The METROPOLIS Collection
A collection inspired by the iconic designs of the Art Deco era.
The Art Deco era, spanned the 1920s to the 1930s, characterised by its bold geometric shapes. Emerging in the aftermath of World War I, it reflected a desire for progress, innovation, and glamour. Art Deco design is marked by symmetry, streamlined forms, often combined with rich colours and intricate patterns. This movement influenced architecture, fashion, jewellery, and decorative arts, emphasizing elegance, sophistication, and the pursuit of ornamental beauty while embracing new industrial advancements.
Throughout this era jewellery celebrated striking geometric shapes, characterised by clean lines and balanced symmetry. This departed from the whimsical Art Nouveau style, developing bold pieces featuring coloured gemstones, intricate diamond mosaics, and a prominent use of lighter metals such as white gold and platinum.
This collection artfully captures the essence of the design philosophy, skillfully blending striking geometric forms with the raw, untamed textures of sandcast elements.
The architectural hero of the collection.
A breathtaking 7.51ct London Blue Topaz, custom-faceted by master cutter Patrice Spec, sits enclosed within crisp, polished geometric bezels.
It is flanked by 0.5ct of step-set princess-cut Ocean Diamonds, with a concealed pavilion diamond set directly beneath the topaz to catch and refract light through the table.
The 14ct gold shank carries a heavy, tactile sandcast topography derived from Trevaunance Cove, Cornwall.
