First I heard about the gorgeous little love rings at H Samuel via The Frugality, then I was lucky enough to receive one for my birthday! And now even Grazia are reporting on H Samuel’s range.
H Samuel have love rings in two styles; an adjustable style, with crystals and available in rose-gold plate or sterling silver, and a full love, sized version in sterling silver with cubic zirconium. The sized version is the one I have and I absolutely love it. The CZs often catch the light in a really lovely way, and I think that the ring being a full band means that it should have a little longevity over the other option.
They’re reminiscent of more expensive brands but £29.99 is a bit of a bargain. I have worn my ring pretty much every day since I was given it (by Kathryn!) but it was only when I spotted the bracelets in Grazia that I realised that H Samuel is becoming A Thing.
Yes, you will have to wade through some pretty terrible jewellery to find some cute things. And yes, the H Samuel website isn’t great… But! I have long been a believer that I’d rather spend a couple of quid more on reasonably-priced ‘proper’ jewellery (semi-precious stones and metals, things that won’t turn your finger green) than buy jewellery from high street accessories shops. It’s why I have so many pieces from QVC, such as their Diamonique range: they last well and look brilliant.
I mean, how cute is H Samuel’s crystal pendant? £12.50 at the moment! I’d layer it with pieces of contrasting lengths.
So there you have it; for cute, everyday pieces, you could do a lot worse than H Samuel… Who knew?
UPDATE: that little pendant is from a brand called Martine Wester at H Samuel, and a fair few of the bits are really sweet and very CHEAP! These art deco studs are my pick, at £4.50.
