9 Up-and-Coming Jewelry Labels You’re Gonna Be Wearing This Season

Every fashion enthusiast knows that a killer outfit is all in the details. And as an It girl in the making, you’re already well versed in style rules and the types of pieces that pack the biggest punch, with vintage add-ons and under-the-radar accoutrements coming out on top. Consider them the metaphorical icing on the sartorial cake. Be it a haute hoodie with downtown edge or a romantic blouse laced with come-hither appeal, a few unique pieces of jewelry can effortlessly usher any #OOTD into Instababe territory like that. To help you stay ahead of the style curve, we’ve curated a killer list of cool-girl jewelry brands you need in your life RN.

1. Faris Tula Earrings ($198): Seattle-based Faris hasn’t even hit the five-year mark yet, and it already has a cult following. Started as a simple experiment by designer Faris Du Graf three years ago, the label is characterized by handmade sculptural statement pieces with everyday appeal that balance artful imperfection, symmetry and complex design. We dare you to visit Du Graf’s e-shop and NOT leave with a full cart. The piece we’re swooning hard for RN? These architectural drops that will put your favorite pair of hoops to shame.

2. J. Hannah Wide Open Ring ($245): We’re not sure what we love more: designer Jess Hannah’s use of ethically sourced and conflict-free stones, or her ability to create pieces that flawlessly fuse old-world elegance and modern minimalism. “I believe jewelry should be designed to make you feel connected to it,” she says. “So I aspired to create jewelry for how it should be worn, never taken off. From the designing to the naming of my pieces, I hope to bring beauty, confidence and power of celestial proportions to the modern woman.” Mission accomplished: This sleek open ring certainly inspires that forever kind of love.

3. URiBE Angus ($335): One word: obsessed. While Sion and Tiffany Phillips’ quirky pieces aren’t exactly what you’d call budget baubles, they’re totally worth the investment. Inspired by the duo’s unique heritage and travels, URiBE is a collection of colorful, contemporary and streamlined designs that manage to be both cutting edge and classic. We imagine this sleek pendant necklace would look downright DDG styled alongside a silk tee, jacquard blazer and boyfriend jeans.

4. Olivia Kane Strawberry Quartz Teardrop Ring ($364): Olivia Kane is a woman after our own hearts. Obsessed with the film My Girl, Kane launched her eponymous jewelry line back in August 2015 with one simple goal in mind: creating elevated mood rings for grown-ups. The best part? The New Zealand native is committed to sustainability, hand making all of her designs with recycled 14K rose gold, 14K yellow gold and sterling silver. This beauty above is a prime example of the designer’s killer craft. Whether you’re looking for a unique engagement ring alternative or simply want to treat yo’ self (yeah, you deserve it), this strawberry quartz stunner is a #winner all around.

5. Jessie Harris Silver Half Fold Ball Earrings ($305): Jessie Harris doesn’t create jewelry — she creates sculptures for the body. A graduate of Chelsea College of Art and Design in London, the designer didn’t dive right into the art of jewelry making upon graduation, foraying first into creating conceptual audio installations. Her namesake jewelry brand launched in the spring of 2012, and Harris hasn’t looked back since. Girl made the right career move. “Standout” would be the only way to describe her stunning designs. Her collections are influenced by the concept of retro-futurism and feature clean lines, structural shapes and playful details that transcend time and trends. The piece we’re currently coveting? These sleek fold-over earrings that would look ah-mazing with everything from floral midi dresses with bohemian flair to smartly tailored suits.

6. Linnie Mclarty Wait here. Help is on the Way. Narrow Silver Cuff ($232): Baubles you can actually feel good about? We’re so in. Linnie Mclarty’s ultra modern statement pieces aren’t just fair trade, but they’re also fair mined and made with ecological gold, 100 percent recycled silver and responsibly sourced gemstones with a transparent and traceable supply chain. And they have the Emma Watson seal of approval. Ready to head down the eco-responsible route? Scoop up this chic sterling silver cuff stat.

7. Sorelle Mara Earring ($120): Coming from a long line of jewelers, it only seemed fitting for Francesca Grosso to get in on the family biz. But it wasn’t until the designer began her stint at Opening Ceremony that she felt a pull to the industry. In 2012 she launched Sorelle, a line of chic minimalist baubles with a runway-ready edge, running the venture entirely out of her bedroom. Her signature? Next-level hoops and statement earrings meant to be rocked solo or as part of a mismatched look.

8. Leigh Miller Gold Plated Moore Bracelet ($335): After nearly a decade as a ready-to-wear designer for the likes of J.Crew and Calvin Klein, Leigh Newman decided to try her hand at metalworking and jewelry design. She trained in the art in both Rio de Janeiro and New York, then officially launched Leigh Miller in 2014. Newman uses a unique technique, wax casting, to bring her one-of-a-kind collection to life. The process involves sculpting in molten wax, casting pieces in brass, bronze, gold and silver and hand-hammering them into organic forms. This cool cuff is just one example of the designer’s serious skills, and yeah — the rest of her work is just as draw-dropping.

9. Ejing Zhang Sunrise Twist Disc Earrings ($190): Mixed media is kind of Ejing Zhang’s thing. And it makes sense — the designer was first exposed to fabric at a young age, when her mother worked in the textile industry. After graduating from the Royal College of Art with an MA in textiles design and a specialty in mixed media, Zhang founded her studio in 2014. Her jewelry offers a bold blend of color, pattern and materials, and has a decidedly abstract aesthetic we just can’t get enough of.

