When it comes to choosing jewellery, the metal matters just as much as the design. At Radish & Pear, every piece starts with one question: Which metal is the best choice for this design and for the person wearing it?

If Harry Styles Opened The Radish & Pear Jewellery Box There are two things Harry Styles never misses with: outfits and accessories. So naturally, I had to imagine which Radish & Pear pieces would pair with some of my favourite looks of his… Nothing says Harry Styles quite like a giant pink feather coat and metallic trousers. This look feels loud, joyful and unapologetically extra, so I paired it with jewellery that felt equally playful — real 18k gold plated pink enamel huggie earrings, heart details on our Love Struck earrings, and colourful gemstones on our brand new beautiful 18k gold plated necklace that look like they belong backstage at Love On Tour. Gemstone Rainbow Necklace, Candy Crush Enamel Huggies & Love Struck Huggies.      Next up, this look feels like Harry Styles in his rockstar era — stripped back, monochrome and effortlessly cool. I paired it with silver pieces that still feel playful enough to match his style: stars, moons and chunky hearts that look like they belong under stage lights. Moonlit Dreamer Earrings, Cosmos Ring, Heart Drops Earrings Next up... there's something about a green and purple sparkly Harry Styles look that already feels a little otherworldly — bold, theatrical, and full of movement. I wanted the jewellery to sit in that same universe rather than sit beside it. The Life on Mars earrings felt like the obvious match — they lean into that cosmic, slightly surreal energy and feel like they belong on stage. The Purple Gem Dewdrops echo the shimmer in the outfit, pulling the purple tones through so everything feels cohesive and intentional. And the Chunky Over Chain grounds all the sparkle, adding that cool, structured contrast that keeps the look from feeling too floaty. Together, it all feels like one story — glam, playful, and just a little bit out of this world. Lover Necklace, Life On Mars Earrings, Purple Dewdrops Earrings Next up, GREEN.  There’s something really striking about a green-and-white striped Harry Styles look — it already feels playful, a bit theatrical, and very character-led. I wanted the jewellery to lean into that same sense of personality rather than just match it. The Elphaba piece fits instantly because it deepens the green tones and adds that slightly powerful, witchy edge — like a nod to something bold and unapologetic within the softness of the stripes. The Starry Night Mini brings in that dreamy, painterly contrast, almost like a quiet night sky sitting against a very graphic daytime look. And the Signature Pear Ringadds the final touch of charm — simple, a little unexpected, and very “Radish & Pear” in spirit, softening everything without losing impact. Together, it feels like a balance of bold character, quiet romance, and playful detail — exactly the kind of contrast this outfit deserves. Signature Pear Ring, Elphaba - Gold, Starry Night - Mini    Ultimately, it’s all about styling jewellery in a way that feels expressive rather than expected. Each piece — from statement earrings to sterling silver rings and layered chains — is chosen to complement bold fashion moments and elevate standout outfits. Whether it’s colourful, theatrical looks or softer, more whimsical styling, the right jewellery can completely transform an outfit into something more personal and memorable. At Radish & Pear, we believe in playful, unique 925 sterling silver jewellery, designed to be mixed, matched, and worn as part of your own story. We hope you enjoyed! Who shall I style next? Love, Anna xxx

