Designer and founder of Big gold earrings - OUT Chunky gold earrings inspired by the '80s have fallen out of fashion. Instead, there is a growing shift towards nostalgic '90s jewellery pieces like hoop earrings that convey elegance and sophistication in 2025. Bold stack rings - IN Stacking rings are set to make a bold statement in 2025. Expect to see asymmetrical stacks featuring irregular shapes and sculptural designs, adding depth and character. Remember to use odd numbers for a more dynamic look—stacking three rings creates a visually engaging and harmonious effect. And choose stackable rings made from solid precious metals such as silver and gold, rather than gemstones for a more sophisticated appearance. Chunky statement pieces - IN While 2024 focused on rectangular paper clip motifs, 2025 will showcase circular forms. This trend is evident in various pieces, including earrings that sway gently in the light, bold necklaces that fluidly drape around the neck, and bracelets and rings that feature soft, rounded shapes. Silver jewellery - IN Silver jewellery continues to be a popular choice this year, celebrated for its versatility and understated elegance. Its sleek, cool-toned finish makes it a perfect accessory for casual outings and formal events, allowing for effortless transitions. Colourful gemstones - IN The jewellery scene is experiencing a vibrant resurgence of bold and colourful gemstones. Striking stones such as luminous quartz, rich black onyx, and fiery red agate dominate designs, providing a refreshing alternative to traditional pearls. Conscious sustainability - IN Eco-friendly materials, ethical sourcing, and responsible production practices are now essential elements of contemporary jewellery. The focus now lies on utilising ethical gold, recycled metals, and lab-grown diamonds, ensuring that aesthetics do not come at the planet's expense. Tip: Research a jeweller's ethical and sustainable practices before purchasing to ensure their values align with yours.

‘Dept Q' review: Gripping Netflix mystery is the stuff of sweat-drenched nightmares
It's a shallow, lazy comparison, seemingly based on nothing more than the fact that both series feature a spiky, disagreeable lead character with a habit of getting on people's wick, in charge of a group of rejects and screw-ups. It also does a great disservice to The Queen's Gambit creator Scott Frank's excellent series, which transplants Jussi Henry Adler-Olsen's Denmark-set book series to Edinburgh. The switch works a treat. The granite and gothic streets of the Scottish capital are the perfect setting for a dense, gripping mystery that plumbs dark and disturbing depths. Matthew Goode is terrific as DI Carl Morck, a brilliant detective who's loathed by most of his colleagues for his arrogance, abrasiveness, sarcasm and sense of superiority. Being a sassenach among the Scots doesn't help matters. Morck takes a steep fall from grace after his carelessness results in the death of a rookie officer in a shooting incident that also leaves his own partner, DS Hardy (Jamie Sives), partially paralysed. Morck himself takes a bullet in the neck. He's emotionally scarred and suffering from PTSD, though bottling it all up. He's given a cavernous office in the basement – a former toilet where the urinals still stand When he returns to work, unwelcomed and unwanted by his resentful colleagues, he's mandated to have counselling sessions with police therapist Dr Rachel Irving (the great and seemingly ageless Kelly Macdonald). Morck's boss Moira (Kate Dickie) tells him a budget has been made available to set up a new cold case unit, the titular Department Q, and he is to be its leader. He's given a cavernous office in the basement – a former toilet where the urinals still stand – an ancient car, a single laptop, a mountain of unsolved case files, and no resources or staff. It's a department of one. Morck knows it's a cynical PR exercise to deflect attention away from low case-clearance rates and that the money will be spent on other departments. Gradually, however, he begins to warm to the job and assembles a small team of fellow misfits. Akram Salim (Alexej Manvelov) is a Syrian immigrant who was a policeman back home, but is now reduced to doing casual menial work around the office. Initially dumped on Morck to get him out of the way, Akram, who's deceptively mild-mannered, turns out to be an ace detective with a tough streak who's every bit the equal of his new boss. Rose (Leah Byrne), a cadet who was sidelined into tedious filing work after a breakdown, badgers her way on to the team, eager to prove herself. Morck also draws on the experience of Hardy, who analyses cases from his hospital bed. Elsewhere, a ruthlessly ambitious state prosecutor called Merritt Lingard (Chloe Pirrie), whose preening overconfidence in court allows a wife-murderer to walk free, disappears while on a ferry with her mentally disabled brother William (Tom Bulpett). At first, all this appears to be happening at the same time, until an ingenious twist near the end of the slow-burn first episode reveals Merritt has been missing for four years and hers is the case Morck and his team have chosen. We learn that Merritt was abducted and is being held captive by a mysterious older couple who taunt, torment and torture her 24/7. The location of her captivity, I can't reveal, but the setting, a marvel of disturbing set design, is the stuff of sweat-drenched nightmares. In fact, to give away too much of what happens over the course of the nine episodes would be to spoil a complex, riveting thriller in which character development is as important as suspense. The excellent cast features Scottish stalwarts Shirley Henderson and Mark Bonnar.

