The sighting: Iain Ross, a fan-favorite contestant on the most recent season of The Great British Bake Off, charmed viewers with his good humor and warm whimsey.
But eagle-eyed (or jewelry-obsessed) Bake Off fans noticed something else too: this short king of the baking tent has a penchant for food-themed jewelry.
The jewels: Iain Ross’s cooking jewelry of choice is huggie earrings with charms, and according to Wolf and Moon’s Instagram, Ross’s Bake Off jewels all came from their brand.
The styles he chose are mostly silver, some with pops of color, and primarily food themed. He rocks both a croissant shaped charm and a pretzel charm, which are sold separately as the Wolf and Moon Croissant hoops and Pretzel Hoops, or with one of each as Wolf and Moon’s Pastry Set No 1 (all listed online as $178 for two charms in silver, hoops not included).
The trends: Both whimsical jewelry and charms remain very popular and Ross’s habit of wearing jewelry that represents his favorite hobby while engaging in it on tv is a perfect example of why these trends are so successful.
The lure of expressing yourself by wearing symbols that show who you are inside is something that jewelry lovers of every age and demographic can embrace – especially when it’s a style as versatile as a charm, which can be worn on a necklace, bracelet, or huggie earring (as seen here).
What do we think? I love an on-theme moment, and Ross’s decision to wear different food-themed jewelry on The Great British Bake Off is one that I enthusiastically applaud.
Why would anyone NOT wear food themed jewelry while competing on Bake Off? It’s the only right way to do it.
Judgement: 19/10 for delightfully clever jewelry styling.
