If Claudia Winkleman Had a Charm Club… These Are the Charms We’d Choose
If Claudia Winkleman had her own Charm Club necklace, we already know it wouldn’t be boring.
There'd be a little mystery, a little glamour, something delicious, something dramatic… and probably a drink involved.
So when we started our “What charms would we choose for famous people?” series, there was one person who absolutely had to make the list:
Claudia Winkleman.
Known for her unmistakable fringe, bold lip, eclectic style and, of course, her role as host of The Traitors, Claudia has a personality that is practically begging to be turned into a charm necklace.
And because choosing charms is all about finding the little things that tell a story, we started thinking…
What would Claudia's charm necklace look like?

We didn't just pick charms because they looked pretty. Every charm had to earn its place.
Here's what made the cut…
The Red Crystal Heart (dark, mysterious and very Claudia)
First up, the red crystal heart.
Because, let's be honest, Claudia isn't all sweetness and hearts and flowers.
There's something dark and slightly mysterious about her style, particularly when she's standing at that round table delivering one of those looks that makes you wonder whether she already knows exactly what's about to happen.
The deep red crystal heart felt like the perfect combination of love, drama and a little bit of mystery.
And frankly, if you've watched The Traitors, you'll know that mystery is rather important.
Coffee & Croissant - for THOSE breakfasts
Next came our Gold coffee mug and croissant charms.
If you've watched The Traitors, you'll know that Claudia's breakfasts have become almost as talked about as the actual murders.
There's something wonderfully chaotic about watching the contestants sit around enjoying breakfast while we, as viewers, know that there are secrets, suspicions and scheming bubbling away underneath it all. It's full on awkward!!
The Heart Key & Heart Padlock; she holds ALL the secrets
Then we got a little more symbolic. A heart key and a heart padlock because Claudia quite literally holds the key to all those secrets.
Who is a Traitor?
Who has been murdered?
Who knows what?
Who is about to get caught out?
She knows.
They don't know that she knows.
We don't know what she knows.
And somehow she manages to deliver it all with that wonderfully deadpan Claudia energy.
But there's another side to it too.
For all the deception and drama, Claudia clearly has a huge amount of warmth and affection for the contestants. So we loved the idea of using hearts within the key and padlock to represent the fact that she does it all with love.
We would have added our pinky promise charm here too, because honestly… what better charm could there be for a show built on promises, secrets and people desperately trying to convince everyone they're telling the truth?
The Lipstick.....Did we really have a choice?
Of course Claudia needed a lipstick charm.
Her bold lip has become part of her instantly recognisable look, so this one was never going to be left off the necklace.
It's one of those little details that makes a charm selection feel personal.
Because that's what we love about charm jewellery, it doesn't have to simply match your outfit.
It can represent you, your favourite things. Your personality. Your memories. Your little quirks.
And in Claudia's case, a bold lipstick is definitely part of the package.
Finally, The Martini Glass
Now, before anyone starts sending us messages, yes, we know Claudia doesn't drink!
But we needed one. Because somebody has to sit back and watch the round table drama unfold.
The accusations.
The nervous glances.
The “I'm not a Traitor!”
The people who absolutely, definitely, 100% know who the Traitors are…and then somehow end up voting for the wrong person.
So the martini glass isn't really about drinking.
It's about watching the chaos unfold with a metaphorical cocktail in hand.
And if you've watched The Traitors, you'll understand exactly what we mean.
So, what does our Claudia Winkleman charm necklace say?
Put all those charms together and you've got a pretty good little snapshot of Claudia:
❤️ A little love
🔐 A LOT of secrets
☕ Coffee
🥐 Croissants
💄 A bold lip
🍸 And an appreciation for a bit of drama
Which is exactly why we love creating celebrity-inspired charm jewellery.
It's not really about trying to copy someone's jewellery.
It's about asking:
“If we turned their personality into charms… what would we choose?”
And that's where it gets fun.
Create your own story with Charm Club
The best thing about charm jewellery is that there are no rules.
You can choose charms because they represent your personality, your favourite things, a memory, a person you love… or simply because you think they're cute.
Maybe your necklace would look completely different to Claudia's.
Maybe you're a coffee-and-croissant girl.
Maybe you're all about hearts and love.
Maybe you're more lipstick than padlock.
Or maybe, like us, you just need a cocktail glass to get you through the drama.
Whatever your story, you get to choose the charms.
That's the whole point of Charm Club.
Your charms. Your story. Your rules.
