1. Decorated Gugelhupf ring
Platinum with ebony, diamond, ruby and blue sapphire: there are only bold rings for me – ebony with gems shifts attention from my hands to drama. I am fascinated by wood with stones.
2. Transition earrings
Platinum with pink spinel and grey sapphire: these are classical yet unexpected – rigorous in line, playful in pink. They seduce me into wearing earrings again.

3. Triple C&C necklace
Citrine and silex jasper, with 18k yellow-gold clasp: citrine is liquid sunshine, its luminous gold complements my skin and clothes, radiating warmth and vibrant energy.
4. Tetris brooch with jabot pin
18k champagne gold with smoky quartz and aquamarine: I love holding dresses and jackets together with brooches. Smoky quartz with aquamarine is a quietly stunning pairing.

5. Sorbet ring
18k rose gold with peach and purple Edison pearls: the colour clash of these gems is delicious – I’m thrilled to see these unusual pearls.
6. B&B earrings
18k yellow gold with Palmeira citrine and orange zircon: flattering and vibrant, they light up the face. Rigour keeps them timeless, never old-fashioned.