Your texting style says a lot more about you than you think it does. Whether you're still adding ellipses to every sentence, overusing silly little emojis, or insisting on a formal opener, certain habits can instantly date you when it comes to instant messaging. If you’re wondering whether your messages are screaming vintage millennial or classic Gen X, it’s time for a reality check on the texting quirks that give it all away.

Scroll on for the top 6 odd texting habits that subtly reveal your age.

1. Using excessive emojis

Technology has advanced enough that we can infuse our messages with more emotion – but how much is too much? Oftentimes, using excessive emojis is a dead giveaway that you’re an older texter.

And even more so, using the “weird” emojis – or just the wrong ones given the context – are a telltale sign of your age.

For example, the “laughing crying” emoji (🤣) is now seen as outdated by Gen Z-ers, who most commonly prefer using the skull emoji (💀), meaning "I'm dead" (from laughing).

2. Sending outdated memes

Sending outdated memes is another obvious sign that you’re an older texter. Whether it’s the "I Can Has Cheezburger?" memes you die laughing at or reaction pics of evil Kermit, they’re just not ‘with the times’ these days.

The same thing goes for texting with outdated slang like “rad” instead of “cool,” or choosing not to abbreviate certain words like “you” to “u.”

3. Every text is too formal

Older individuals might be more likely to use proper punctuation and capitalization in text messages, whereas younger generations often favor a more casual, abbreviated style.

If you’re still using an intro like “dear (name),” or “hello (name)” to introduce your text messages to people, just know it’s not necessary – the recipient is likely to have you in their contacts already, so they’re familiar with you!

4. Taking a long time to reply

Younger texters generally respond more quickly to messages (they’re always on that dang phone…), whereas older adults might take longer to reply. Though response time isn’t a huge factor in today’s ever-connected world, generally replying within the same day is a respectful move.

5. Not reacting to messages

The react feature has become super popular on messaging apps, allowing you to add a thumbs-up, heart, and much more to things other people send you. Younger texters tend to use the feature more, while older texters may forget it or not use it at all.

6. Using ALL CAPS for emphasis

Though emphasizing your messages can be helpful, using all caps to do it is a subtle sign of your age. It can come across as anger, frustration, or shouting and add an unnecessary attitude to your texts! Younger people tend to use asterisks or lowercase for a more casual tone.

The 2025 Oscars have come and gone. In addition to some incredible noms, like A Real Pain for Original Screenplay, Wicked for Best Picture, and Anora's Mikey Madison for Best Actress, there were some serious snubs. Because what do you mean Challengers didn't get nominated for ANYTHING?! Considering it won Best Score at the Golden Globes, I'd have thought it had that nomination secured, but the Academy had other plans.

Here's the full list of 2025 Oscar winners.

The Craziest 2025 Oscar nomination snubs.

Amazon MGM Studios

I really can't believe Zendaya didn't get nominated for her performance in Challengers. Her viral "crazy eyes" scene generated enough conversation to give her a nom in my opinion. I remember sitting in the theater and thinking, Wow, I've never seen her make that face before, can we replay that? And, of course, I'm mourning the fact the movie didn't get nominated for Best Score. "Match Point" playing during the ending of the movie will always be an Oscar-winning moment to me!

But in addition to Z, Selena Gomez also didn't get nominated for her role as Jessi Del Monte in Emilia Pérez, despite the fact the movie got a total of 13 nominations.

My group chat immediately blew up when we realized Sing Sing wasn't nominated for Best Picture.

Did your favorite movie of 2024 get the Oscar nominations you think it deserved, or was it totally snubbed? Let us know on Instagram! And you can still make 13 Award-Winning Cocktails after Oscar Sunday ;).

This post has been updated.

Gilmore Girls fans know the show like the back of their hand, but considering the show lasted 7 seasons, it makes sense that there's tons of trivia. Like the fact season 7 wasn't supposed to be the finale, or creator Amy Sherman-Palladino placed the series in a small town because she didn't know any of her neighbors growing upand wanted different for Rory.

But there's one foundational detail about Gilmore Girls you might not have known, and it could change the way you watch the show forever: apparently actress Alexis Bledel didn't like coffee! Yep, that's right. Here's how they supposedly got away with Rory drinking a cup o' Joe in every single episode.

Here's what Alexis Bledel reportedly had in her mug when Rory Gilmore drank coffee — and a surprising comment Alexis made about the drink.

Rory Gilmore loves coffee...but Alexis Bledel allegedly didn't.

Warner Bros. TV

One of the most recognizable details in Gilmore Girls is Lorelai and Rory's love for coffee. They drink it like water, and a clip from the show went viral for Rory sobbing about having to give it up. Well, Alexis Bledel probably wasn't that heartbroken because according to HuffPost, the actress didn't actually like coffee while filming the show (although according to Lauren Graham, “There is always coffee in my cup.”)

Considering one of the most viral and recognizable clips from the whole show is Rory sobbing about having to give up coffee — "And I love coffee!" — that is a shocking detail!

Netflix

However, Alexis Bledel might have actually set the record straight on the longstanding claim she always had soda in her mug instead (which seems to originally come from YourTango in 2013). Ahead of Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life in 2016, the actress told Marie Claire that she loves any "winter beverage."

"Give me a hot drink and I’m happy," she says. "Hot cider, hot chocolate, coffee… I like all winter beverages!" You and me both sister.

There's a good chance Alexis' tastes changed from filming in 2000 and filming in 2016. There's also a good chance she did actually like coffee the whole time. But don't worry — we reached out to her reps for comment.
