 2: building that staple jewelry set, the availability for replating eurodium 226 00:09:24,825 --> 00:09:27,105 Speaker 2: on your pieces sounds like the best option for me 227 00:09:27,345 --> 00:09:28,345 Speaker 2: looking at jewelry stores. 228 00:09:28,345 --> 00:09:29,385 Speaker 3: It doesn't seem. 229 00:09:29,465 --> 00:09:31,825 Speaker 2: Too crazy deer if you are looking at pieces that 230 00:09:31,865 --> 00:09:34,145 Speaker 2: will last a lifetime. Yes, And also a lot of 231 00:09:34,185 --> 00:09:37,505 Speaker 2: jewelry stores are suggesting, like every few years to redo 232 00:09:37,545 --> 00:09:38,385 Speaker 2: the rodium. 233 00:09:38,065 --> 00:09:41,345 Speaker 3: Plating so that it really like getting new time exactly. 234 00:09:41,385 --> 00:09:44,385 Speaker 3: Don't makes sense? Yeah, so I think one day. 235 00:09:44,865 --> 00:09:48,545 Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, I feel like I'm a metal expert now 236 00:09:48,585 --> 00:09:50,505 Speaker 1: because I did a little rundown and I knew with 237 00:09:50,625 --> 00:09:51,905 Speaker 1: some of it, but some of it I learned. So 238 00:09:51,905 --> 00:09:54,745 Speaker 1: I'll give you a quick little lesson for everyone. Twenty 239 00:09:54,745 --> 00:09:57,985 Speaker 1: four carrot gold is the fanciers. It's one hundred percent 240 00:09:58,025 --> 00:10:00,585 Speaker 1: pure gold, no other metals mixed in, but it's also 241 00:10:00,665 --> 00:10:03,905 Speaker 1: the softest, so not that durable for day to day, 242 00:10:03,905 --> 00:10:06,505 Speaker 1: where eighteen carrot gold, I guess, is kind of the 243 00:10:06,505 --> 00:10:09,945 Speaker 1: goldilocks in between. It's gold, but then there's other part 244 00:10:10,265 --> 00:10:13,265 Speaker 1: of metals, so it's roughly three quarters gold, but perhaps 245 00:10:13,265 --> 00:10:16,905 Speaker 1: with some copper, nickel or zinc. And it's stronger than 246 00:10:16,945 --> 00:10:19,625 Speaker 1: twenty four carrot gold, so good food, I guess your 247 00:10:19,705 --> 00:10:23,745 Speaker 1: sentimental pieces. And it's richer in a true gold color 248 00:10:24,185 --> 00:10:26,585 Speaker 1: than nine carrot gold, so nine Carrot gold's sort of 249 00:10:26,625 --> 00:10:29,865 Speaker 1: the most affordable, but it can look quite yellow. There's 250 00:10:29,905 --> 00:10:33,145 Speaker 1: obviously less gold and more metals mixed in. It is 251 00:10:33,265 --> 00:10:36,625 Speaker 1: very strong, so it's good for everyday affordability where but 252 00:10:36,705 --> 00:10:38,825 Speaker 1: it can also tarnish, so there's always like a pro 253 00:10:38,985 --> 00:10:42,705 Speaker 1: and con of each one. Then there's platinum, which is 254 00:10:43,345 --> 00:10:46,705 Speaker 1: is so extensive and quite rare, ninety five percent platinum, 255 00:10:46,745 --> 00:10:48,905 Speaker 1: sometimes hundred percent platinum, and it might be mixed with 256 00:10:48,905 --> 00:10:52,265 Speaker 1: about five percent another metal, and it looks like silver 257 00:10:52,425 --> 00:10:55,545 Speaker 1: or white gold in terms of color. But jewelers don't 258 00:10:55,665 --> 00:10:58,025 Speaker 1: like it. I mean, it's so expensive because it's gold 259 00:10:58,105 --> 00:11:00,945 Speaker 1: is paid for by weight, and platinum is so heavy, 260 00:11:01,065 --> 00:11:04,465 Speaker 1: so that's why it's so expensive, and it's so strong 261 00:11:04,505 --> 00:11:06,785 Speaker 1: that it's hard to work with. Yeah, and you've got 262 00:11:06,785 --> 00:11:09,425 Speaker 1: white gold, which I kind of thought platinum on white 263 00:11:09,425 --> 00:11:12,105 Speaker 1: gold were the same, but they're not. So why gold 264 00:11:12,185 --> 00:11:15,305 Speaker 1: is seventy five percent pure gold, and then twenty five 265 00:11:15,345 --> 00:11:18,145 Speaker 1: percent palladium, which is a really rare metal, which gives 266 00:11:18,145 --> 00:11:22,545 Speaker 1: it that kind of non gold look. Then rose gold 267 00:11:22,585 --> 00:11:24,585 Speaker 1: is a combination of gold and copper, and I should 268 00:11:24,585 --> 00:11:27,345 Speaker 1: have known that as a rose gold girl. 269 00:11:26,505 --> 00:11:29,185 Speaker 3: A Yeah, I wouldn't have thought that either. 