Let customers speak for us
These are not the first of the Vintage Stars I've had and they won't be the last! They are a perfect dinky size and gorgeous colours. They catch the light beautifully and I love wearing them for work to zhush up an outfit. I'd love them in a size up too if you ever think about that - the other drop earrings are amazing but just too long for my short neck 😂
Gorgeous colourful bracelet that makes a statement in several ways! Also despatched quickly in sustainable packaging. Please support this wonderful enterprise!
Absolutely love these earrings with an 'apt for these times' message.
Good quality, look stunning, get lots of compliments, prompt delivery and in a proper box!
A fabulous reminder that it’s always ok to set your boundaries and express yourself whatever anyone else thinks! Lovely quality with adjustable length and the matt iridescent is very subtle but distinctive. I can’t wait to wear it and practice being difficult!
Simple statement big meaning for me personally as I can say “I am enough” or “that’s enough” right now. Lovely and light to wear. Finish is neat and of high quality. Another great add to my jewellery collection- thank you ☺️ 🌟 ✋
Again this was shipped quickly and so well presented. I will be back on pay day!
This sentiment means a lot to me right now in life and wearing it will serve as a mindful tool. The findings are of really nice quality and I love the finishing touches/charms around the clasp. Sarah was really kind and responsive to my request to have the bracelet extended slightly so it was looser for me to wear - much more comfortable. Lovely addition to my jewellery collection. Thank you ☺️
The earrings are AMAZING! I can't recommend them enough! I love the fact I can subtly say how I feel but others can't tell unless they're close or I specifically tell them. It feels like a little rebellion that I love. Best bit is that even if I'm wearing rubbish clothes and no make up I still feel really "put together" by wearing this with the necklace. This set is amazing even if you only have one bit..I also love how they catch the light and sparkle!
So amazing and has been over a couple of orders from both me and my sister. Couldn't recommend more!

I already have two of Sarah's wonderful necklaces and three brooches (two of which were gifts from friends, who know how much I love Wear and Resist!), so I was delighted when this new sweary piece arrived, with the usual high quality and beautiful design. I especially love the way in which all necklaces can be fastened at three different points so it's possible to vary the length depending on the neckline of an outfit; so simple but so helpful. Knowing that I'm giving money to a small business which passes a percentage of profits on to women's charities is always a bonus #persisterhood.
Great necklace - perfect gift and looks so pretty even before you read the message. Arrived very quickly too
This was a gift for my french speaking mother and she loves it. Just suits her general attitude to life and makes me laugh when she wears it. Beautifully made, very classy and I will certainly be borrowing it from time time!
