Hey, lovely folks! Who doesn't love a bit of sparkle and a splash of pink, am I right? Those of you who know me have just spat out their tea, scoffed and said 'You, for a start.'

You're not wrong. Pink clashes with my skin. And hair. and personality.  And yet... let me tell you, the excitement is real as I gear up for the Barbie movie. Pop culture is buzzing with that iconic, epitome-of-femininity style—a phenomenon known as Barbiecore. Yep, you heard it right! BARBIE AS FEMINIST ICON! I hear from reliable sources that the film is fabulous; self-aware, irreverent, high-camp, gender stereotypes are debunked, female sexuality is hilariously weaponised and the patriarchy is lampooned. I am HERE FOR IT. So I am preparing, in my own semi-goff way, to embrace uber-femininity. Even if just for one summer...

Barbie, brought to life by Mattel in 1959, has truly left her mark on the world of fashion. And guess what? Her influence is still going strong today. From her ever-evolving style to her trend-setting presence, Barbie continues to inspire us to embrace our own unique self-expression.

Now, let's talk bling, shall we? It IS why you're here. Modern jewellery is totally feeling the Barbie vibes, especially when it comes to vibrant and playful designs featuring colourful gemstones. These beauties perfectly capture the essence of Barbie's timeless allure, and they're making a statement in the fashion world. When one thinks of Barbie, pink is the first thing that comes to mind. Combine the vibrant shades of pinks seen in Pink Sapphire, Pink Tourmaline, Spinel, Pink Topaz, and Morganite for a palette that will stand out in a crowd. Yet Barbie is more than just the colour pink. She is everything glitz and glam. The sparkle seen in colourless stones like Diamond, Moissanite, White Sapphire, and White Topaz are sure to catch the eye. With a little pink and sparkle, why not complete the look? Looking back at Barbie’s looks throughout the decades, you can see her pair her pink with reds, blues, purples, and whites. Create a cohesive ensemble by including stones like Ruby, Aquamarine, Pearl, Amethyst, and Berry Sapphire.

As always, I have far more available than there is room for on my site - let me know what you're looking for?

So, dive into the heart of Barbiecore and discover those eye-catching gemstone aesthetics that even Barbie herself would adore. Get ready to embrace your inner Barbie and shine bright like the fabulous gem you are!
