Our collective fascination with the stars never wavers - so it’s unsurprising that it’s a recurring theme in the jewellery world.
Zodiac-themed embellishments and celestial treasures saturate the market, with all labels from fine jewellers to high street brands creating their own galaxies of starry pieces for consumers to gaze at longingly.
All-things astrology have seen a strong resurgence in 2023/24, with The Sliding Door Wardrobe Company noting that the hashtag #starsigns has accrued over 162,000 videos on TikTok, while #astrology has over 3.5 million videos and a huge 79.4 billion views.
Pandora UK further revealed website searches for astrological birthstones have risen by 80 per cent in the last three months alone, which isn’t surprising considering Livat Hammersmith documented that 33 per cent per cent of people admit they have more knowledge about astrology and horoscopes than the universe and 56 per cent said they feel in awe when they look up into the vastness of the night sky.
Dare we say that with the ever-increasing popularity of celestial pieces, zodiac jewels seem a bit on the nose. Beautiful as they are, the gems are now a mainstream category.
Cue constellation jewellery, which exudes the mystical elegance of a zodiac piece without coming across as an astrology lover’s identifier.
Constellation jewels, be them necklaces, earrings, bracelets or watches, offer a sprinkling of stones in the formation of the stars. They typically represent zodiac signs in a more subtle manner, forming distinctive constellation collections that appear in the night sky.
Constellation jewellery is also a touching way to commemorate a loved one. Perhaps you wish your relationship to be written in the stars (how very Romeo and Juliet of you) or you wish to have a lucky star watching over you. Even if they represent a certain star sign, constellation pieces don’t have to solely reference the zodiac.
Discover the best constellation jewellery and invest in a twinkling piece that’s out of this world.
