Tatler Jewellery
The most famous jewellery collectors of all time, and the best “toi et moi” rings to buy now
BENEATH THE SANDS
Combining intricate craftsmanship with unusual design, these shape-shifting rings by Italian jeweller Annamaria Cammilli are made in the brand’s various coloured golds. Surprisingly light, these oversized Velaa Pavé Series rings are stunningly sculptural and are now available at Masterpiece by King Fook.
GOING ONCE
A dazzling art deco Cartier bangle mounted with a stunning 63.66-carat D-colour, pear-shaped, internally flawless diamond has been sold by Sotheby’s Hong Kong for about US$6 million. The house sold the calibré-cut rock crystal-set creation during an auction at which 62 per cent of the bidders participated online.
BOMB SQUAD
Suzanne Kalan’s sparklers are revered the world over for their design, style and workmanship, as well as the jeweller’s penchant for baguette-cut diamonds. Now, Kalan has launched her first-ever black sapphire-set collection, which is largely gender-neutral and defined by her signature Fireworks setting, which groups gemstones together into sparkling explosions.
DINNER PARTY
British-born, Hong Kongbased jewellery designer Tayma Page Allies knows perfectly well how to create mesmerising pieces that burst with colour. We particularly love the designer’s vibrant Dim Sum necklace, which features a wide range of handselected gems, including peridot and fire opal with accents of diamonds.
FROZEN IN TIME
The De Beers Group produces over 30 million carats of rough diamonds every year, which gives the house’s craftspeople plenty to play with. This year, for its 39-piece high jewellery collection, Reflections of Nature, the jeweller has championed a variety of rough and polished stones in different palettes including red, orange and yellow; and grey, green and blue. Five suites have been inspired by countries in which De Beers diamonds are mined; the Ellesmere Treasure suite, in particular, boasts a stunning simplicity. Inspired by Canada’s northernmost island, symmetrical motifs reminiscent of snowflakes are carefully arranged using white diamonds.
TURQUOISE TREASURE
Thinking about investing in some contemporary fine jewellery? You’ll be hard-pressed to find anything better than what’s coming out of Italy. Temple St Clair seamlessly combines classical Florentine craftsmanship with a modernity that is oh-so-pleasing to the eye.
THINK PINK
Mikimoto honours the extravagance and elegance of pearls, with a playful and contemporary twist. This season, the brand adds an artistic selection of pink gold pendants, earrings and rings to its Cherry Blossom line, which is defined by plump Japanese Akoya cultured pearls.
COSMIC ENERGY
Each Jemma Wynne piece is handcrafted in New York City with thoughtful design in mind, and the unevenness of these zodiac-themed pendants illustrates the brand's unique take on subtle gold shapes. Would you wear yours with or without diamonds?
Panthers first became a pervasive presence in western art and design in the early 20th century, but the animal’s most famous association has arguably been with the storied house of Cartier. A diamond- and onyx-mounted bracelet watch depicting a panther’s markings was debuted by the maison in 1914, and the creature has since gone on to star in the jeweller’s numerous Panthère for Cartier creations. This collection is the embodiment of independent women, so it comes as little surprise that British actress Annabelle Wallis, who shot to fame as Grace Burgess in Peaky Blinders, has been photographed wearing numerous pieces from the iconic line.
