The bold silhouettes, stackable rings and sculptural gold pieces of the current collection are versatile; the striking pieces can be worn casually to breakfast and to instantly dress up an outfit for evening events.

Scroll on for the pieces that’ll have you seamlessly fitting in with the jet set.

1. Picnic in Paris

Imagine yourself in the city of lights, a view of le Tour Eiffel around every corner. You’ve found an oasis in the centre of Paris, the Jardin des Tuileries, and the soft afternoon sun filters through the leaves of the chestnut trees. The Paperclip diamond ring on your hand sparkles, the light catching the jewels embedded within. Paris is the epitome of understated style and this minimalist modern piece embodies this unique brand of elegance.

2. Lunch on a yacht in Amalfi

Ever wanted to be one of the beautiful people, snacking on fresh seafood and toasting the day with an Aperol spritz while waves lap at the hull of your yacht and other sunkissed passengers in breezy white linen swan around? Become part of the scene in a glittering Kaleidoscope bracelet, in diamond or emerald, that reflects the light from the sky and the ocean stretching out beyond the boat’s balustrade. This statement piece adds shimmer to daytime looks and layers effortlessly for evening drinks on deck.

3. Evening stroll in Florence

From a quiet side street, you watch the sky perform a technicolour dance as the sun sets across the Arno River. Your linen midi dress is cool against your skin as the city lights begin to glitter and twinkle beyond the famous Ponte Vecchio. You wear the Curved pave diamond ring, its delicate gems catching the last light. The ring’s understated shimmer lingers long after Florence fades into darkness, casting a glow over memories of walking between wine bars and piazzas. This piece, its elegant twist and echo of the river’s gentle turns, complements every outfit and reminds you to savour the city’s timeless pleasures.

4. Sunset aperitivo in Santorini

On a clifftop terrace in Oia you bring a sundowner cocktail to your lips as you bask in one of Santorini’s sensational sunsets. Cement your position as one of the fashion-forward crowd with a Kaleidoscope sapphire bracelet and matching Kaleidoscope blue sapphire ring. These lightweight yet impactful pieces add a bold splash of colour to the white-on-white palette, elevating and embellishing any golden hour look. Just as Santorini’s cobalt blue rooftops attract the last rays of sun, so too will your thoughtfully curated, unforgettable, coloured gemstones.

5. Late-night supper in Barcelona

Flamenco guitar music bounces off the tiled floor of the rooftop tapas bar. Much wine has been consumed and the scent of fresh bread, jamon, paprika and garlic wafts through the air. A suave barman in a leather apron places an espresso martini on the bar before you. Like a typical Spanish woman, the Round baguette diamond earrings are strong yet elegant, the clean lines and classic cut of the diamonds give structure to a casual night-time look. These earrings are intentional, luxe and just daring enough for an unforgettable night out in a city known for its art and architecture.

6. West End night out in London

The theatre district is all about razzle dazzle. Patrons of the arts dress for effect, donning velvet blazers and glamorous frocks. At pre-theatre dinners in fine restaurants, bottles of red wine are delivered to tables and the conversation is articulate, energetic and fun. Your sartorial choices place you right in the action. Dali diamond drop earrings, or perhaps the Bond diamond hoop earrings, add even more drama to your tailored night-out look. They reflect the candles’ flickering flames and late-night taxis passing in the street outside the windows, making them the perfect finishing touch for a night of theatre, cocktails and city glamour.

7. Market morning in the South of France

Wandering through the Saturday markets in Aix-en-Provence, a handwoven basket loaded with figs and wildflowers resting on your arm, a wide-brimmed sunhat shading your face, this is the sun-drenched south of France at its finest. Amid bundles of lavender, regional produce and artisanal, organic citrus balms, the mood is relaxed but naturally chic. The discreet diamonds of the Finlay necklace contrast with the paperclip links of the on-trend Otilia necklace, layered together for a quiet nod to daytime luxe. Local or tourist? It is impossible to tell. To add a touch more refinement, slip on the Petra tennis bracelet, whose alternating modern diamond shapes add flair but not fuss.
