The Laings Journal
Laings had the pleasure of sponsoring the second Scottish Influencer Awards on Sunday 3rd March. Bringing together the best of Scotland’s social media stars to celebrate creativity, ingenuity, and content creation. The event allowed us to pay homage to our Scottish heritage by sponsoring the Lifestyle Influencer of The Year category and lending a beautiful collection of jewellery and watches to nominees and guests.
The Scottish Influencer Awards were held in the Radisson Red hotel in Glasgow, with Laings hosting the Laings Lounge for VIPs and the dazzling Laings Lunch. Alongside several nominees in the Lifestyle category, Laings also dressed the Style Influencer of The Year winner. We proudly supported the event alongside Porsche and Rock Angel among other headline sponsors, Laings being the sole sponsor from the jewellery and watch industry. Together, we honoured social art and passion, values which resonate with our own.
The Laings Lounge
The day began in the Laings Lounge, where influencers were invited to be dressed in their hand-picked jewellery pieces and enjoy a glass of champagne. The social stars used their jewellery to showcase individuality, with choices ranging from exquisite diamonds to hued gemstones. Winner of the Style category, Siobhan Mackenzie, opted for a classic diamond set including drop earrings and a diamond line necklet, exuding brilliance, and sparkle. Rona McMillan, Health and Wellbeing Influencer of The Year finalist, was dressed in Laings brilliant cut diamond earrings and bracelet. Fashion influencer Jilly Isabella made her hosting debut on the red carpet in a beautiful white ensemble, complete with a stunning Laings brown diamond set. Other highlights included dressing presenters Danni Menzies and Susie Cormack Bruce, as well as influencers Shauna McGregor, Caroline Cook, Danielle Quinn and Hayley Daines, who wore carefully selected Laings diamond pieces.
The Laings Lunch
Leading on from the Laings Lounge, VIPs were invited to the pre-ceremony Laings Lunch. This was an opportunity for us to invite guests to enjoy an exquisite lunch while immersing themselves in a display of dazzling diamonds. Fine jewellery was placed on the centre pieces of each table alongside beautiful floral arrangements, creating magical moments of discovery. Each guest was encouraged to try on pieces and to explore the jewellery for themselves. Georgie Noble, Lifestyle Influencer of the Year, was thrilled to win our Laings Hidden Gem competition and take home a sparkling pair of classic diamond stud earrings.

The awards ceremony rounded off a remarkable day, honouring Scotland’s showcase of social stars. Sally Pearson, Marketing Director, presented Wendy Gilmour (@thankfifi) with the Lifestyle Influencer of The Year award. Laings embraces the social and digital future for Scotland, with passionate individuals being at the heart of what we support.
