Looking for summertime accessories to stack or stand alone? Here are our top picks from Irish jewellers Betty & Biddy.

Jewellery is a form of self-expression, a concept that Betty & Biddy have expertly executed. They create everyday statements to “empower, inspire and elevate”, from trending necklaces and stackable bracelets to bold earrings and bridal jewellery.

The brand was founded by Fiona Fitzsimons nearly a decade ago. With a background in analytical chemistry and environmental sustainability, Fiona’s eye for sparkle and shine began as a hobby before Betty & Biddy blossomed into the successful business it is today – the Irish market leader for online jewellery

With a range of affordable, exquisite accessories on offer, the jewellery emporium is the perfect go-to for summer staples to zhuzh up your wardrobe.

Team IMAGE’s top jewellery picks

Emily Farrell, Social Media Manager

“I wear the Flat Curb Chain necklace from Betty & Biddy every day, it’s perfect to wear on its own or layer with other pieces.

“I also have my eye on The Crescent Moon hoops – they look like the perfect everyday earrings.”

Megan Burns, Deputy Editor, IMAGE & IMAGE Interiors

“I love a simple but chunky necklace, and this one is the perfect way to make even a basic t-shirt look a little more dressed up.

“I’m not going to get into how many pairs of gold hoops I have, but I also love a variation on the theme, like this asymmetrical, molten-effect pair that looks so elevated (and helps me feel like I’m mixing things up a little!)

“Delicate but interesting, I love simple rings like this one that can be stacked with more statement designs to create a unique combination.”

Sarah Gill, Staff Writer

“Though minimalist dressing isn’t exactly my forte, on those days where I want to pare things back, I absolutely love letting my jewellery do the talking. Betty and Biddy make layering easy, so between the more sleek, simple and stylish chains, I like to add in some more statement pieces.

“I thoroughly enjoy letting little bits of personality poke through, so whether it’s the colour-pop enamel hoops or the glinting Libra script, there’s something for the eye to land on. And yes, the Harp Coin is symbolic of my love for Guinness.”

Lizzie Gore-Grimes, Editor-In-Chief

“I love this Beaded Ball bracelet in 18-carat gold plate. It sits really comfortably on your wrist and is perfect for layering up with other summer bright bracelets.

“I put these Curved Hoop earrings on the other night to go out and have not taken them off since! They are so easy to wear and go with everything. Their bright tone also gives the complexion a nice boost.”

Marlene Wessels, Art Director

“I love the simplicity of the link bracelet, without being boring. It is chunky enough to wear it on its own or to stack it with other bracelets.

“This is the perfect hoop earring, not too big, not too small, not too thick and not too thin.”

Hannah Stapleton, Marketing Intern

“I’m loving the Solo Evil Eye – perfect for a summer layering look. I’d also wear it on its own as a small statement necklace.

“Summer weddings are in full swing, and oftentimes it is hard to find a nice statement earring to match all your occasion wear. These Grá Heart Hoops are stunning, I adore them!”

Sarah Finnan, Deputy Digital Editor

“Growing up, I only ever wore silver jewellery but I’ve been loving the mixed metals look recently and have been incorporating much more gold into my day-to-day. A good pair of hoops will see you through many seasons and I’ve been wearing these ones on rotation this summer.

“I also love layering my necklaces and this chain adds just the right amount of interest to an outfit. More is more when it comes to jewellery if you ask me!”

Shayna Sappington, Senior Branded Content Writer

“One glance into my wardrobe will show that I’m a girl for the basics, sticking to neural clothes I can mix and match. So, when it comes to jewellery, I tend to go for subtle pops of colours to help elevate my outfits. This sky blue and gold bracelet does exactly that. Plus, even though it’s one piece, it looks layered for minimal effort.”

“I’ve been wearing this delicate gold necklace every day for the past few weeks. It’s super easy to layer and I adore the studded moon and star combination – dreamy!”

Emily O’Neill, Marketing Account Executive

“The Pearl Drop Huggie from Betty & Biddy’s ‘Celebrate’ collection is the perfect accessory for day or night. It adds a delicate touch to any look and it also makes the perfect bridal earring or gift for brides to be.

“You are my sun, my moon and all my stars – Betty & Biddy’s ‘All My Stars’ necklace is at the top of my wish list this summer. The mix of blue star stones on the pendant will add a subtle pop of colour to any outfit.

“One of my favourite pieces from the entire Betty & Biddy collection is the Knot Bangle. It can be layered with delicate bracelets or stacked with other bangles. Another one on my wishlist this summer!”

Simone Kennedy, Senior Event & Partnerships Executive 

“Baby showers are becoming frequent events for me and the Celebrate: Letter Script Mama Necklace is a thoughtful and stylish gift for all moms-to-be.

“I rarely leave the house without a pair of gold hoops on and Oval Block Gold Hoop are the perfect everyday chunky hoop.

“Also, the Pearl and Link Choker Necklace is in my ‘holiday’ shopping basket. It will definitely elevate any beach look.”
