Inspired by the music of the 1980s and 1990s, NeverNoT’s latest collection transforms the iconic boombox into fine jewellery that celebrates memories, individuality and self-expression.

NeverNoT’s Turn It Up collection reimagines one of music’s most recognisable symbols in fine jewellery, celebrating nostalgia, storytelling and the emotional connections that continue to unite generations.

Music has an extraordinary ability to transport us. A familiar song can instantly take us back to a particular place, remind us of a special moment or reconnect us with people who have shaped our lives. While trends come and go, the memories attached to music often remain. That idea sits at the heart of NeverNoT’s latest collection.

Rather than drawing inspiration from traditional jewellery themes, the London-based fine jewellery brand has looked to one of the most recognisable cultural icons of the 1980s and 1990s — the portable boombox. The result is Turn It Up, a vibrant collection that combines colourful gemstones, playful design and meticulous craftsmanship with a celebration of music’s enduring influence. 

Jewellery That Tells A Story

NeverNoT has built a reputation for creating jewellery that sparks conversation.

Previous collections have transformed familiar objects into fine jewellery, encouraging wearers to see everyday items through a completely different lens. Turn It Up continues that philosophy, taking an object recognised around the world and reimagining it as a highly detailed wearable design.

The collection centres around eight boombox pendants, each crafted in 14-carat gold and brought to life through a combination of diamonds and vibrant coloured gemstones. Rather than simply recreating the silhouette, each piece captures the distinctive features that made the original portable music players instantly recognisable.

More Than Nostalgia

The boombox is more than a piece of retro technology.

For many people it represents a particular moment in time, when discovering new music meant recording cassette tapes, listening to favourite albums repeatedly and sharing songs with friends and family.

Although technology has changed dramatically, music continues to create those same emotional connections.

Turn It Up reflects that universal experience. Rather than focusing on a specific artist or musical genre, the collection celebrates the role music plays in bringing people together across cultures, generations and different stages of life.

Every Detail Counts

What makes the collection particularly engaging is the level of detail incorporated into every pendant.

Buttons, speakers, cassette compartments and aerials have all been recreated in miniature, while colourful combinations of sapphires, emeralds, opals, turquoise, lapis lazuli, tourmalines and diamonds bring each design to life.

The reverse of every pendant is equally considered, featuring engraved and sculpted details inspired by the ports and connections found on original boomboxes. Each piece is also engraved with the words “NeverNoT Turn It Up”, reinforcing the playful spirit that runs throughout the collection.

Personality Through Fine Jewellery

Across the luxury jewellery sector there has been growing interest in pieces that express personality rather than simply complement an outfit.

Collectors are increasingly drawn towards jewellery with meaning, humour and individuality — designs that encourage conversation as much as admiration.

Turn It Up fits naturally within that movement.

While the collection showcases impressive craftsmanship and gemstone setting, it also reminds us that fine jewellery can be playful. It demonstrates that luxury design does not always have to be formal, instead allowing memories, culture and emotion to become part of the creative process.

A Collection Designed To Connect Generations

One of the most interesting aspects of Turn It Up is its broad appeal.

Those who grew up with cassette tapes and portable stereos will instantly recognise the inspiration behind the collection, while younger audiences are discovering the boombox as a cultural icon that continues to influence music, fashion and design.

That ability to resonate across different generations gives the collection a relevance that extends beyond nostalgia alone.

It becomes less about remembering the past and more about celebrating the enduring role music continues to play in everyday life.

The Jewels Club Take

NeverNoT has never been afraid to approach fine jewellery differently.

With Turn It Up, the brand has once again taken an everyday object and elevated it through craftsmanship, colour and storytelling. The collection demonstrates that luxury jewellery can be expressive, playful and deeply personal without losing its sense of quality or refinement.

At a time when many collections focus on trends, Turn It Up instead focuses on memories. It is a reminder that the most meaningful jewellery often celebrates not only what we wear, but the experiences and emotions we carry with us.
