We’d like to hear your memories of the jewellery retailer as it prepares to appoint administrators in the UK and Ireland

The retailer, Claire’s, known for tween jewellery and ear piercing is preparing to appoint administrators in the UK and Ireland, after it struggled to keep up with competition from online retailers such as Amazon.

The decision puts 2,150 jobs at risk and comes after Claire’s in the US and Canada filed for bankruptcy this month.
