The Great British Idiom!

We are huge fans of the great British idiom at Ellie Ellie. If you're not sure what exactly an idiom is, it's a group of words that have a particular meaning together that is different from the meanings of each word on its own. You can see an example of a British idiom with our new Idiom jewellery collection!

'Apple of my eye' is a well known idiom referring to someone that you cherish above all others, making it perfect for a girlfriend or best friend.

'Love you to the moon and back' is a well known idiom to tell someone how much they mean to you. The huge distance described relates to the lengths of your love for them.

To give someone 'butterflies' is a well known saying related to falling in love and refers to the feeling in their stomach because a person makes them feel special.




'Birds of a feather, flock together' is a well known idiom linked to friendship. The saying refers to birds of the same species, keeping together and being strong, making these studs a great gift for your best friend.

'Every cloud has a silver lining' is a well known idiom related to optimism. It means that difficult times often lead to better times and that the dark clouds will pass, to reveal sunshine.
