Jewellery meets astrology at new birthstone pop-up event
The starry event, featuring birth chart readings and astral stacking sessions, is running from June 12 to June 15th
Attention, jewellery enthusiasts: Astrid and Miyu is sprinkling its signature glitz across the UK with a temporary pop-up event in Manchester's Spinningfields to commemorate the unveiling of its fresh birthstone collection. Running from June 12th to 15th, the immersive affair allows devotees of the cult label to discover the newest offerings in an environment radiating celestial vibes.
Famed for its stackable items and fashionable ear adornments, Astrid and Miyu's latest line is all about personalisation with an astrological edge. Envision zodiac-themed clip charms, vibrant beaded bracelets and necklaces, and jewellery that feel as unique as your astrological chart.
Guests at the Manchester pop-up can do more than browse. The brand offers birth chart readings, astral stacking sessions, and the opportunity to mix and match charms to create bespoke pieces.
Adding a delightful twist, Astrid and Miyu has partnered with Gooey to serve creamy delights throughout the day. London fans may have already had a chance to enjoy the event, as it recently took place at the capital's iconic Battersea Power Station until June 8th.
If you're yet to get acquainted with the new collection, anticipate standout pieces designed for layering, stacking, and personalising. This includes the Gemstone Energy range, teeming with a plethora of colourful beaded items, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Astrid & Miyu has unveiled a stunning new collection of birthstone jewellery, featuring an array of beaded bracelets (£130) and necklaces (£120) crafted from 9K gold and 9K white gold. Customers can personalise their pieces by selecting their birthstone, such as agate for May or garnet for January, and adding bespoke charms to create a truly unique accessory.
The adjustable bracelets, available in medium and large sizes, are designed to fit comfortably on the wrist. They also make a thoughtful gift for loved ones.
Although the collection has only just launched, it has already garnered positive reviews. One customer raved: "I have this style in a number of colours, and this is one of my favourites, as it is eye-catching."
Another reviewer praised the delicate design, saying: "So dainty, perfect to add a little colour to your look."
While the collection has yet to receive any negative feedback, the price point is on the higher side, making it a considered purchase rather than an impulse buy.
For those shopping around, Abbott Lyon is another excellent option for bespoke jewels. The brand offers everything from personalised necklaces with a sweet message to charm bracelets to reflect cherished memories.
Alternatively, PYRA is a charming choice, boasting an array of personalised designs. This custom name bracelet, currently on sale for £36, has earned an impressive 4.88-star rating.
In addition to the new birthstone collection, Astrid & Miyu has also introduced birthstone clip charms (£55). Each charm is set with a coloured gem representing the birth months and is available in 18k gold-plated sterling silver and rhodium-plated sterling silver.
These petite gems can be attached to bold link bracelets, chain necklaces and even earrings, offering fans the chance to mix and match. Much like the beaded jewellery, there's an option to send them as presents.
We've yet to spot any reviews for these delicate accessories. However, similar to the beaded items, they do come with a hefty price tag. For a more budget-friendly option, this seller on Not On The High Street offers these lovely stones for £17.50 each.

Molly-Mae's 'eye catching' red carpet earrings are from affordable high-street brand
Molly-Mae Hague has made a name for herself as not only an influencer and former Love Islander but for being quite the style maven too. Alongside her own label, Maebe, the 26 year old certainly turned heads at the BAFTAs earlier this year, radiating elegance, timeless allure, and glamour - and fans were delighted to learn that the former Love Island star' s outfit featured a number of high-street jewellery items that are still up for grabs. Wearing a striking black blazer co-ord from Arakii, Molly-Mae complemented her look with a selection of standout silver ear-stacks and cuffs, including a piece from the well-loved high-street label Astrid and Miyu. After doing some digging, it looks like she donned the brand's 'beautiful' Cosmic Illusion Crystal Ear Cuff in Silver, which retails for £50. She was also spotted wearing what seems to be the brand's Essential Crystal Small Hoops in Silver, priced at £60. While Molly-Mae has kept relatively quiet about where her earrings are from, a close-up image shared by her hair stylist, Jack Luckhurst, reveals the exquisite stack. The dainty Cosmic Illusion Crystal Ear Cuff in Silver is made from rhodium-plated recycled sterling silver and comes in gold (although it's currently sold out), though Molly-Mae chose the silver option, reports OK!. This elegant cuff boasts a star-shaped adornment on the earlobe, paired with a pavé band that creates a dazzling shimmer effect. Shoppers who have snapped up this item have lauded its stylish design, with one customer saying: "Very chic ear cuff, love how it sits perfectly and buying a few more for my friends as cute little presents." Another satisfied buyer exclaimed: "I love this ear cuff, it's very comfy to wear, super sparkly and actually looks like a real piercing." Another user praised the accessory, commenting: "Perfect ear cuff, looks so pretty, quite flexible if you need to pinch it or open it