Being a bit of a silver jewellery bunny, I’ve been on the lookout for gold jewellery with a modern twist so that I can enjoy the best of both worlds when it comes to accessorising outfits. When I spotted the Lightning Bolt Necklace by Trend Tonic I literally felt my hair stand on end, and instantly connected to it, and so I knew that I had to have it!
Lightning bolts symbolise transformation and enlightenment; the power of insight and spiritual awakening to illuminate the mind and bring profound realisations. A bolt of lightning is also a traditional symbol of sudden illumination and the destruction of ignorance which makes this beautiful piece of jewellery also so meaningful to me.
Curiosity led me to read up about the founder and CEO of Trend Tonic, the amazing Kerry Clayton, who launched her brand in 2019 as a fellow mother of two young children. Born with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which is a connective tissue disorder that causes her daily pain, she aimed to create a range of jewellery that offered mood-boosting bright colours and patterns, whilst also being hypoallergenic and lightweight for maximum comfort.
Trend Tonic create the most beautifully uplifting jewellery that is not only functional, but also looks amazing with zero fuss. They design shapes that flatter, are timeless and easy to wear from the school run all the way to a night out. Due to their inspirational story they have appeared in national magazines, are worn regularly on TV by celebrities, and have won multiple awards as well as being on the BAFTA approved sustainable supplier list for film and television.
They also have a fantastic cork leather range which is a lightweight, durable and sustainable alternative to plastic based faux and animal leather, in such super funky colours, without any of the negative environmental effects. The backs of their cork earrings are cleverly left blank to retain their eco-credentials as well as doubling up as essential oil diffusers – absolutely genius!
All of their products are plastic free, vegan friendly, and only use hypoallergenic stainless steel metals, making them conveniently waterproof without the risk of ever turning green. This bold and beautiful lightning bolt necklace has been meticulously crafted from high-quality stainless steel to encapsulate the raw power of nature’s lightning in a wearable form.
Its stainless steel construction ensures that this necklace will remain radiant and untarnished, just like my zest and enthusiasm for life! Hanging proudly from an adjustable 45cm chain, you can conveniently customise the length to suit your individual style and neckline in gold, silver or rose gold colour choices.
And what a talking point my beautiful necklace was when I wore it to a gold-themed party with a gold blouse and black skirt and boots – I received so many compliments for it! Whilst I’ve previously stuck to subtle, classical silver jewellery, I have to confess that I experienced such a buzz for wearing this bold and iconic piece of art which has opened my mind to embracing new things.
Whether you’re stuck in a jewellery rut, frequently embrace new fashion trends or simply fancy treating yourself to something new, what better way to welcome in your day than with the power of the universe around your neck.
