Fifteen years after her death, Tatler looks back at the hoops, pendants and charms that made Amy Winehouse’s jewellery as unmistakable as her voice, plus where to find the closest thing today
Fifteen years since Amy Winehouse died at her home in Camden Square on 23 July 2011, her music remains the reason the world still listens. Rehab, Back to Black, Valerie and Tears Dry on Their Own still play as though they were written yesterday. Her jewellery, worn with the same unfiltered instinct as her lyrics, is just as much a part of her story. Amy Winehouse never dressed for a red carpet. She dressed for herself, and the pieces she reached for say more about who she was than any styling note could.

Winehouse’s oversized hoop earrings were as much her signature as her beehive. Whether in colourful acrylic or plain gold, worn doorknocker-large, they were rarely subtle and never meant to be. They framed a face that did enough talking on its own, and turned a pair of earrings into a personality trait.
Get the look: Bottega Veneta’s gold-plated hoop earrings, Jennifer Fisher’s Large Gold Hoops or Jenny Bird’s Icon Hoops in Large (72mm) for a lighter, everyday version.