slightly depending on ear shape." Echoing, a fourth added: " I love this ear cuff, it's very comfy to wear, super sparkly and actually looks like a real piercing!" For those who can't quite bring themselves to spend £50 on an ear cuff, Missoma's Lucy Williams Mini Orb Ear Cuff, which is decorated with small bobbles of gold to add texture, is available for £25, and Oliver Bonas offers the Donna Disco Faceted Silver Ear Cuff at a more wallet-friendly £22. With a 4.9 star rating, the earring has very little negative feedback - the only four star review on the website cited the customer preferring the gold iteration: "I do prefer the gold," although they added: "I love the ear cuffs and being able to have more ear jewels without the piercing." Molly-Mae seems to have combined the Cosmic Illusion Crystal Ear Cuff with what appears to be the brand's Essential Crystal Small Hoops in Silver, priced at £60. These hoops, made from Recycled Sterling Silver, are praised for having 'just the right amount of sparkle'. Their delicate nature doesn't detract from their striking pavé finish that certainly make a significant statement. A near-perfect 4.9-star rating reflects the quality and style, with the only negative comment stating: "These are fairly simple, not stand out quality - they are cute and a really nice size!" while another said they may not be worth the £60 price tag. Although for the most part, the feedback was glistening as one person remarked: "These are gorgeous earrings. So delicate and pretty they sparkle so bright. They are lightweight but still feel excellent quality." While 26 year old Molly-Mae sported them at the BAFTAs, they've been described as the ideal day-to-day hoop: "I wear these daily and they have a lovely sparkle yet work for an everyday pair of earrings," said one Astrid & Miyu fan.

Nepo baby Nico Parker wows in a strapless bandage mini dress at How To Train Your Dragon premiere in NYC
Nepo baby Nico Parker looked incredible in a LBD as she attended the How To Train Your Dragon premiere at SVA Theatre in New York on Wednesday. The daughter of Emmy winner Thandiwe Newton, 52, and writer/director Ol Parker, 56, was the epitome of chic in the bandage black dress. Nico plays Astrid, who was depicted as a young blonde Viking in the 2010 animated version of the film as well as its sequels. The actress teamed her stunning ensemble with chunky earrings and elevated her frame with stylish black heels. Nico hit back at critics objecting to her taking on the lead role in How To Train Your Dragon. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. After some fans took umbrage with Nico - who is of Zimbabwean descent through her mother - not having Astrid's 's original blonde hair and blue eyes, she slammed trolls 'hating inclusivity' and having an 'opinion on her hair'. 'There's some people that really love the animated movies and really want to see an exact play-by-play of that film, and I hope that you can watch [the new version] and find something that you love about it, regardless,' Nico said in an interview with T he London Times. 'But for the people that just hate inclusivity, hate change — when it comes to that side of things, I just don't care,' she asserted. 'If I wouldn't value your opinion on most things in life,' and getting to the root of some of the backlash she's received added, 'I can't value your opinion on my hair. If I did, I would go mad.' Nico, who was brought up in London, said seeing other people of colour on screen was useful. 'When I was younger, the amount of mixed race or black icons, people that I would look to on screen to be like, "Oh, this feels like me," felt really minimal in comparison to what it could be for young people now, and I think that's really special,' she told the outlet. 'There's still a long way to go — for women in general, in terms of new parts, original material and female-led stories. But I think that everything's changing. I'd like to think that I could contribute to that change at some point.' In the 2010 animated How to Train Your Dragon and the 2014 and 2019 sequels Astrid was voiced by Latina actress America Ferrera. Nico's first role was in Disney's live-action Dumbo, which she said she auditioned for on a whim. 'By the time we got on set [in 2017], I remember being, like, "This is what I want to do all the time.:' she said of her 12-year-old self. Since then she has gone on to star in Reminiscence and Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy. One role, a two episode run in The Last of US, was a special experience for her, and she had high praise for star Pedro Pascal. 'He is one of the best people ever. He really is as special as you think he would be. I was 16 when I filmed The Last of US and it was a bit of a weird time of life in general, and I feel like I came into the job on a bit of an odd footing. I don't have enough words to describe how grateful I am that he was there.' How to Train Your Dragon is expected to fly to the top of the box office after it's released on Friday. The action-adventure stars Mason Thames, 17, as Hiccup, with Gerard Butler reprising his role as his blusterous dad Stoick. 'I remember seeing how many views the trailer got and I was, like, "What is happening?" To me, I think for everyone who grew up with the films, it feels very personal,' she said. Based on the performance of the three previous films, the reimagined version is expected to pull in somewhere between $80 million and $100 million domestically according to Box Office Pro. Universal Pictures has already announced a sequel to the anticipated blockbuster. 'They announced a release date and I was like, "Well, that's quite soon,"' Parker said.
