As I enter the final year of my 30s, I thought I s As I enter the final year of my 30s, I thought I share with you some pictures of mine at 9 months, 9 years, 19 years, 29 years  to today 39 years old of age. Looking back at each decade, I feel both ‘older’ and ‘younger’, I see the change in my features, the change in my way of life, the change in my personality and the experience itched on my face. I am grateful for the life I have lived thus far and excited for the life I am yet to live.

2026 - 39, (Home, England), I am ready for this final year before my 40s but also ready for this next decade. 
2016 - 29, (Oslo, Norway), this decade was about self discovery and building the life I dreamt about. The life that I am super proud of and truly grateful to be living. This decade, I built my financial life and in later years choose to heal from the trauma gained in the last decade and now I feel well equipped for the future. 
2006 - 19, (Glasgow, Scotland), I thought I was grown (look at the cheekbones 🤣🤣) and ready for the world, chiiiild was I wrong, let’s just say, I am still resolving the trauma the decade brought me but I am grateful because I met my best friends and made decisions for the future I wanted to have. (Spoiler alert - I did better than I dreamed). 
1996 - 9, (Home, Zambia) this was my birthday but my little sister insisted she had to be the one in the middle. The only way we knew whose birthday it was, was by standing in the middle but this year I remember baby sister crying her eyes out and refusing 🤨
1988 - 9 months, (Chililabombwe, Zambia) although my mother looks tired and traumatised😟, I know I was loved and happy.

Jewelry Trends for Spring/Summer 2025

Whether you have some summer weddings or are simply planning your ensembles for the months ahead, knowing the latest jewellery trends can bring your wardrobe up to date. 

The shift in season gives you the chance to redefine your style. Spring/summer 2025 will blend the nostalgic and the contemporary, with classic materials taking on new life in innovative designs. 

Whether you have some summer weddings or are simply planning your ensembles for the months ahead, knowing the latest jewellery trends can bring your wardrobe up to date. 

*Disclosure – This is a collaborative post.

The new baroque pearls

Baroque pearls are quickly becoming statement pieces in contemporary jewellery. Their irregular, organic shapes add a natural elegance that feels effortless yet luxurious. Designers are pairing these luminous gems with gold accents. 

To embrace this trend, look for pieces where the pearls take center stage, whether dangling from delicate hoops or strung together in asymmetrical strands. 

Colourful gemstones

Spring and summer call for bold hues and this season’s jewellery reflects that with an explosion of vibrant gemstones. Shades like aqua, cobalt, and deep garnet are making an impact in rings, pendants, and oversized earrings. These rich colours bring energy and individuality to your style, whether you’re layering multiple stones in a stackable ring set or wearing a single, eye-catching pendant. 

Pairing colourful gemstones with existing pieces, such as engagement rings or heirloom jewellery, can create a beautifully cohesive look. If you gravitate toward neutral clothing, a gemstone statement piece is a perfect way to introduce colour without altering your wardrobe staples. 

Charm necklaces

Jewellery becomes deeply personal when it tells a story, and charm necklaces are making a major comebackas sentimental, customized accessories. Unlike past iterations that leaned heavily into nostalgia, today’s designs are striking and modern. 

Layering delicate chains with charms that represent your interests, achievements, or personal milestones allows you to create a signature piece that evolves with you. 

Silver jewellery

While gold has dominated for several seasons, silver is reclaiming its place as a fashion-forward choice. This metal’s cool, reflective quality adds a sleek, contemporary feel to both minimalist and ornate designs. From sculptural rings to layered cuffs and geometric earrings, silver jewellery brings a fresh, polished aesthetic to any outfit. 

If you typically wear gold, consider introducing silver through mixed-metal pieces. This will allow for a gradual transition while expanding your styling options. The resurgence of silver also complements the season’s love for bold gemstones and organic shapes, making it easy to integrate the different trends into your collection without clashing with existing favourites.

This season, your jewellery can express your style and your love of current trends. Spring/Summer 2025 is all about making statements that feel modern and timeless. Choose the pieces that resonate with you and wear them with confidence.
