I am a magpie. If it glitters, I'd like it please. Well not exactly. Preferably it has to be gold as opposed to silver. Preferably it has to be a hoop earring, or a large gold ring, stacks of gold bracelets or layered gold curb chains. I realise that doesn't sound too tasteful when written down, but you can't deny your own truth, can you!
I'm a gold fiend, a jewellery hoarder and a Pawn Shop addict. As I write this, I have 17 earrings in, three gold rings on, three chains, two bracelets and an anklet. I am so sorry if that makes you feel claustrophobic, because it gets worse – I sleep with it all on. Long pause.
It's fair to say I'm au fait with bling and I know where to get the best gold in East (and some parts of South) London, and for the best price. Surprisingly, one of those steadfast outlets is Argos. Before you turn your nose up at it and make a wisecrack about what you used to do with the catalogue as an infant, have you seen the jewellery?
Here, for no reason whatsoever, is my love letter, to the unexpectedly beautiful Argos jewellery offering.
This simple gold crucifix is giving us Cruel Intentions vibes.
Simple, delicate and a discreet way to rock a hoop.
This would look extra special worn with another fine gold chain.
9ct Gold Double Sided Rope Edged St. Christopher Pendant, £69.99, Argos
Little bit Ray Winstone in Sexy Beast. 100% a statement with nothing else but a crisp white T-shirt and some denim.
We're into this purely based on the name: "belcher". Little bit Guy Ritchie movie, little bit Kanye. Whole lot of, yes.
Looks like an heirloom, is in fact a bargain. Thank you!
18ct Gold Plated Silver Tanzanite and Diamond Pendant, £34.99, Argos
Liz Taylor on a budget, no?
Sterling Silver Emerald Green Cubic Zirconia Drop Earrings, £24.99, Argos
The prettiest of lockets, for under £40.
9ct Gold and Sterling Silver Family Locket Pendant, £39.99, Argos
Every girl should have a pair.
Best friend pendants still as cute as they were in 1997. In a kitsch kinda way.
Like what you see? How about some more R29 goodness, right here?
