Bows, pearls and hearts from our collection
Coquette is one of the defining looks of the moment — soft, feminine and a little nostalgic, built on ribbons, bows, pearls, hearts and pale, pretty colours. Done well it looks elegant and considered; done heavy-handed it can tip into costume. Here is how to wear the trend in jewellery so it reads grown-up rather than fancy-dress.
What 'coquette' actually means
Coquette borrows from ballet, vintage romance and old-world femininity: think ribbon bows, freshwater pearls, dainty hearts, lace-like detail and a palette of cream, blush and soft pink. In jewellery it translates to delicate, sentimental pieces rather than bold, architectural ones. The key word is soft — rounded shapes, gentle sparkle and motifs that feel a little romantic.
The three building blocks
Bows
The bow is the signature coquette motif. A pair of bow earrings does the most work for the least effort — our Crystal Bow Pearl Drops pair a crystal ribbon with a freshwater pearl, which is peak coquette in a single piece. If you want the motif on your hand, the Bow Moissanite Statement Ring takes it bigger and bolder.
Pearls
Pearls are the backbone of the look — their soft, warm glow is exactly the aesthetic. Keep them classic with Pearl Embrace Studs, or add a romantic focal point with the Pearl Halo Necklace. Freshwater pearls are naturally a little irregular, which suits the slightly imperfect, hand-made feel of the trend.
Hearts
Hearts bring the sentimental note. A heart ring or pendant is an easy way in — the Heart Moissanite Halo Ring uses a heart-cut lab-created moissanite (a sparkling stone in its own right, not a diamond) framed by a halo. For softer, pinker sparkle, browse the pink pieces in our moissanite collection.
How to keep it elegant, not costume
Choose one hero motif per look. A bow earring or a heart ring or a pearl necklace — not all three at full volume at once. Let the rest of your jewellery stay quiet and let the coquette piece be the story. Mixing a soft, romantic piece with otherwise minimal styling is what keeps the look modern rather than twee.
Stick to one metal tone so the pieces feel like a set, and lean into the soft palette: pearls, blush stones and pale crystal read more coquette than bright, primary colours. Finally, scale matters — dainty and delicate is the whole point, so save your boldest, chunkiest pieces for a different day.
The short version
Coquette jewellery is bows, pearls and hearts in soft, feminine shapes and pale colours. Pick one hero piece, keep everything else understated, match your metals, and let the romance do the talking.
