SCARAB

Rooted in ancient symbolism and shaped through a contemporary lens, this pair of sculptural earrings reflects Sophie Buhai’s devotion to form, material, and meaning. Crafted in sterling silver, each piece carries a polished onyx drop whose profound black surface holds depth, gravity, and a composed allure. 

Drawing from the scarab’s enduring associations with renewal and continuity, the design unfolds in an elongated silhouette that moves with intention. As they fall from the ear, the form traces a measured rhythm, transforming gesture into presence and ornament into expression. It is here that the Scarab Drop Earrings in Onyx reveal their character: balanced, symbolic, and unmistakably sculptural. 

LILY OF THE VALLEY BROOCH

Sterling silver transforms into botanical poetry through the atelier's articulated craftsmanship. Eight centimetres of precious metal become a living talisman, capturing the delicate geometry of muguet, that bell-shaped flower which Christian Dior kept always within a reliquary at his breast, cherishing its spring-born promise of fortune. 

Jonathan Anderson's inaugural couture vision for the House resurrects this verdant language, channelling generations of creative inheritance into wearable art. The brooch emerges from his Spring-Summer 2026 collection as part of the Dior Couture Charms series, where playful sophistication meets the atelier's most hallowed codes. Each petal, each stem articulates through hinged construction, animated by the wearer's movement, a kinetic sculpture that recalls how Monsieur Dior himself distributed fresh sprigs to his petites mains every first of May, ensuring luck blessed the fingers that brought dreams into silk and taffeta. 

AUBÖCK MAGNIFYING GLASS NECKLACE

Crafted from 100% natural horn, the Auböck Magnifying Glass Necklace embodies Austrian handcraft in dialogue with Lemaire’s refined restraint. Each piece is unique: horn, with its flowing veins and tonal shifts, refuses uniformity and carries its own living character. 
A circular lens, suspended from a supple lambskin cord, sharpens the gaze and magnifies detail – both literally and metaphorically. Adjustable knots enable the wearer to adjust the length, shaping proximity, and perspective. 

RAMO

Like a forest caught in mid-breath, the Ramo Earrings by Carolina de Barros unfurl with quiet poetry, each vine-like curve a whisper of woodland midnight and soft moonlight. Delicate pearls cling along their sinuous paths, like dew-kissed blossoms suspended in repose. These aren’t just adornments; they are miniature moment-capturing silhouettes, sculpted in recycled silver, and there are also in an 18ct gold-plated version, made entirely by hand in her London atelier. 

A FOUND BEAUTY

Two silver arcs, barely touching. From their meeting point, a shard of clarity descends, neither ornament nor excess, but presence distilled. Discovered on the page of jewellery artist Lauralai Wilson, these earrings suspend time in their making. Unlabeled, but unmistakable: likely silver and quartz, materials chosen not for opulence, but for their resonance. A fragment of light. A trace of intention. A beauty not declared, only held.

TO MIND - JOANNE TAN




This freshly graduate of Central Saint Martins within jewellery design is already gathering a lot of the attention through Instagram, the only "place" for now, where you can follow her talent. The reason is her collection of handmade facial ornaments, a new take on statement piercing jewellery.  In each piece Joanne combines traditional techniques with modern ones and focuses on topical approaches. "Not Your Average Beauty" is her collection drawing inspiration from radical tribal jewellery that aims to combat the media´s idealisation of beauty and the modern obsession of plastic surgery that is prevalent in her Asian community. Constructed with 18K yellow gold, pearls and diamonds, each single piece is uniquely designed with varied structures, scaled accordingly to fit the multitude of facial anatomies of both Western and Asian societies. With this collection Joanne hopes to raise awareness about the pressures of today’s beauty standards by offering a viable alternative that celebrates one’s individuality and improves existing imperfections. By enhancing dissatisfying features on the face, Joanne hopes she challenges her wearers to embrace their flaws.

CÉLINE DECEMBER 2016 SELECTION


Last few years, every December Céline surprises us with some special picks, something available to buy only during this month, a sort of celebrative way to connect the passing year with the upcoming one, or cynics would say an another way to make money during the "feel sorry for my wallet/account" month. Take it as you preffer, romantically or rough, Céline named it simply "December selection". Something for you or for (really) beloved ones. Something for (almost) every taste, something that will suit (almost) every pocket, of course in Céline ratio speaking. Among quite wide range, we picked below (from top to bottom, left to right): the crew neck sweater in camel wool mouline, soft ballerina flat in navy nappa lambskin, the xxl coin bracelet in gray-pink marble and gold brass, the beige sangle shoulder bag, woven check moccasin in optic white, frame evening clutch on chain in black and white smooth lambskin, diane sunglasses, parka in navy double face cashmere and dot triple long earrings in gold brass.