270 00:11:29,185 --> 00:11:33,345 Speaker 1: Me neither, and then silver. Interestingly, I also didn't really 271 00:11:33,425 --> 00:11:37,105 Speaker 1: think about silver. But there's varying grades of silver, and 272 00:11:37,105 --> 00:11:40,025 Speaker 1: one hundred percent pure silver is pretty much impossible now. 273 00:11:40,505 --> 00:11:42,185 Speaker 1: I think all the royals used it for like their 274 00:11:42,185 --> 00:11:44,505 Speaker 1: cut three million years ago, so you have to kind 275 00:11:44,505 --> 00:11:47,465 Speaker 1: of check the quality. But you've heard the term sterling silver, 276 00:11:47,545 --> 00:11:50,825 Speaker 1: which is often used when talking about overseas with some currencies, 277 00:11:50,865 --> 00:11:53,865 Speaker 1: and that's because the lowest grade of silver is coins, 278 00:11:53,985 --> 00:11:57,865 Speaker 1: which is sterling silver. Interesting huh. And silver does tarnish, 279 00:11:57,945 --> 00:12:00,305 Speaker 1: but can polish up really well, So just because it 280 00:12:00,345 --> 00:12:02,345 Speaker 1: tarnishes doesn't mean it's not good. You just have to 281 00:12:02,425 --> 00:12:06,385 Speaker 1: clean it. Nickel and jewelry is a really big topic. 282 00:12:06,625 --> 00:12:08,985 Speaker 1: You often hear people say they might get dermatitis from 283 00:12:08,985 --> 00:12:12,905 Speaker 1: a necklace or irritated ears, and oftentimes it's nickel which 284 00:12:12,985 --> 00:12:15,505 Speaker 1: is mixed in to make things a bit more affordable. 285 00:12:15,505 --> 00:12:17,745 Speaker 1: But it can make people react, which is why you 286 00:12:17,785 --> 00:12:21,025 Speaker 1: see brands claiming nickel free. One of the most common 287 00:12:21,105 --> 00:12:25,145 Speaker 1: questions though, was gold plated versus gold for meal. So 288 00:12:25,225 --> 00:12:27,985 Speaker 1: this is how more affordable brands I'm not talking like 289 00:12:28,065 --> 00:12:30,865 Speaker 1: super cheap brands that are probably dispray painted, but more 290 00:12:30,945 --> 00:12:34,545 Speaker 1: affordable brands that are still really lovely use gold, but 291 00:12:34,545 --> 00:12:37,865 Speaker 1: it's not solid gold. So gold for meal is similar 292 00:12:37,865 --> 00:12:40,585 Speaker 1: to gold plating, but it's thicker. So if you want 293 00:12:40,585 --> 00:12:44,065 Speaker 1: something to be more durable, less tarnishing, go for gold 294 00:12:44,105 --> 00:12:46,225 Speaker 1: for mill because it's required to use a thicker layer 295 00:12:46,305 --> 00:12:48,945 Speaker 1: of gold than gold plated. But obviously it just comes 296 00:12:48,945 --> 00:12:50,905 Speaker 1: down to firstly, are you gonna wear it twenty four 297 00:12:50,905 --> 00:12:53,585 Speaker 1: seven or is it just a statement piece? Are you 298 00:12:53,585 --> 00:12:55,185 Speaker 1: going to swim in it? You know a lot of 299 00:12:55,225 --> 00:12:58,785 Speaker 1: perfumes and body lotions and sunscreens will react to even 300 00:12:58,945 --> 00:13:01,785 Speaker 1: good stuff, So I feel like that's a whole different 301 00:13:01,785 --> 00:13:14,985 Speaker 1: world of just like metal. All right. We've been also 302 00:13:15,105 --> 00:13:18,665 Speaker 1: been asked about gemstones, so there's obviously like your diamonds 303 00:13:18,705 --> 00:13:23,505 Speaker 1: and stuff down to like colored bits and semi precious stones. 304 00:13:23,945 --> 00:13:25,345 Speaker 1: Are you into that kind of vibe? 305 00:13:25,505 --> 00:13:27,665 Speaker 3: Definitely? I think I am a little bit of. 306 00:13:27,745 --> 00:13:29,025 Speaker 1: A little bower bird. 307 00:13:29,185 --> 00:13:33,665 Speaker 2: Absolutely, we're like little crystal earnes and things are really cute. 308 00:13:33,665 --> 00:13:35,705 Speaker 2: And I definitely grew up in a heavy household, so 309 00:13:35,945 --> 00:13:37,505 Speaker 2: you did it comes hand in hand. 310 00:13:37,705 --> 00:13:40,665 Speaker 3: Yeah, But I also really love the colored glass. I 311 00:13:40,705 --> 00:13:43,665 Speaker 3: think it can be really beautiful, agreed. 