It's that time of year again, where we judge the most extravagant outfits of with rich and famous while eating cup noodles in our sweats from our sofas. Every year, i'm here for it.  Ok so I won't be judging here, but I will be PEARing our jewellery with some of my favourite outifts. What a dream collab if there ever was one? So here we go... met gala x radish & pear  BLAKE LIVELY:  A pastel, princess dream — and somehow she outdoes herself every single year. This look feels like golden hour bottled into a dress… soft yellows melting into lilacs and blush tones, with just enough sparkle to catch the light without overpowering it. So when it came to PEARing her with Radish & Pear, it had to feel just as dreamy — but still playful. The Life on Mars earrings bring in those subtle cosmic tones that mirror the lilac shimmer through the bodice (like tiny constellations stitched into the dress). The Meadow Mist hoops add that soft, romantic colour story — think scattered petals, sunlight, and a little bit of magic. And of course, the signature Pear ring… because it felt almost illegal not to. It ties everything together in that slightly whimsical, slightly iconic way we love. Nothing too heavy. Nothing competing. Just pieces that feel like they belong in her world. Because this isn’t a look you accessorise loudly…it’s one you float alongside.   Next up! Hailey Bieber:  This look is all about contrast — liquid gold against that deep, inky blue.  So the jewellery had to follow that same energy: intentional, but never overdone. The Gemstone Rainbow Necklace brings in that unexpected pop of colour — scattered, playful stones against such a sleek silhouette. It breaks up the seriousness just enough (because Hailey always has that edge). The Cosmic Love hoops keep things grounded in gold, tying back to the structure of the top while adding a subtle, sculptural feel. And the Under the Stars earrings? A 925 sterling silver little sparkle, a little attitude — like the final detail you only notice when she turns her head. It’s clean. It’s cool. It’s curated. Because this isn’t about layering everything on…it’s about knowing exactly when to stop   Sabrina Carpenter: Ethereal… but make it dangerous. This look feels like midnight magic — sheer layers, shimmering details, and just enough edge to stop it from feeling too delicate. It’s giving celestial goddess who knows exactly what she’s doing. So the jewellery had to meet her there. The Glinda earrings bring that soft, sculptural shine — almost like droplets of light against all that darkness. Subtle, but still catching every flash of the camera. The Moonlit Dreamer hoops lean fully into the theme… stars, moons, a little bit of chaos. They move with her, adding that dreamy, otherworldly feel. The Cosmos ring ties it all together — scattered stones that feel like a tiny galaxy sitting on her hand. Playful, but still powerful. Because this look isn’t about being pretty…it’s about being mesmerising. Amanda Syfried:  Understated… but completely unforgettable. Another ethereal moment — soft, polished, and quietly stealing the show. Amanda always leans into that timeless, almost otherworldly energy… and it just works. So I wanted to keep this one simple, cute, and considered. The Hummingbird earrings feel light and delicate — like a tiny detail you only notice up close. The Love Struck earrings add that soft sparkle… nothing loud, just enough to catch the light in all the right moments. And the Candy Crush Enamel Hoops bring a subtle pop of personality — a little playful twist to break up the classic feel. Because with a look like this, it’s not about doing more…it’s about choosing just enough. Which one are you going for? 🍐✨ Chase Infinity: Sleek, statement, and just the right amount of bold. This look doesn’t try to be soft — it’s confident, clean, and made to stand out. Everything feels intentional, from the structure to the shine. So the jewellery had to hold its own. The Gemstone Necklace does exactly that — adding colour, depth, and a little bit of attitude against such a strong silhouette. It draws the eye without overwhelming it. Then it’s between the Cosmic Love hoops or the Rainbow Lightning earrings… Cosmic Love keeps things refined — sculptural, polished, and effortlessly cool. LAYERING the necklaces with our stainless steel Sunset Necklace, adding depth and sophistication.  It really comes down to the mood. Do you keep it sleek…or add a spark? Cosmic Love or Rainbow Lightning? ⚡️✨ Kim Kardashian: Maximum impact… obviously. This look is all about drama — sculpted, cinched, unapologetically bold. Nothing is accidental, everything is placed to be seen. So the jewellery? It had to rise to the occasion. The Gemstone Rainbow Necklace brings that full spectrum shine — catching the light from every angle and adding depth against such a statement silhouette. The Heart Drop earrings in gold soften things ever so slightly… a little romance tucked into all that power. And the Afterglow Rainbow Half Hoops? Pure glow. They frame the face and pull everything together with that signature Radish & Pear playfulness. It’s layered. It’s intentional. It’s a lot — but in a way that works. Because if there was ever a time to go all in…this is it. Are you layering everything or picking one hero piece? I had so much fun doing this, maybe I could do a part two? You will also find this post on my Instagram if you want to go and comment which one is your fave! Love Anna xxx

