Renee’s bling

New venture for Rachel and Rod’s girl

- Ricardo Simich

Renee Stewart is no stranger to making an impression on catwalks around the world.

And now the daughter of Kiwi supermodel Rachel Hunter and chart-topping British rocker Rod Stewart is set to make a splash with her latest jewellery creations.

The 26-year-old has combined with London-based Monarc Jewellery to design a range of dazzling bling.

The new collection features a range of brooches, lapel pins, earrings, necklaces and rings.

Monarc founder Ella Drake hails from New Zealand.

A statement from Monarc said Stewart and Drake were “proud to announce the collection”.

“The collaborat­ion evolved from Renee and Ella meeting through a mutual friend in London, proceeding to develop the series over many studio sessions together.

“The two incorporat­ed Renee’s natural creative flair for shape and form through her contempora­ry dance career, which became an overarchin­g theme of their sessions.”

As well as being a model, Stewart is a graduate from the London Contempora­ry Dance School.

Last year she walked the red carpet at the

Brit Awards in London, and also featured on the catwalk at the Milan Fashion Show during the showing of Dolce & Gabbana.

On its website, Monarc says its offerings were “a handpicked selection of internatio­nal boutiques across Europe and Australasi­a”.

“Monarc is based in London with an emphasis on craftsmans­hip, premium materials and bespoke service. Its objective is to create modern, classic jewellery to be worn now and passed on to future generation­s.”
