All About the Thalia Heffernan x Betty&Biddy Collection

The Thalia Heffernan x Betty and Biddy collab is HERE.

 

 

Since moving back from New York, Thalia has been on the hunt for a creative project. Inspired by years of working around the world with her modelling career, this collection is inspired by her travels.

We are so excited for this edgy and quirky collection that Thalia has curated from her designs and personal experiences. Playing with textures, mixed metals and even drawing inspiration from her grandmother's locket; this collection pays homage to all these inspirations.

We hope that with these pieces you can personalize your style and create your own story.

 

Chunky Charm Necklace

Our Chunky Mixed Necklace is made to be personalized.

With gold and silver links, you can both add and take away length to this chain due to every gold clip being a clasp. This versatile chain can be made into a choker, a bracelet, a belly chain, and can be left as is.

 

 

A mix of delicate and chunky to layer your way and create your own story.

 

Introducing our charms:

The charms you choose are multipurpose!

Add them to you clothes, boots, keyrings and other accessories. Its time to tell your story.

 

Our interchangeable charms are completely customizable to your personal style. Whether you want to style it with our Chunky Mixed Necklace for a major statement, or our Box Chain for something more subtle, it's completely up to you.

 

Chill Pill

Take a chill pill~

"I've spoken about my mental health a lot, and always tried to be very honest and open with my struggles. The 'Chill Pill' is my way of wearing that journey with pride. I hope this charm resonates with anyone out there needing it."

 

Cowboy Boot

"I've been wearing cowboy boots forever, and they've always been my favourite shoe. I grew up watching old westerns with my dad, and that had a huge impact on my fascination with all things cowboy. It felt only right to round this collection off with my favourite thing."

 

Gold + Silver Matchstick

"Inspired by the iconic 'Light My Fire' by The Doors, I loved the idea of a wearable matchstick. This Collection being made for everyone was very important to me, and the gold and silver matches work as a pair for you and a loved one or even for yourself."

 

Ace of Hearts

"As a big art lover, I tend to collect pieces and prints - one of my favourite pieces being a play on the ace of hearts I bought years ago. I loved the prints simpli8city and boldness. It now hangs above my bed, and it inspired me to make a charm I can wear with me wherever I go."

 

Cross Locket

"This design was heavily inspired by my late grandmother's own locket and chain. My mum showed it to me fo9r the first time when I began my journey in designing this collection. Inside the locket was a photo of my grandmother and grandfather, and I knew I wanted to add this to the collection to pay homage to them."

With a functioning clasp, you can create your own special memory with this locket and carry photos of your loved ones everywhere you go.

 

20p Coin

"I've always loved old coins, and this 20p Irish Coin introduced in 1986 was one that I remember so fondly from my childhood. My dad would give me 20p when I was young for doing odd jobs around the house and I can still see it in my palm as a kid. I wanted to bring something from that time to the collection and this felt like the perfect fit."

 

Postcard

"From travelling with my job, I always romanticized the idea of a postcard from home. I remember friends from school sending me a card from their time interrailing when I first moved to New York when I was 18 on my own. It meant the world to me. This postcard represents anyone in your life who you miss and love and is always on your mind."

 

Save Horses, Ride Cowboys Bangle

Introducing this quirky block style bangle with a cheeky message.

This western cowboy bangle has an adjustable frame and be worn by itself or stacked with other bangles and bracelets to create a funky stack.

 



Save Horses, Ride Cowboys

"I think this one is pretty self explanatory, As an animal lover, and a lover of a free spirit, the Save Horses Ride Cowboys bundle was the first design I created in this collection.

I wanted to make something fun and unique. So, we decided not only to add Save Horses, Ride Cowboys to our bangle, but also engrave it inside our Hoop earrings too. A subtle reminder ;) "

 

Save Horses, Ride Cowboys Hoops

These western gold hoop earrings have an engraved font on the instep of the hoop earring. One earring reads: Save Horses, the second earring reads: Ride Cowboys.

 

 

These funky hoops can be the perfect gift for that cheeky friend of yours...or for yourself, we don't judge here!

 

Classic Tube Hoops

Grá Signet Ring

The Grá Signet Ring is a block style signet ring with engraved black font. The word Grá meaning the word for Love in Irish

"Signet rings have always been my favourite style. And as a lover of love, it felt fitting to create this ring."

Jewellery is more than just an accessory; it's a statement of identity, culture, and personal history. There’s a sense of pride that comes with wearing something that represents your country. It’s a declaration of identity that is both intimate and outwardly visible.

 

Pearl Link Necklace and Bracelet

 

 

When chunky meets delicate. Our Pearl Link Necklace and Bracelet are the perfect example of perfectly clashing textures. Mixing a series of freshwater pearls and a paperclip link T-bar, its just the perfect piece. Don't forget the beautiful statement coin on both pieces.

"These were inspired by wandering around markets in Brooklyn over summer with my best friend. We wandered upon a market one Sunday, and there was a jewellery stall selling mixed Pearl and metal pieces. I loved the combination of the soft feminine pearl, and the gold hardware and knew I wanted to add something similar to this collection. The coin was inspired by my time in Grand Cayman, where I learned that coin chains were a big part of their culture."

 

Pearl Knot Drop Earrings

 

 

The twisted knot pearl earring with a plunge style statement drop. A twisted gold bar to create a statement with this classic pearl earring.

 

Mixed Metal Link Bracelet

The chunky block link bracelet in gold and silver. Adding in the mixed metal element to this collection with a bold curved block link.

"Inspired by an old necklace I bought in Germany when I spent a lot of time working there, I loved creating a piece that celebrates gold and silver. I’ve always been an advocate for mixing metals, and I wanted these pieces to be multipurpose. You can wear them as a necklace, bracelet, body chain, anklet, you name it."
