‘Tis the season for festive cheer and Christmas parties. And with this celebratory time of year comes the usual scramble to find the perfect outfit that hits a tuneful note between fashionable and festive fun. This year, give yourself the gift of Flair and Gala, two collections from Peonia Diamond, which are set to make you the shining star underneath the mistletoe.
The jewels in the Flair and Gala collections are exquisite, and the star is the Peonia Diamond. This special diamond is inspired by the peony flower and created to exceed the expectations of even the most discerning customers by being more beautiful, brilliant and radiant than other diamonds.
The Peonia Diamond Flair collection focuses on the Peonia Diamond itself by creating a modern round disc setting that’s inspired by the blooming peony flower, which is then surrounded by pavéset diamonds. Composed of a pendant, necklace and stud and drop earrings, along with a bangle, bracelet and ring, the collection is created with 18K rose gold and allows you to pick a style and size that fits whatever soirée you’re attending, be it casual fireside drinks or a lavish Christmas ball.
The Gala collection, meanwhile, features a dazzling Peonia Diamond in bright 18K white gold resting at the centre of a fourprong setting, surrounded by eight brilliant round diamonds. These come in drop earrings, necklace, pendant and ring—a trio of designs that look particularly glamorous when worn together with an elegant gown.
Small diamonds frame the larger stones, adding an extra twinkle to this intricate silhouette. There is a simplicity to the design which recreates the languid movement of music—ideal for anyone attending a festive event with a live band—and which is particularly dazzling when it hits the light and rests next to heavy winter materials. Little black dress in velvet, anyone?
So that’s your Christmas party outfit arranged, thanks to these creations from Peonia Diamond. Make sure you shine like a star this festive season in jewellery that adds sparkle and a touch of class to any Yuletide bash.
