The Mandarin
Hybrid Design
The Mandarin, a jewel steeped in history and grandeur, harks back to an era where the colour orange was a bastion of power and privilege. In ancient China, the mandarins — high-ranking officials — were the exclusive bearers of orange, a colour that denoted their illustrious status and influence. This ring captures that legacy, its burnt orange hues reminiscent of the very robes once worn by these dignitaries.
The Mandarin, as its name suggests, is a ring of vibrant allure and multifaceted functionality. The gemstone at the centre of The Mandarin is a perfectly cut oval, chosen for its depth of colour and clarity, evoking the last rays of sun as they dip below a faraway horizon.
Surrounding the Mandarin Garnet is a two-tier petal pave design. These petals are not merely ornamental; each one is meticulously set with fine diamonds that catch the light and multiply it, mirroring the twinkling stars that begin to pepper the dusky sky.
But the wonder of The Mandarin does not end with its appearance. Crafted with innovative design principles, this ring transcends traditional jewellery norms. With a seamless transformation, the Mandarin becomes a pendant, allowing the wearer the luxury of choice and adaptability, and carry the warmth of the garnet close to their heart or dazzle on their hand. It's a unique creation, promising not just to adorn but to captivate and to fascinate with its transformational allure.
The Mandarin then, is not just an adaptable piece of Jewellery, it is a wearable slice of history.
The Himalaya
The Himalaya ring, a testament to nature's splendour and human artistry, draws its inspiration from the majestic Himalayan mountain range. The design elements of the Himalaya ring are a tribute to the rugged and awe-inspiring facets of this mountainous terrain. This ring showcases a magnificent Peridot gemstone, akin to a lush green meadow nestled amidst the grandeur of towering peaks. This rare gem, known for its vibrant, life-affirming hue, symbolizes the heart of the mountain.
The Peridot is cradled in a graduated constellation of fine diamonds, mimicking snow capped peaks, and the entire setting is crafted in lustrous yellow gold that mirrors the golden hues of the sun as it sets over the Himalayas, casting a warm glow on the snow-capped summits.
The Himalaya ring is not merely a piece of jewellery; it's a one-of-a-kind creation that represents the union of natural wonder and human craftmanship. It embodies the adventurer's spirit, the explorer's courage, and the connoisseur's eye for unmatched beauty. This ring is more than an accessory — it's a celebration of one of natures wonders, sculpted by skilled hands into a wearable heirloom.
The Lilly Pads
The Lilly Pads earrings are a mesmerizing creation that brings forth the serene beauty of nature into an elegant piece of jewellery. Inspired by the tranquil scenes of a lily pond, where vibrant lily pads float peacefully, these earrings capture the essence of harmony and natural splendour.
The use of Pink Sapphires and Tsavorite gems is a deliberate choice to mirror the vivid colours one might find in such a serene setting. The Pink Sapphires are reminiscent of the soft hues of water lilies, while the Tsavorite reflects the green of fresh, dew-speckled foliage in the early morning light. Each stone is carefully sourced, ensuring that only the most lustrous gems grace these earrings, reflecting the purity of the water's surface.
Diamond accents act as droplets of water on the Lilly Pads, glistening with a brilliance that can only be achieved through high-quality craftsmanship. The meticulous setting of each gemstone is a testament to the jeweller's dedication to creating a piece that not only adorns but tells a story.
The design elements incorporate circular motifs, symbolizing the endless cycle of life and the ripples that dance across a pond when a gentle breeze caresses the water. The earrings' structure allows for a subtle movement, reminiscent of the lily pads that sway with the pond's gentle currents.
The Lilly Pads earrings are not just a stunning accessory; they represent a marriage of art and the artisan's touch, a one-of-a-kind treasure that brings the wearer closer to the timeless beauty of the natural world.
The Butterflies
Hybrid Design
The Butterflies earrings are an exquisite celebration of nature's own artistry, reminiscent of the delicate dance of butterflies in a sunlit meadow. Crafted with an extraordinary array of natural, unheated multi-coloured sapphires, each gemstone is a vivid testament to the vibrant tapestry that composes their wings. These sapphires, sourced from the farthest reaches of the earth, display the same untouched beauty as that of a butterfly's wing, sparkling with the intensity of their original, unenhanced hues.
Adorning the sapphire display are fine diamonds, set to mimic the ethereal grace of a butterfly's flight. The diamonds have been selected with an eye for clarity and brilliance, ensuring that they capture even the faintest light, reflecting it back with a dazzling radiance. This interplay of light and colour is a homage to the sunlight glinting off the delicate wings of a butterfly as it flutters through the air.
The design of The Butterflies is deeply thoughtful, reflecting innovation in it’s versatility. They can be worn in different ways, each mode a reflection of the wearer's mood or the occasion's demand. One can choose the sapphire wing for a joyful burst of colour. Or add the diamond wing to create a full butterfly in each ear, celebrating the complete vision of natural symmetry and beauty.
The high quality craftsmanship of The Butterflies is evident in the precision of the settings and the seamless transition between the different ways they can be worn. It's a design that not only allows for multiple expressions of style, but does so with a grace and ease that belies the complexity of it’s construction.
The Butterflies earrings are not just a unique piece of jewellery; they are a statement of sophistication, versatility, and an ode to the delicate beauty of our natural world. They are for the connoisseur who understands the allure of sapphires; the brilliance of diamonds; and the ever-changing beauty of life represented by the butterfly's journey.
