Did you Nigella Lawson wears clip on earrings? Naturally we do, having supplied earrings to the darling of television kitchen decadence on several occasions.

In November’s Good Housekeeping magazine, Nigella took a special interview which painted some other sides to her than in her TV cook shows. We’ve always loved the fact that she’s not ashamed to admit she loves food and knew she loves online shopping but it was surprise to hear she can’t wrap without making a book end up looking like a bottle of wine!

As delighted as we were to help Nigella look as stunning as she does, we were even more pleased to hear that a new book and TV show are out! Nigella Kitchen is currently showing on BBC2 (iplayer has catch up episoides) and her new book, Kitchen: Recipes from the Heart of the Home is out now.  Having drooled over her deliciously Christmasy Seasonally Spiced Nuts, we’re sure Nigella is set to be the flavour of the season yet again!

There’s nothing like real gold to make you feel great. Not only does gold go up in value – it’s rocketed from US$37 and ounce in 1970 to over US$1350 as I write this – it has many other desirable qualities. Gold earrings don’t rush and age like some fashion jewellery made from metal alloys can. It’s also hypo-allergenic so your ears will only feel pretty wearing it. It also has symbollic meanings in many cultures around the world. Some equate it with the sun, others with love, fortune and wisdom.

Whilst we’ve long offered many clip on earrings with gold plated clips, our new collection from designer Rodney Holman features many 18ct gold clip earring lines in classic stylings. It’s proved an instant success and here are some of our favourite highlights:

Rodney Holman Gold Plate CZ Solitaire Clip On Earrings

Rodney Holman Faux Vintage Gold Plated Pink Flower Clip Earrings

Rodney Holman Gold Plated Triple Curled Clip On Earrings

All these clip on earrings are made to last and are presented boxed. Most feature comfort features including rubber comfort bungs and indeed of clip on earring designers, Rodney Holman is consistently rated as one of the most comfortable to wear.

Since launching our range of pierced to clip on earring converters we’ve been amazed how many requests we’ve had. We’re listening and one new innovation we’ve launched is a screw on version of our popular no bend earring converters:

Screw On No Bend Pierced to Clip Earring Converter Gold

No bend earring converters are ideal for dangle earrings and the screw on fitting gives you much finer control over how tightly they grip your ears. The range start from £4.99 for a pair and are hypo-allergenic and available in gold and silver.

It’s been big, long party and all along we had that sinking feeling in our heart that told us sooner or later the relationship was going to be over and that they’d leave us for another. We knew it was coming. Yet we couldn’t hope for a better partner to take the Glam Chick Gold Mesh Earrings away to Derbyshire.
