Summer Gemstones

After seeing the final samples, we knew this collection needed something more. It had the colour, the weight, the presence. But it needed the setting. So we went to Napoli. A place where every corner’s alive and everyone you meet leaves an impression.

We worked with local faces, older and younger, each with their own story to tell. People with a quiet kind of confidence. Just real people, wearing pieces that somehow felt like theirs all along. It brought the collection to life in a way we couldn’t have planned for.

The silver tones contrast against sun-kissed skin and an open shirt, giving a clean, confident, and elevated summer look. Sterling silver takes centre stage with its bright, polished finish.

This drop builds on the chaos and success of last summer’s sell out collection. It takes the shape of one of our most recognisable pieces and pushes it further. Same feeling. Same shapes. Just reworked in deeper tones, richer colours, and stones you’ve been asking for since the beginning.
