STATE OF WONDER

The Amazon’s towering trees, flooded forests and multicoloured wildlife are what inspired Emily P Wheeler’s La Selva collection, which the designer refined while daydreaming in her hometown of Los Angeles during last year’s numerous Covid-19 lockdowns. The Painted Desert earrings use carefully hand-carved petrified wood, which playfully contrasts with plump pink tourmalines that are framed by white diamonds.
