My Jewellery Box of Dreams; Charlie Hough - Jewellery Buyer

Introducing Charlie Hough; Junior Buyer – Goldsmiths Bridal and Diamond

I love everything about jewellery! I have been in this trade for 14 years and jewellery has always been my passion. Jewellery plays such a significant role in our lives, we use it to celebrate our love for each other with engagement rings, wedding rings and eternity rings, and we use it to express our own personal style and fashion choices. Jewellery can hold a sentimentality that many products can’t. Items are passed down from generation to generation to be worn again and given a new lease of life. Jewellery can be classic and timeless to fully trend led and designed. I love it!

I’d say my favourite gemstone has to be Labradorite. Although not a very well-known gemstone, it’s absolutely stunning. I love it because it changes colour depending on the light and the angle at which you hold the stone.

In terms of style, I choose classic and timeless. You can’t go wrong with a good classic line bracelet or necklace or a beautifully set gemstone piece that is designed around that stone to display its true beauty. I love to invest in one beautiful piece that truly speaks to me.

I am a Homebird through and through. Being a mum of two young kids you have to think about your jewellery choices, especially with young babies who love to pull at a necklace or a dangly earring. But I believe that every day you should always look to accessorise yourself with jewellery. Even if it’s just putting in a few different earrings in to embrace the trend of ear curation or layering two or more necklaces to compliment your outfit. I am always thinking about the jewellery I wear. Even if I am just wearing my engagement ring, wedding band and eternity ring, my love and jewellery style is always there.
