If you've watched Married at First Sight Australia, you'll already know Lauren Dunn. Unfiltered, sharply dressed, and completely comfortable in her own skin - she's the kind of woman who walks into a room and owns it without trying. So when the opportunity came to collaborate with Lauren on a jewellery edit, I didn't hesitate. I wanted to know what makes her tick when it comes to personal style, the pieces she never takes off, and where that unmistakable confidence really comes from.
Grab a cuppa - this one's a good'un.
Effortless, Tailored & Cool: The Three Words That Define Her Style
When I asked Lauren to describe her personal style in three words, she didn't miss a beat: "Effortless, tailored and cool."
"It's the holy trinity, isn't it? The woman who looks like she didn't spend hours getting ready - but absolutely knows exactly what works on her. That balance between structure and ease is something I've always admired in jewellery design, too. A well-cut blazer meets a stack of gold rings. Nothing trying too hard. Everything intentional
It's a feeling we chase at Dainty London: pieces that feel polished but never precious, designed to slot into your everyday life without shouting about it. Sustainable fine jewellery that works as hard as you do.
The Daily Reach-For: Gold Rings, Always
"My gold rings!"
No hesitation. No "it depends on the outfit." Just gold rings, every single day. And honestly? Same.
There's something about a gold stacking ring - or five - that anchors an outfit. Whether you're in jeans and a white tee or dressed for dinner, gold rings do the heavy lifting. They catch the light when you gesture, they clink gently when you pick up your coffee, and they remind you that you made an effort - even on the days you absolutely didn't.
Lauren's a self-confessed "more is more" stacker. No single statement piece, no quiet minimalism. Just layers of gold across her fingers, each ring with its own story.
"I'm a more is more!"
If you've been wondering how to stack rings without it looking messy, Lauren's approach is the only rule you need: if you love each piece individually, they'll work together. Mix textures - a hammered band next to a polished signet, a barnacle-finish ring beside something set with stones. The clash is the point.
The Jewellery Memory That Means the Most
Even for someone who collects gold rings like they're going out of fashion, the most meaningful piece in Lauren's collection isn't a ring at all.
"My diamond studs that I got for my 30th from my parents. My dad took so much time and effort to source the most brilliant diamonds."
Isn't that exactly what fine jewellery is meant to be? It's never really about the carat weight or the clarity grade - it's about someone who loves you spending hours choosing something they knew you'd wear forever. Diamond stud earrings become heirlooms not because of what they cost, but because of who gave them to you and why.
It reminds me of why I started making heirloom-quality jewellery in the first place. The best pieces carry stories. They're handed down with a "your grandmother wore this on her wedding day" or "your father chose these diamonds himself." That's proper luxury - the kind that outlasts trends and outlives us.
Where Real Confidence Comes From
Lauren's known for being unapologetically herself - on screen and off. No filtering, no people-pleasing, no shrinking herself to make others comfortable. So I asked her directly: where does that come from?
"100% my mum and all the women in my family."
There it is. Confidence isn't something you're born with - it's modelled. It's watching the women around you take up space, speak their minds, wear what they want, and refuse to apologise for any of it. Lauren's answer resonated deeply with me, because so many Dainty London pieces are inspired by exactly that: powerful women, goddess energy, the quiet strength that runs through families.
The Crown of Embers Collection was built for this. The AÈRÅ Collection, too - pieces designed to make you feel like the main character in your own story, not a supporting act in someone else's.
The Advice Every Woman Needs to Hear
And then she said the thing that made me want to stand up and applaud:
"The right moment never comes, treat yourself today! You deserve it, sis."
How many of us are sitting on a beautiful piece of jewellery, waiting for an occasion that never quite arrives? Saving the fine gold jewellery for a party that hasn't been planned, a milestone that hasn't happened, a version of ourselves that feels more worthy?
Lauren's right. The moment is now. Wear the rings to the supermarket. Put the diamond studs in for the school run. Stack the bracelets for your Tuesday morning Zoom call. You are the occasion.
Treat yourself jewellery isn't selfish - it's a daily reminder that you matter, that you're allowed to feel beautiful on an ordinary Wednesday, and that life's too short for a "saved for best" drawer that never gets opened.
One More Thing
Lauren and I have been working on something special behind the scenes - an exclusive jewellery collaboration that brings her signature style to life in precious metal. Keep your eyes on your inbox (and our Instagram) for the reveal. Trust me, you're going to want in on this one.
In the meantime? Take her advice. Open that jewellery box, put on the good stuff, and get on with your day like the main character you are.
You deserve it!
