Water Jewels
Barbara Harris of the stunning Kensington jewellery shop Water Jewels tells us what pretty stones will brighten up a crisp autumn day.
This season at Water Jewels the catwalk comes to life with amazing sculptural pieces which enhance the latest trends, with dramatic colour combinations of persimmon and black and rich jewel shades to brighten up the autumn as the days grow longer. Strands of vivid pink, natural watermelon tourmalines, fading to shimmering Tahitian pearls, clasp around the neck to perfectly finish this moment’s strapless little black dress. Toffee slices of amber create a dramatic ruffle at the neck when worn over the new high neck maxi dress or skin tight turtle necked sweater.
The Gallery exhibits within its walls all the contrasts of the season, from chunky silhouette pieces with unique style to delicate floral creations from a magical garden. Dazzling rainbows of precious stones, skilfully sculpted by hand, embrace the wearer with their essential energy. Long sautoirs in onyx and amethyst dramatise the trend for the ultimate impact. Filled with exquisite wearable art, the striking beauty of the Water Jewels collection is unadulterated fashion fantasy and the perfect Christmas gift.
The other collections in our Gallery also reflect the time of year. Parisian knitwear artist Sophie Digard's handmade scarves and kid-leather gloves are in natural tones re-embroidered and crocheted with soft flowers and Jerome Gruet's evening clutches gleam in bronze and platinum leather fastened with silver sea-inspired clasps.