Full Circle Moment Radish & Pear was born out of the world of handmade, a crazy FIVE years ago. It began with £50 in my account, and a lockdown that gave endless free time to delve into whatever project I wished. So, I bought some polymer clay online, some jewellery findings such as hooks and Huggies, and spent countless hours glued to YouTube, trying over and over and over, to find the best techniques, how to create the best colours and colour ways, where do I source the best cutters? and so on. It was the best and most exciting experience ever for me, that's why I HAD to revive my love for it... One-Of-A-Kind Collection So now, a good 3 years after I stopped hand-making my products, Radish & Pear handmade is back in a one-of-a-kind limited collection! We are BACK! We're like, so back! I feel like this is a full circle moment; handmade was where Radish & Pear began, and bringing it back now feels intentional, emotional, and if I'm honest a little bit terrifying! What I've always wanted to do for you all at Radish & Pear, is create a world for you. And we've had many: Taylor Swift, Alice In Wonderland, Celestial, Queen's Gambit (my favourite collection of all time, I had to source chess piece cutters from Sweden!), Devil Wears Prada (where I made everything floral, IYKYK), and so so many more.  Night & Day This theme I've chosen is 'Night & Day'. The idea was to reflect two moods (I didn't have enough patience to create 5 colours palettes for my 5 different personalities HA) by creating two palettes, where two sides of our personality could meet. It grew from hours of sketching, colour testing, building mood boards, making then taking apart and remaking until it felt exactly ‘Radish & Pear’... I chose materials that were in line with the feel and quality of Radish & Pear: playful, elegant and fun. I sourced 925 sterling silver and 18k gold plated clasps and jump rings, and real freshwater pearls. I will never compromise on quality, EVER.  The coloured pearls are often mistaken for glass or imitation, but they are genuine freshwater pearls. Their colour comes from careful dyeing, a common and traditional process that allows pearls to take on dreamy, unexpected shades while still keeping their natural lustre, texture and individuality. Each one is slightly different, which is part of what makes them so special! The DAY 🧡 pieces are a daydream of our signature Radish and Pear colours, motifs such as florals, shells…and I was also inspired by the sign ‘Daylight’ by Taylor Swift, go play it and that’s the vibe I wanted these pieces to give!  The 'Night' pieces unfold in gorgeous lilacs and deep blues. I wanted celestial but al It’s inspired by your favourite pieces such as the Dreamcatcher Stars and Life On Mars! It's celestial vibe, it's magical, it's that cosy feeling you get at night when you look at the stars. UGH. I LOVE it.Every shade has been meticulously chosen, each piece genuinely designed with you in mind, and me picturing you wearing it… I even had some specific loyal customers in mind as a base line of inspiration ‘would so and so wear this?’ If yes, then I stick with it! I want you to feel special in these and I want it to feel magical from the moment you wear it  This is a one-of-a-kind, limited handmade jewellery collection, and once it’s gone, it really is gone!!!   Here are a few photos of me matching up my finished products to my mood boards I'd created. I'm actually super proud of how well I kept to it!  Look at those blues, in the words of Taylor Swift 'catastrophic bluessssss'  A sneak peek at one of our Daisy necklaces! I'm obsessed with how they all look together... Erm, how dreamy? Our beautiful bracelets, I'm now fully back being a bracelet girlie...  drippppppping in pearls! Our Blue Dreamstar Necklace - aAHHH!! Daisy Necklace... Our Sunbeam Shell Necklace is a dreaaaaaam!! If you've got this far, THANK YOU. This collection means more to me than I can put into words. Thank you for being here, for supporting Radish & Pear, and for allowing me to keep creating worlds for you. I can’t wait to see how you wear Night & Day. Love, Anna xoxoxo

🌟 Our Biggest Launch Yet: 4 New Whimsical Jewellery Collections in 925 Sterling Silver & Gold Plating Last week marked our biggest Radish & Pear launch in nearly two years—and I don’t say that lightly. This one felt different. More intentional, more joyful, and deeply me. After a long period of feeling pulled in too many directions, I made the decision to simplify. To scale back the quantityof pieces and pour all my energy into what Radish & Pear has always stood for: meaningful, playful, story-led designmade with care. Instead of releasing dozens of new items, I slowed down. I researched and explored dreamy themes, just like in the early Radish & Pear days—taking them very literally, which is what makes each piece so fun and full of character. Every collection in this launch has been carefully designed from scratch, made using high-quality 925 sterling silver, with either real 18k gold plating or rhodium plating for lasting shine, durability, and comfort on sensitive skin. We’ve returned to the magic that is Radish & Pear. Let’s dive in (pun very much intended) 🐚👇 🐚 Under the Sea Collection – Ocean-Inspired Jewellery This collection was born from my lifelong love of the ocean—and a very real desire to become a mermaid.The Under the Sea Collection is filled with playful, beachy jewelry inspired by seashells, rippling waves, pearl drops, and the shimmer of sunlit saltwater. Each piece is a tiny treasure, designed to make you feel like you’ve just returned from a magical coastal adventure.

The Signature Pear Collection was designed entirely from scratch—a love letter to the brand’s origin story and everything it’s grown into.Each pear piece is vintage-inspired, timeless, and made to be worn forever.

