Topman jewellery, who’d a thunk it?

If you forget plastic neon rosary beads and cheesy dogtags, Topman actually has some really good jewellery on offer. Wandering around Topman yesterday I was surprised to find a range of fun stud earrings among the T4-style dodginess. The red articulated skeletons are a standout favourite of mine, the numbers are pretty sweet and instore they also had little paperclips and creepy sperms (who would want them on their ear? Oh that’s right, Giselle would).

It reminded me of going to the jewllery shop on Thurloe Place after school and picking out some of their 50p a pop studs. We all had miniature taps, nails, peace signs, boots and other little things poking out from our ears. Tresemme cool. That also brings me back to learning how to raise one eyebrow by holding a Travelcard over the dormant one, good times!

Back to the jewellery, also on the Topman site is their jewelry range in collaboration with Husam El Odeh but not for long as it’s all on sale. It’s a whimsical collection with references to car mechanics. My favourite piece is the little soldier pendant, it looks like he’s shimmying up the silver chain. It’s fun yet still quite delicate and you can bet not that many other women will be wearing it, I’m buying one now for the bargain price of £10, get it before it’s gone!
