80s Jewellery

80’s Jewellery FAQs 2025

How does Camile and Stone UK interpret iconic 80s jewellery for modern tastes?

80’s jewellery was known for being three things - big, bold, and expressive. Jewellery was a form of self expression amongst the fashion-forward, and the trends swayed towards the oversized and over-stated. There’s not much more that our artisans love than a statement piece, and our range of 80’s inspired jewellery is full of these bold acclamations - with some slight adaptations for a walkman-less UK audience. Our full range of statement rings are the perfect addition to any look, 80’s inspired or not. 

What are the standout design features of our 80s-inspired jewellery collection?

The collection of handcrafted 80’s-inspired jewellery features standout expressive designs, capturing the vibrancy of the decade. We’ve included the expected statement pieces that are typical in 80’s jewellery, whilst ensuring it’s high-quality to meet our modern standards. Gold is the dominant metal we’ve opted for, which is a direct reflection of the era’s love of pure luxury. We’ve also included some nostalgic motifs into our designs like hearts and stars, because the playfulness of the 80’s deserves its recognition. If you love stars in your jewellery as much as we do, explore our full range of star-inspired pieces. 

How can vintage elements be blended with contemporary style in 80s jewellery?

At Camile & Sone UK, we’re constantly inspired by elements from vintage jewellery - and blending them with contemporary design principles is our favourite way to ensure our looks are unique but effortlessly timeless. By mixing the boldness of jewellery from the 80’s with contemporary pieces, your accessory collection becomes the perfect mix of out-there glamour and understated elegance. We’ve incorporated this into our range by mixing standout pieces with timeless metalwork, and integrating our favourite stones into 80’s inspired pieces to provide a modern touch. For more of our timeless inspired pieces, our vintage earrings are the perfect look back into the past. 

What role do bold colours and geometric shapes play in 80s jewellery designs?

With the 80’s the era that was defined by its affinity for bold colours and geometric shape, our designers knew that we needed to replicate these within our collection. Vibrant hues of neon and vivid colours made their homes in jewellery collections right throughout this vivacious era. Jewellery in this era was renowned for mixing these tones with geometric shapes inspired by pop-art and the Memphis design movement, and created jewellery that was a declaration of individuality and confidence. These created pieces that were full of intentionality and careful design - mixed perfectly with our cool earring collection, these are the dream of any 80’s icon. 

How does our brand ensure authenticity in our retro-inspired pieces?

Not many people are able to pin-point a reason they launched their dream careers - but ours came the first time Joan Collins graced our screen on Dynasty. The accessories of Alexis Carrington Colby were bold, vivacious, and each made a statement. The love for jewellery design spread from there, and our designers have worked to ensure that our entire range of vintage-inspired pieces are reflective of the maximalist elegance of this era.

What styling advice can help you rock an 80s look with our jewellery?

The key to styling 80s attire is to do so unapologetically - staying confident with your bold choices is the essential element of any outfit. By starting your accessory selection with a standout piece, you can centre your look around that piece and let it truly shine. Match your jewellery with an iconic “power piece” - select a blazer that makes you want to stand out, or a pair of suit pants that are tailored to perfection. Stack your favourite bangles, wear multiple chains, and don’t shy away from including colour. To include these styles in a modern way, style your jewellery with contemporary outfits in a fun twist that will strike a perfect balance of nostalgic and modern day fashion.
