I designed this simple but stylish piece for those days when you're doing things like a dog walk with a friend followed by a coffee, popping to a farmers market or doing the supermarket shop. You want to be casual but just need a little something that complements the casual outfit and gives an individuality to your look. The Audrey and Judy are perfect for this - the soft suede against the pearls works so well together and looks great with t-shirts, shirts and knitwear.
In my early career as a womenswear buyer I used to visit Milan on a fairly regular basis. Often the stylish women I saw wore statement chains, which I absolutely loved. These weren't chains created from base metal with a thin gold plate, these were the real deal. I wanted one.
That look stayed with me until I finally created the Sandrine. So this necklace is my nod to the stylish women of Milan I saw all those years ago.
Margot is such a good piece, an essential for a gold jewellery wardrobe. Striking, stylish and easy to co-ordinate with outfits from shirts to knitwear, exactly what I intended when I added it to the collection. I love it!
The delicate nature of the Elenore, with its subtle sparkle, is so pretty, which is exactly what I wanted. As the diamonds are small, beautifully white in colour and sparkle so delicately, they can easily be mistaken for the real thing.
I wanted a necklace that looked like a treasured piece with infinite wearable options. I love to wear it long, layered with another long necklace, as it adds a subtle glamour and catches the light unexpectedly. Or you can wear it layered double in the neckline for a double diamond statement.
If like me you enjoy wearing a stud earring but want a stud earring that has a stylish presence, then that is the Donna earring. They stand out for all the right reasons. They have a matt, hammered finish which gives them a bespoke, hand finished look. I love to wear them with high neck jumpers in autumn and winter when I'm not wearing a necklace, or with a print in spring and summer when a necklace would compete with a pattern. They really are incredibly useful and always get noticed and admired.
Office or dinner and everything in between, the Clemmie earring works perfectly! I love to wear these earrings with the Agatha ring and Gabriel bangle or Margot cuff.
The simplicity of this earring is so lovely. It's delicate and feminine, yet it has a presence. Great for day or evening, with its tiny stack of pearls. And what a lovely gift they would make.
Although I've styled them on our model with a brown cotton shirt and jeans, I could easily put them with a fine cotton blouse or a simple black dress. They're a good earring to work with quite a few looks.
For other jewellery I'd keep things delicate: Angel gold bangles and the Claudia diamond look necklace. Diamonds and pearls always work beautifully together. I wouldn't wear anything else pearl.
If you don't already know, I adore pearls. I wanted to design a simple pearl necklace which I could wear formally or casually and also felt very contemporary. The combination of the texture of the suede and nacre of the pearl is so lovely; the warmth of the chocolate suede with pearl and gold is perfect.
I absolutely love how this necklace/chain moves and catches the light. It has an almost continuous liquidity - which is why I describe it as "liquid gold".
I wanted a gold necklace that was both different from a standard chain link and had a presence when worn. This is an Italian sourced chain, created from sterling silver and is heavily gold plated.
Wear on its own for a chic single statement, or layer with finer necklaces for a more boho look.
The Stella is such a great piece, with its scattering of coloured stones in different shapes and central opal allowing it to work so well with lots of outfits. I decided to have a gold 20 inch chain so that it can be layered with shorter necklaces. It's a great everyday necklace to look modern and finished.
The Fabienne ring has such timeless elegance. The perfect combination of making a statement and femininity. I hand select each pearl for this ring, working with my pearl supplier. After many years working together they know the quality and size I need to make this ring so special. We can't always get the size we need so sometimes you may find we're temporarily out of stock, but hopefully never for too long! I never want to compromise on the quality of the pearl.
Pearls are my go to. A bracelet, earrings or a necklace, I always reach for them, either as the statement or as a beautiful, quiet and elegant addition.
The Bella, along with the Bonnie which is the same bracelet with a silver clasp, is one of those pieces I would put in a wardrobe essentials category. It works beautifully on its own and looks great layered or stacked with other bracelets for a more contemporary twist. I selected these pearls specifically for their gorgeous irregular shape, size and lustre.