A Stitch in summertime: Shandon Street shop to host one of Irene Kelleher's plays
Cork writer and actor Irene Kelleher has two one-woman shows at the Cork Midsummer Festival (CMF) in June. One of them is site-specific, taking place in an old shop on Shandon Street. The former J Nolan Stationery shop felt perfect for Kelleher's show, Stitch, which she describes as 'haunting". The play is set in a garment alteration shop in 1989. Pins and Needles, as it is called, is about to close down and be taken over by Xtravision. 'It was a family business but the only people left are seamstress Alice and her aunt Katie who live over the shop,' says Kelleher. 'It's going to be a huge change for Alice who, when the play opens, has been down in the basement for seven months, only coming up at night when there's nobody on the street. She has been doing her work in the basement. The place has quite a history.' The play, loosely inspired by Frankenstein, is set at Halloween. Alice is particularly busy getting costumes ready for the spooky night ahead. Kelleher says that for her character, the past is lingering in the walls. Why the site specific setting rather than a traditional theatre space? 'When I performed my show, Gone Full Havisham, in the penthouse of the Clayton Hotel in 2019 for the CMF, there was something incredibly special for audiences about seeing it there," says Kelleher. "We created a world into which the audience was thrown. When I write a play, I always think of the audience experience, trying to create it in my head. I thought it would be amazing if Stitch could be done in a shop where there's ghosts in the walls. "When I went to see the shop, there was an old Singer sewing machine there which I took as a sign.' Irene Kelleher. Kelleher's other play, Footnote, set in a bookshop, will be performed by her at the Cork Theatre Collective Studio at the Triskel. The comedy already had a performance as a work-in-progress on Culture Night at Cork City Library last year. It was inspired by Kelleher's experience of working in the former Liam Ruiseal's bookshop while she was studying English, and Theatre and Drama Studies at UCC. It is directed by Laura O'Mahony who also worked in the shop as a student of drama. 'We always thought a bookshop would be a great setting for a play. Laura has done some brilliant comedic sketches set in a bookshop over the years. I always wanted to write something in that setting but it took me a while to come up with the central character.' Kelleher created the character of Noreen, a struggling writer, who lives in the shadow of her famous (fictional) mother, a poet and feminist activist. Whether Kelleher's real-life daughters will live in her shadow remains to be seen. The writer/actor is no pushy stage mom. While Marie (three-and-a-half) and Katie (two) will be free to pursue their own interests, which for the eldest child, involves attending dance classes, Kelleher says, half-jokingly, she hopes Marie will go into credit control. Such is her attitude to the insecure nature of working in the arts. However, Kelleher says she would 'go insane' if she had a more regular job. 'I always knew this is what I wanted to do. It's important for me to keep working and to keep creative. I know I'm in a privileged position in that I don't have to work full time.' Cork Midsummer Festival As the chief carer for her daughters, Kelleher says she is now very particular about what work she will take on. Writing plays was initially an outlet for performance but Kelleher has really grown to love the art form and she can work at it around her children's activities. Her husband, Denis O'Sullivan, works from home for an American IT company and Kelleher says he is very supportive. Kelleher will be busy for six weeks in the lead up to and during the CMF. 'We make it work. Denis will be off for two weeks during my busy time. After that, the cavalry – the grannies and aunties – will help out," she explains. The two shows are produced by Mighty Oak Productions, with Stitch directed by Regina Crowley. Cormac O'Connor has designed the soundscape and has also branched into lighting. Costumes are a huge part of Stitch and are designed by Valentia Gambardella. Kelleher says she feels honoured to have two shows being staged in the CMF. 'They are very different and they reflect me as an artist.' Stitch is on from June 13-22 apart from June 16 and 17 at J Nolan 21, Shandon Street. Footnote is on June 14, 16 and 17 at the Triskel. See