312 00:13:43,385 --> 00:13:46,025 Speaker 2: Yeah, especially with all of the geometric sort of shapes 313 00:13:46,065 --> 00:13:48,185 Speaker 2: and things going on as well. At the moment, I 314 00:13:48,185 --> 00:13:52,505 Speaker 2: find the big chunky like chandeliers and like very statementy. 315 00:13:52,705 --> 00:13:55,865 Speaker 2: Those are beautiful, and the tiny dainty chains with the 316 00:13:55,905 --> 00:13:57,705 Speaker 2: little color glass in them as well. 317 00:13:57,425 --> 00:13:59,905 Speaker 1: Me too. Yeah, So it doesn't have to be a 318 00:13:59,905 --> 00:14:02,385 Speaker 1: fancy stone you say to everyone, this is a ruby 319 00:14:02,465 --> 00:14:04,465 Speaker 1: or whatever. Yeah, I don't even know how much rubies are. 320 00:14:04,905 --> 00:14:06,945 Speaker 1: I agree with you there, I think that. I mean, 321 00:14:07,065 --> 00:14:09,265 Speaker 1: obviously I'm married, so i have a diamond. But other 322 00:14:09,305 --> 00:14:12,945 Speaker 1: than that, I'm not really going to spend big money 323 00:14:12,985 --> 00:14:16,505 Speaker 1: on fancy colored stones. I'm so happy for it to 324 00:14:16,545 --> 00:14:20,345 Speaker 1: be glass or whatever. Lab Grown is a really good 325 00:14:20,345 --> 00:14:22,185 Speaker 1: option if you are looking for sort of a statement 326 00:14:22,225 --> 00:14:24,825 Speaker 1: piece or a diamond piece. There's a brand called class 327 00:14:24,825 --> 00:14:29,465 Speaker 1: A Jewelry and they do lab grown diamonds. These earrings 328 00:14:29,465 --> 00:14:31,505 Speaker 1: I want to show you. They're called the Lunar oval 329 00:14:31,545 --> 00:14:34,785 Speaker 1: and paired diamond drop earrings. So they're very expensive, oney, 330 00:14:34,865 --> 00:14:38,665 Speaker 1: five hundred dollars. Look how tiny they are. So it's 331 00:14:38,705 --> 00:14:40,625 Speaker 1: like a little stud with a little tear drop, like 332 00:14:40,665 --> 00:14:42,305 Speaker 1: you could wear them every day. But that could also 333 00:14:42,345 --> 00:14:45,185 Speaker 1: look beautiful going to a wedding, and obviously if that 334 00:14:45,305 --> 00:14:47,705 Speaker 1: was real diamonds, that would be over ten thousand dollars. 335 00:14:48,025 --> 00:14:50,625 Speaker 1: So I think lab Grown's a really good option. Tony 336 00:14:50,665 --> 00:14:53,225 Speaker 1: May is a really beautiful Aussie brand Laura Burne, who 337 00:14:53,225 --> 00:14:55,785 Speaker 1: everyone probably knows from The Bachelor. It does a million jobs, 338 00:14:55,825 --> 00:14:57,665 Speaker 1: one of which has this beautiful jewelry brand. I've got 339 00:14:57,665 --> 00:15:00,705 Speaker 1: a few pieces from there. I think they're semi precious. 340 00:15:00,865 --> 00:15:04,905 Speaker 1: I don't care, they're affordable, they look good. And I 341 00:15:04,985 --> 00:15:07,065 Speaker 1: just wanted to mention a few other brands because I 342 00:15:07,145 --> 00:15:09,625 Speaker 1: feel like this here is kind of like where people 343 00:15:09,905 --> 00:15:12,945 Speaker 1: looking for not your Lavisa, which definitely has its place, 344 00:15:12,945 --> 00:15:16,145 Speaker 1: and I love Levisa we'll later, but not your ten 345 00:15:16,225 --> 00:15:20,345 Speaker 1: twenty thousand dollars. No one's gonna buy. So Linden Cook 346 00:15:20,425 --> 00:15:24,345 Speaker 1: I love. I first discovered Linden Cook at Mecca, believe 347 00:15:24,385 --> 00:15:26,425 Speaker 1: it or not, because what they have in there, it's 348 00:15:26,465 --> 00:15:28,665 Speaker 1: not makeup. They have a kit whereby you can take 349 00:15:28,665 --> 00:15:30,265 Speaker 1: a loved one. I took my son, who was a 350 00:15:30,305 --> 00:15:32,865 Speaker 1: toddler at the time, and he did an imprint of 351 00:15:32,905 --> 00:15:35,785 Speaker 1: his finger, like his fingerprints on a piece of plate 352 00:15:35,865 --> 00:15:38,225 Speaker 1: or whatever. They took it away and turned it into 353 00:15:38,225 --> 00:15:39,105 Speaker 1: a little pendant. 354 00:15:39,385 --> 00:15:40,385 Speaker 3: Oh that's so. 355 00:15:40,385 --> 00:15:44,025 Speaker 1: Really cute, which would be a beautiful gift.