Pearls are the birthstone, though not technically a stone, for anyone born in June. How lucky.
These earrings are a brilliant modern everyday earring. They have a gorgeous level of detail with their subtle sparkle. I've been wearing them for years and still love them.
The Tiffany earring is low key yet also gets noticed, I know that's a contradiction! I think it must be the lovely hammered effect on the silver and strong yet simple shape. I love this earring for day time but it's also great for night time too. I'd recommend wearing the Tiffany earrings with the Angel hammered bangles for a subtle stylish connection of the hammered finish.
You know when you're short of time but want to look finished, without being able to give it too much thought? The Freya is the one to reach for every time. It's as useful as a pair of Madge hoops. It lifts your outfit, adds a youthful look, and doesn't need any co-ordinating with your clothing.
You can layer it with a longer or shorter necklace, or wear it on its own.
I know I shouldn't have favourites, but if I did, Genevieve would certainly be in my top ten. I sourced these stunning large baroque freshwater pearls for their striking appearance and lustre.
The Trin earrings came about as I wanted a gemstone stud that was large enough to enjoy more of the gorgeous stones. Labradorite is usually where I start with any new gemstone earrings, because I find the colours incredibly versatile and beautiful to look at, as you are constantly seeing new shots of colour from grey to blue to green.
When deciding what statement earrings I wanted in the collection, this was an immediate yes. I love the combination of the labradorite stud at the top and the organic shape of the metal. The labradorite has a tumbled finish, so slightly rough and not too polished, which I think works beautifully with the organic shape and matt finish of the gold plated bronze drop.
The perfect everyday earring! The Minnie came about as I wanted to combine gemstones with the practicality and comfort of an everyday earring, offered in both silver and gold. Moonstone is such a pretty stone, with its milky white shot through with colours of blue and pink. Moonstone simply had to be in the collection, far too pretty to exclude.
The perfect everyday earring! The Minnie came about as I wanted to combine gemstones with the practicality and comfort of an everyday earring, offered in both silver and gold. Labradorite, being one of my favourite stones, was first on my shopping list! The versatility of this colour never ceases to amaze me. Whatever colour you wear, it seems to be able to tone and complement.
I wanted this slim cuff in the collection because it has a different look to many cuffs that I really love. The main body of bangle has this wonderful grooved pattern making it look as though the metal has been twisted. It has wonderful pewter coloured ends.
I love the scale of this bracelet with its large links of different textures and lion head tag. It has a contemporary cool look, making a striking statement.
This was my first ever hoop and it had to be a very particular size - not too big and not too small so it could be suitable for every occasion/outfit. A good pair of hoops can make someone ten years younger, they look modern and stylish. Perfect from everything from a day out shopping to dinner or cinema trip with the girlfriends.
I created the Lori because it's a cool piece to layer or wear on its own, and it makes a perfect gift. I love that you can wear it in two ways: either with the lariat drop as shown in the main picture, or move the T bar fastener to the circle above the pearl and disk for a necklace without the drop. Great for a weekend away or a holiday, pack one necklace and wear it two ways with different necklines.
There are so few outfits where this necklace wouldn't work. Layered or worn on its own it always works. It also looks very chic with the Claudia diamond look necklace. The gold Angel bangles make great partners.
Rosewood with gold tipping is such a rich combination, and the natural grain means no two pairs are quite alike. Made for me by the wood experts The Branch, who I have worked with for a long time. Mixing textures across jewellery and clothing is one of my favourite things, and these look wonderful against linen in summer or a chunky knit in winter.
The Lee necklace came about as I wanted to create a contemporary heavy link necklace which could be worn with either the plain link to the front and clasp to the back or have a feature clasp to the front. I also wanted the ability to layer other necklaces above it so I made it 20" in length to allow for this. Also this length can elongate the neck and form a beautiful "v" shape in the neckline.
