What is By Pariah?

By Pariah is a jewellery label based in the United Kingdom. According to Marie Claire UK, it was founded in 2016 by Sophie Howard. Although it is sometimes filed under accessories, its range consists of fine and demi-fine jewellery rather than bags or other accessories.

Products and positioning

The range covered by the Marie Claire UK article includes gold hoops such as The Curve and Sabine styles, pearl drop earrings, huggie hoops, birthstone earrings, chain bracelets, rings and gemstone hoop earrings. Pieces are made in 14ct gold-plated vermeil, which the article describes as 100% recycled, and the gemstones are used in their natural form without further treatment.

Pricing

The article states that prices start from around £100, and the listed pieces range from about £90 for sale huggie hoops to £460 for large Sabine hoops. It describes the brand as more affordable than its celebrity following might suggest, with a focus on natural materials and ethical practices.

Why it matters