Kristin Ash is another 362 00:16:02,145 --> 00:16:06,105 Speaker 1: beautiful Aussie brand, Monica Vinida. I think I'm saying that right. 363 00:16:06,105 --> 00:16:09,105 Speaker 1: She's not aussy, but I recently got a really fine 364 00:16:09,345 --> 00:16:12,305 Speaker 1: rose gold cuff and awesn't oh Good's extremely expensive. 365 00:16:12,985 --> 00:16:18,145 Speaker 3: Also, Christy Nikolas does some really the colorings.

But like you said, like that could 371 00:16:27,985 --> 00:16:29,465 Speaker 1: be great to go to a wedding, but like you 372 00:16:29,545 --> 00:16:32,065 Speaker 1: love jeans and a tea. Pop them on and it's like, whoa, 373 00:16:32,105 --> 00:16:34,625 Speaker 1: she's so cool. I like, get away with wearing it 374 00:16:34,665 --> 00:16:37,265 Speaker 1: to dinner. Yeah you do, right. I just think that 375 00:16:37,265 --> 00:16:38,945 Speaker 1: that middle of the road is what people are really 376 00:16:38,985 --> 00:16:39,625 Speaker 1: looking for. 377 00:16:39,625 --> 00:16:40,105 Speaker 3: For sure. 378 00:16:40,145 --> 00:16:42,545 Speaker 1: There's one more brand that I discovered on the Iconic. 379 00:16:42,585 --> 00:16:45,665 Speaker 1: It's called Meshka, and they have a like everything's sort 380 00:16:45,665 --> 00:16:50,385 Speaker 1: of you know, ninety bucks one fifty and kind of 381 00:16:51,185 --> 00:16:53,065 Speaker 1: semi precious. So again, I don't even know what they're 382 00:16:53,065 --> 00:16:55,905 Speaker 1: made of, but they're not boring. But they're not two 383 00:16:55,945 --> 00:17:00,025 Speaker 1: of the moment. They're just a personality. Yeah, I love them. 384 00:17:00,025 --> 00:17:02,305 Speaker 3: Definitely a nice sister gift, Yes. 385 00:17:02,225 --> 00:17:06,945 Speaker 1: That's true.

Yes, 387 00:17:12,905 --> 00:17:15,545 Speaker 1: but then I guess you wouldn't want to wear your 388 00:17:15,865 --> 00:17:21,065 Speaker 1: fancy diamond necklace into the ocean exactly exactly. So I'm 389 00:17:21,065 --> 00:17:22,865 Speaker 1: assuming people want to go on their beach holiday. I 390 00:17:22,865 --> 00:17:24,385 Speaker 1: want to go swimming.

They do some really delicate sort of chains. 443 00:19:27,745 --> 00:19:31,385 Speaker 1: They do lots of stuff and they've got beautiful necklaces, 444 00:19:31,385 --> 00:19:33,945 Speaker 1: earrings and a waterproof section so you don't have to 445 00:19:33,985 --> 00:19:37,025 Speaker 1: go out and buy real solid gold necklace to wear 446 00:19:37,065 --> 00:19:37,585 Speaker 1: in the ocean. 447 00:19:37,705 --> 00:19:38,945 Speaker 3: Definitely don't trust myself. 448 00:19:40,265 --> 00:19:42,665 Speaker 1: And also that's just Murphy's Laura.

