Fashion fans are running to Asda for ‘amazing value' holiday jewellery – including must-have £3.50 claw clips
WITH the weather heating up and summer right around the corner, if you want to give your jewellery collection a glow up, you've come to the right place. And for those on a budget, fear not, you won't have to splash too much cash thanks to this "amazing value' new collection. 6 6 6 6 While many of us may bag our high-street jewellery from Accessorize Pandora or maybe even Primark, now, a very popular supermarket has come to the rescue with holiday must-haves. Not only will shoppers be able to stock up on stunning earrings and gorgeous anklets while they do their food shop, but they'll even find head-turning claw clips too. But that's not all, as there's also a large selection of statement necklaces and bracelets you won't want to miss. Posting on social media, the official George at Asda account gave users a close-up look at the new-in fashion buys, leaving many totally gobsmacked. Alongside the short clip, the chain penned: 'Spotted in store: holiday brights. 'Colour pop jewellery and accessories made for sunshine and summer getaways.' Not only this, but the supermarket then wrote: 'Running to Asda …' So if you're lucky enough to be jetting abroad for a beach holiday this year and fancy treating yourself, there's plenty to choose from. Shoppers will find colourful bracelets for £5, packs of three anklets for £7 and even glitzy bag charms for £6.50. There's packs of three stud earrings for £6 and even jaw-dropping statement earrings for only £8.50. Fashion fans run to M&S to nab the new jewellery that's perfect for summer & there's Bottega dupes that'll save you £546 If you're really looking to keep the costs down, you'll find fun hoop earrings that are in the chain's 'amazing value' range, for just £4. And if you can't get enough of claw clips, there's plenty to choose from. Also in the 'amazing value' range, fashionistas can get their hands on a two-pack of flower claw claps for just £3.50 - and there's multiple colour choices. 2025's Jewellery Trends: What's in and what's out? Designer and founder of AJOSEPO, Tofi Caroline Adedoyi revealed the jewellery industry is undergoing an exciting transformation. 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. At Ajosepo, we exclusively utilise recycled materials, reducing the demand for new mining and minimising our ecological footprint. Fashion fans beam The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ georgeatasda, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 122,000 views. Not only this, but it's also amassed 5,335 likes, 20 comments and 400 saves. Fashion fans were stunned by the impressive new range of affordable jewellery and many eagerly raced to the comments to express this. One person said: 'Obsessed.' Another added: 'I'm running.' Meanwhile, someone else begged: 'Please start selling accessories online.' Unlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme - Sun Club 6 6

Monsoon, Accessorize owner Adena Brands swings to loss but current year sees recovery
Its current financial year is two-thirds complete and the company has seen a return to sales growth so far, as well as a return to profitability and "much better performance in the areas that caused such concern last year". Looking more closely at the actions it took to improve its performance, the company said that within its Monsoon retail portfolio it continued to close legacy dual-format stores (those older stores that combined both Monsoon and Accessorize in a single space) as their leases expired. It also paused its rollout of Monsoon boutique stores "to give time to create a supporting outlet business and to test revised shopping centre format and station and airport travel locations". This meant its Monsoon retail sales were lower than it originally planned as reduced sales from closures outweighed new sales from openings. It also 'realigned' its Monsoon kidswear business, rebuilding the leadership team and completely redesigning its collections. Given the time required to design new collections and sell-through existing stock, it absorbed the impact of lower sales and markdown costs. As for the international business, it transitioned its two largest international operations during the period moving to a new franchise partner in Saudi Arabia and transitioning away from a franchise partner to an owned subsidiary in Italy. That meant sales were impacted in these markets and those now-complete transitions also saw 'significant' costs. The company also closed a small trial of five Accessorize airport stores in Germany. It said it was a hard decision but relatively weak German airport recovery post-Covid and wider economic headwinds damaged the profitability of the stores. As well as closures though, it also saw openings with the last year seeing it opening 13 new Accessorize stores and re-fitting another four. That means the majority of that brand's retail portfolio is now in its latest design and its new stores have performed well. And a smaller, jewellery-focused store in London is providing a template for smaller, higher-margin stores. It also opened a larger-format location in Harrogate with a full range of product, including clothing and gifting, providing another template. It opened several new Monsoon stores during the year too and its travel-focused format in Waterloo is providing it with a template for a higher-density store type within shopping centres and other travel locations (including two locations at Gatwick that it opened early this year).
