October is almost here and this month’s birthstones already feel extra special in our family.

Both my husband and our daughter were born in October, so Opal and Tourmaline have always held a soft spot in my heart. In this episode I share why I love these two beautiful stones, what makes each one unique, and how they work best in jewellery.

You’ll hear about the magical colour play of Opals, the gorgeous range of Tourmaline shades (including watermelon), and a couple of anniversary traditions you might not know. I also talk about which pieces suit everyday wear and which are better saved for special occasions.

Whether you’re an October baby, celebrating a birthday or anniversary, or simply love these stones, I’d love to help you find the perfect piece.

Do you have old gold jewellery sitting in a drawer that you never wear?

It could be an old chain, a broken ring or a piece that just isn’t your style anymore.

In this episode, I talk about how I can assess your old gold and look at whether it can be recycled or put towards something new.

Instead of leaving it in the back of a drawer, you could turn it into something personal that you’ll actually wear and enjoy.

If you have old gold jewellery you’re not sure what to do with, have a listen.

Planning a surprise proposal but have no idea what ring size to choose?

One of the questions I get asked regularly is how to find out your partner’s or loved one’s ring size without them knowing — and without giving away the surprise!

In this episode, I’m sharing my top 5 tips for getting as close as possible to the right ring size, including borrowing a ring they already wear, asking friends or family for help, comparing their rings to your own finger and using a photo and ruler as a guide.

And if you’re still unsure, I’ll also explain why choosing a slightly larger size can be a safer option and what happens if the ring needs to be resized after the proposal.

Because the perfect proposal doesn’t need to start with knowing every detail — sometimes you just need a few clever tricks to keep the surprise intact! 💍

Listen now for my 5 tips and save this episode if you’re planning a surprise proposal.

September’s birthstone is Sapphire, a gemstone known for its beautiful colour, timeless elegance and durability.

My Birthday is in September, and I’ve always loved Sapphires for their beauty and incredible rainbow of colours.

Sapphires are the second-hardest natural gemstone after diamonds, making them both a beautiful and practical choice for jewellery.

And Sapphires aren’t just blue. They can also be found in beautiful shades of pink, purple, orange, teal, yellow, green and even white. Every Sapphire is unique, with its own colour, character and natural inclusions.

Sapphires are also traditionally associated with the 5th and 45th wedding anniversaries, making them a meaningful way to celebrate a special milestone.

So, whether you’re a September baby, celebrating a birthday or anniversary, or looking for a meaningful gift or engagement ring, I’d love to help. Send me a DM and together we can find the perfect Sapphire for you. 💙
