Now you've bought all the best homeware on Etsy [1], it's time to dive into the jewellery. It can be tricky to find the unique pieces in a sea of beads and pieces listed as "vintage" that you definitely recognise as Topshop circa 1998, but there are some really talented designers on the crafty platform if you know where to look. In the mood to spruce up your jewellery box? Here are our favourite jewellery designers on Etsy, and the pieces we think will have people asking, "Where did you get that?"
Lou Taylor
Lou Taylor's quirky pop culture designs are so popular, her illustrations adorn also homeware and scarves, but it's her brooches that we really love. Add one to a basic jacket and get ready for compliments.
We love: this Iris Apfel Brooch [2] (£50)
Rosa Pietsch
One of our favourite jewellery designers Rosa Pietsch is really a fan of the phrase "go big or go home." Her laser cut jewellery is bold, shiny and oh-so-covetable. Every piece feels unique, even though she's super popular.
We love: these Laser Etched Necklaces [3] (£35)
Tatty Devine
Tatty Devine certainly isn't an unknown name in the jewellery world. However, you might not know that the design duo creates exclusive pieces for Etsy. The current editions have a really cute craft theme.
We love: this Sewing Machine Necklace [4] (£75)
Rosie Brewer
How adorable are Rosie Brewer's tiny people earrings? Each tiny person is mismatched and unique, and she'll personalise them for you if you ask her.
We love: Tiny People Earrings [5] (£6)
Melody G
Bold colours, geometric shapes . . . Melody G really ticks our buttons, and her designs are in that happy place between chic and fun. Every piece is handmade to order, too.
We love: this Triangle Necklace [6] (£28)
Finest Imaginary
Mid-century inspiration that makes us want to take a holiday? Consider us very much on board. Finest Imaginary's laser-cut designs are big and bold, but they're also incredibly intricate.
We love: this Palm Springs Necklace [7] (£37)
Little Nells
We like Little Nells because of the delicate pieces that will make gorgeous gifts. There's a range of geometric pieces that instantly appeal to the magpie in us, but it's the adorable nature-inspired hair clips that we're most smitten with.
We love: these Bee Hair Clips [8] (£15)
Just Daydreaming
Brighton-based Just Daydreaming is exactly why we love Etsy. They have cute, quirky designs that we won't find anywhere else.
We love: this Spice Girls Necklace [9] (£20)
MUKA Studio
For something a little more timeless, how about a silver piece from MUKA Studio? They're striking but delicate and simple enough to wear every day. These will become your treasured pieces that you wear all the time and pass down to loved ones.
We love: this Silver Gap Ring [10] (£42)
DinosaurYEAH
How do we love DinosaurYEAH? Let us count the ways. If you're looking for fun and silly, you've come to the right place. Your nan will probably raise an eyebrow at your massive T-Rex necklace, but everyone else will give you a high-five and ask where you got it.
We love: this Diner Necklace [11] (£39)
SketchInc
Bright and colourful jewellery that still looks grown up isn't an easy thing to achieve, but SketchInc manages it. The geometric enamel pieces are fun and striking, but you can definitely wear them in that big meeting you've got coming up.
We love: this Geometric Fox Pin [12] (£10)
Tiny Scenic
Like wearing a miniature piece of art around your neck, Tiny Scenic pieces are a blend of wood, acrylic, and awesome. They've got a bit of a retro theme (thumbs up from us there), and you can wear them anywhere knowing that no one will be wearing anything similar.
We love: this Swimming Pool Necklace [13] (£45)
Book Lover Gifts
As the name might suggest, Book Lover Gifts don't just sell jewellery, but the jewellery it does have on its virtual shelves is perfect for bookworms.
We love: these Quotation Mark Earrings [14] (£20)
Coryographies
While we're on the book theme, how about your own little personalised bookcase? Coryographies will add your very favourite books to your shelf necklace, so you can adorn yourself with a tiny little model of The Cat in the Hat.
We love: these Personalised Book Shelves [15] (£28)
Fen & Co
Fen & Co takes beautiful vintage wildlife illustrations and turns them into jewellery. The pieces work all year round, but the new ranges are particularly fun around the changing seasons when robins and poinsettias are very much the order of the day.
We love: these Robin Collar Pins [16] (£16).
