One of the highlights of the Vitaly collection is the The Paralyze chain. Blending soft and hard elements, the statement piece has gently curving spikes that take on an almost feather-like appearance.

Made from stainless steel, the set is on sale for £72, buyers have called them "a great set of hoops" that are "simple and high-quality."

While there were no negative reviews to speak of, one buyer who left a three-star review on Trustpilot said: "I bought stuff on 25% off but still felt like their prices are on the steep end. Their designs are cool and different, but that seems to be their only unique selling point."