My cheap sonnies have been going 450 00:19:44,625 --> 00:19:45,105 Speaker 1: for ten years. 451 00:19:45,145 --> 00:19:57,545 Speaker 4: Absolutely layering. 452 00:19:57,705 --> 00:20:01,385 Speaker 1: I love the look of layering, you know, bracelets, rings, 453 00:20:01,385 --> 00:20:04,185 Speaker 1: but I also think necklaces is a tricky one. But 454 00:20:04,305 --> 00:20:05,665 Speaker 1: I love the look. 455 00:20:05,585 --> 00:20:07,065 Speaker 2: It can add sort of like a little bit of 456 00:20:07,105 --> 00:20:09,305 Speaker 2: a playfulness I think as well in the everyday kind 457 00:20:09,305 --> 00:20:10,945 Speaker 2: of section, especially. 458 00:20:10,505 --> 00:20:12,105 Speaker 3: Like the mixed metals as well. 459 00:20:12,185 --> 00:20:14,465 Speaker 2: I think it really just it kind of reminds me 460 00:20:14,545 --> 00:20:16,505 Speaker 2: of all of the necklaces I used to put on 461 00:20:16,545 --> 00:20:17,025 Speaker 2: when I was. 462 00:20:16,945 --> 00:20:19,385 Speaker 1: Five, Yes, when you were actually layering them. 463 00:20:20,265 --> 00:20:20,465 Speaker 3: Yeah. 464 00:20:20,585 --> 00:20:22,985 Speaker 2: So look, I think layering is I find really fun. 465 00:20:23,225 --> 00:20:25,625 Speaker 2: But I also think again time and place. I think 466 00:20:25,665 --> 00:20:28,865 Speaker 2: also in terms of pairing, it's really important to consider 467 00:20:29,225 --> 00:20:32,505 Speaker 2: where your statement actually lies, whether that's the clothing that's 468 00:20:32,545 --> 00:20:35,105 Speaker 2: the arians, Because for instance, if you have a pair 469 00:20:35,145 --> 00:20:38,345 Speaker 2: of statement earians, it's probably best to sort of tone 470 00:20:38,345 --> 00:20:40,545 Speaker 2: it down the necklaces, so. 471 00:20:40,825 --> 00:20:43,745 Speaker 1: Yeah, let the earrings do the talking. Absolutely, I agree 472 00:20:43,785 --> 00:20:47,065 Speaker 1: with you there. I love a layering one, but I'm 473 00:20:47,105 --> 00:20:50,465 Speaker 1: not patient enough and they'll always twist, so I buy 474 00:20:51,145 --> 00:20:53,985 Speaker 1: already multi layer necklaces. But if you do have some 475 00:20:54,025 --> 00:20:56,785 Speaker 1: necklaces at home that you want to layer yourself, They've 476 00:20:56,825 --> 00:20:59,465 Speaker 1: got these really cool little it's called the Necklace Separator. 477 00:20:59,465 --> 00:21:01,305 Speaker 1: You can get one at Leve's, you can get them everywhere. 478 00:21:01,905 --> 00:21:05,145 Speaker 1: It's a little tiny bar with three classy things and 479 00:21:05,225 --> 00:21:09,105 Speaker 1: three circle things. I'm trying to We're going to put 480 00:21:09,425 --> 00:21:11,185 Speaker 1: the new is that a and then you clip your 481 00:21:11,225 --> 00:21:13,465 Speaker 1: necklaces to that so they're not all spinning around and 482 00:21:13,465 --> 00:21:16,985 Speaker 1: getting stuck. To do with layering. If you do want 483 00:21:16,985 --> 00:21:19,065 Speaker 1: to buy something that's already layer I'd probably go high 484 00:21:19,065 --> 00:21:22,465 Speaker 1: street or affordable with these.

I'm beautiful to look at, 525 00:23:02,705 --> 00:23:04,665 Speaker 1: but you know, they're pretty daggy. She's still alive and 526 00:23:04,705 --> 00:23:06,305 Speaker 1: I hope that is the case for a long time. 527 00:23:06,385 --> 00:23:08,945 Speaker 1: But if and when she leaves us. I found this 528 00:23:09,105 --> 00:23:12,985 Speaker 1: amazing Australian jeweler. They're called White November. You need to 529 00:23:12,985 --> 00:23:15,345 Speaker 1: follow them on Instagram because they show the pieces before 530 00:23:15,385 --> 00:23:16,905 Speaker 1: and you're like, oh, they're all lovely little pieces, and 531 00:23:16,945 --> 00:23:18,745 Speaker 1: then they show what they remodeled it into, like a 532 00:23:18,825 --> 00:23:21,705 Speaker 1: beautiful statement ring or signal, and then you've got those 533 00:23:21,745 --> 00:23:25,105 Speaker 1: memories of what those stones or that gold was.
