I’ve always liked to have a look at my horoscope but never really took much notice of it–telling me that I’m a classic Capricorn who works too much is not exactly news to me. But then, 18 months ago, when our lives became completely unpredictable and the world turned upside down, I found myself engrossed in them, to such an extent that I’ve now even got an app that delivers a specific-to-my-birth-time horoscrope every day. No, I don’t have a problem, but do feel free to psychoanalyse me and what my behaviour means when it comes to understanding the world. I would like to point out though that I’m not the only one. Earlier this year the BBC reported how there’s been a boom in people taking an interesting in astrology.
This obsession with star signs has translated into fashion. Month on month, Lyst, the global shopping platform, revealed that “demand for zodiac jewellery is up 29%, with necklaces being the most popular”. It’s also shot up for searches, according to Google Trends. And then everywhere I looked online, whether it was luxury or more affordable jewellery lines, I saw that there was an abundance of zodiac-inspired star sign necklaces. So, whether you’re looking for something encrusted with diamonds or just want a simple gold pendant, there are plenty of star sign necklaces to choose from right now. Keep scrolling to see the edit.
