Alluring Jewels
Alluring Form
With a dynamic and vivid visual memory, anything that captivates Iran-born Leyla Abdollahi’s vision and prompts her to think beyond the ordinary life, transforms into a source of inspiration. Her newest hero pieces, the Allure earrings, embody an aesthetic visual pleasure, inspired by curvilinear, sensual fluid dance movement. Crafted in 18k yellow and rose gold, these earrings are set with chrome diopside, London blue topaz, rhodolite, morganite and freshwater pearls. Playing with gems in various cuts and colors, the London designer embraces the idea of “flexibility to customize” the Allure earrings in a range of gems and colors. | leyla-abdollahi.com

New Era for Signets
Signet rings have been symbols of power, prestige and heritage since eons and have made a fashionable comeback. Founded by Emmet Smith, the Hatton Garden-based Rebus has made it their mission to revive the signet rings. Rebus has added a new set of creations to its collection – the Era rings inspired by relics of a bygone age, namely the signet collection housed at the British Museum. The three different designs are available in 9k and 18k yellow or white gold, and one of the styles is set with diamonds. The striking diamond Era ring has an elegant two banded design, set with five diamonds on each shoulder to give some extra sparkle to the classic design. Rebus’ signet rings, especially the ones with hand-engraved details, are infinitely compelling. Created for both men and women, each Rebus signet ring is presented in a lovely gift box with the wax impression and a stick of sealing wax for personal wax seals. | rebussignetrings.co.uk

Completing the collection are two earrings, a pendant and two rings all in yellow gold. | pippasmall.com
In the Spotlight
Brooches, it seems, are here to stay. A major red-carpet trend, brooches and pins, in a liberal splash of glamor, popped up on tuxedos this year too. Elton John and David Furnish both wore Theo Fennell’s diamond encrusted brooches to the 92nd Academy Awards; the singer had worn the same brooch to the 2020 Golden Globes. The singer-actor paired the 18k white gold, diamond and sapphire miniature rocket brooch with his purple suit, as he took home the trophy for his original contribution to his biopic’s (Rocketman) soundtrack, while an 18k white gold and diamond studded snake brooch slithered across David Furnish’s lapel. | theofennell.com
An Ode to Kalypsō
For its new high jewelry Calipso, Italian brand Sicis turns to the goddess-nymph Kalypsō and the Greek mythology for inspiration. Special Akoya light blue pearls and shining diamonds intertwine and encircle paisley-drop patterns that are decorated in micromosaic – tiny tesserae, in shades of blue and white, align harmoniously in the necklace, featuring three strands of lustrous pearls. The white gold Calipso set includes a matching pair of earrings that draw upon the drop motif of the necklace. The tesserae in varied shades of blue – from indigo to light blue – contrasted with diamond outlines bring to mind the blue sea. | sicis.com