In this capsule you’ll discover: Sterling silver pear pendants 18k gold-plated pear earrings with a soft, sculptural finish Signature pear rings that are understated but full of character These are signature Radish & Pear pieces—bold in concept, minimal in form, and full of heart. 💫 Why We’re Keeping It Small (On Purpose) Even with four fresh new collections, you’ll notice fewer pieces overall—and that’s fully intentional.I didn’t want this launch to be about quantity. I wanted to create slow, meaningful, well-crafted jewellery using only the best materials: 925 sterling silver, known for its longevity and hypoallergenic properties 18k gold plating, for warmth and richness Rhodium plating, for tarnish resistance and a cooler silver shine We’ve returned to the roots of Radish & Pear: storytelling through design, small-batch releases, and super unique jewellery that actually means something. 🌊 Ready to Dive In? Whether you're drawn to the ocean’s mystery, the garden’s softness, the sky’s wonder, or the pear’s quiet charm—there’s something in this launch for you.These pieces were made slowly, intentionally, and with love. I hope you feel that when you wear them. Thank you for being here—and for believing in the magic of Radish & Pear 🐚💖

  The story, behind Radish & Pear, her design inspirations, the brand's creative journey, and exciting plans for the future. A must-read...   What inspired you to start Radish & Pear, and how did you come up with the name? Is there a story behind it? Radish & Pear was a lockdown baby. Hehe. I was cooped up in my house, just like everyone else at that time, and I decided to create things to lift my own morale in the way I have since I was a child - by creating.  I painted, sketched, and then I started to sew... and this is where it all began. I ordered Liberty London fabric and began to sew face masks. I initially sold them on my personal instagram, and when friends of friends began getting in touch for masks, I decided to make a separate page.  At the time, our family dog Radish, a gorgeous jack Russell terrier, was in lockdown with us! He was my absolute world and, along with me being super sentimental about everything (which my followers know from the meanings I attach to each piece I create) I, naturally, wanted to name my brand after him. I always wanted it to be Radish and 'something' and the first thing that came to my head was and ‘Pear’ was the first thing that came to mind—it just fit! It’s funny: one of the most common comments I hear at markets is about how much people love the name, its playful and unexpected pairing. Those reactions always mean so much to me. Can you walk us through your design process? Where do you find inspiration, and how do your ideas evolve into finished pieces? Since I don’t come from a traditional design background, my creative process is wonderfully old-school and ‘free-flowing.’ I sketch everything by hand, letting my ideas take shape on paper without following the conventional ‘do’s and don’ts’ of jewellery design. I don’t believe art should be bound by rules, and I think this freedom is what makes my designs so unique. I find inspiration in anything that moves me. The latest Daydreamer Collection, a favourite with our R&P community, was inspired by my love for all things mystical: clouds, rainbows, hearts (symbolising love), and, of course, pears! Clouds have been a staple design in Radish & Pear since it began in 2020! Does Radish & Pear follow current jewellery trends, or do you take a different approach to ensure each piece stays unique and true to your brand's vision? I'm definitely aware of trends in the jewellery industry, but I don’t like to focus on them too heavily. I believe it’s important to stay true to what makes Radish & Pear unique—designs that are a little different, a little unexpected. If we simply followed trends, we wouldn’t be staying true to our roots, and we’d lose what sets us apart. Radish & Pear is about embracing individuality, and it’s this commitment to creating something different that makes the brand stand out Where do you see Radish & Pear heading in the future? Are there any exciting goals or plans you’d like to share? I absolutely see Radish & Pear in multiple stores across the UK—that’s the next big step, goal, and dream for the brand. Honestly, if I’m being completely honest, I have a million dreams for Radish & Pear, but I want to take things one step at a time. My focus is on making sure we grow at a healthy pace, without rushing. It’s about building the foundation right so we can continue to thrive in the long run. I hope to keep on making jewellery that makes people feel amazing for a long time to come.  Any words of encouragement for those wanting to embark on their own business journey? Don’t be afraid of failure—it’s going to happen more times than you can count, and I hate to break it to you, but that’s okay. Failure doesn’t mean anything, if that makes sense. It doesn’t mean you should give up or that you're a terrible business owner. It just means you're human, and you’re learning and growing. This industry is tough, and you need that mindset to keep going, to pick yourself up and start again. It’s a cliché, but it’s true: I’ve learned so much from my mistakes, both in business and in my personal life. It’s all part of the journey, and it’s what shapes you in the end.    

October was a fantastic month for Radish & Pear, and there are so many things I could write about, but I thought I'd recap my highlight of the month which was...the London Welsh Market! 

925 Sterling Silver vs. Silver Plated: Why the Difference Matters When it comes to choosing jewellery, one of the most important decisions is the material. You might have heard of both 925 sterling silver and silver plated, but what's the difference? And more importantly, why does it matter?

A sneak peek behind the scenes at our Daydreamer Collection photoshoot!
