TURKISH DELIGHT
Melis Goral is the jewellery brand for those looking to expand their collection with something less expected. Hailing from Istanbul, and readily available online at Moda Operandi and the brand’s website (melisgoral. com), the seven-year-old label offers strong lines and geometric forms that take delight in coloured stone play. The Vibe range of rings, for instance, pairs engraved coral, malachite, turquoise, lapis lazuli or pearl with baguette-cut diamonds for a pop of colour that’s bursting with textures.
Jaeger-LeCoultre invites you on a journey across the starry night sky with its Rendez-Vous Dazzling Moon Lazura timepiece. Melding the rich blue of lapis lazuli with the gleaming purity of mother-of-pearl and sparkling diamonds (of which there are 190, totalling 3.53 carats), this timepiece retells the tale of celestial romance with a large moon-phase display at the 6 o’clock position. Also gracing its star chart dial is the collection’s signature emblem, a discreet hand-polished star that can be adjusted to mark a special rendezvous by turning a second crown found on the caseband.
