Loud luxury: Saint Laurent fine jewellery

Yves Saint Laurent fine jewellery

‘Quiet luxury‘ is all the rage. Except when it’s a shouty, brassy, bike-chain-thick gold bracelet (or two) from Saint Laurent. Yes, Saint Laurent fine jewellery just launched and they want you to know about it.

None of these discreet Alhambra flowers or dainty charms for Anthony Vaccarello. It’s full pelt statement pieces in 18k yellow gold, white gold and diamonds, with a suitably high voltage campaign shot by Juergen Teller.

I’m fantasy shopping the claw ring*, gold chain necklace* and deco twist cuff* (worn over a sleeve, of course)…

Ilaria Icardi jewellery

Continuing from last week’s jewellery post, I’m enjoying this less-is-more evolution of fine jewellery courtesy of Ilaria Icardi. The idea of wearing something super-refined with a normcore bodywarmer is very high-low me and also perfect for the sporty & rich generation. (more…)

Watch out Net-a-Porter, Matchesfashion and Farfetch; Finematter is the fine jewellery site coming to steal your crown.

I first got wind of the Danish DTC jeweller (pay wall) a few weeks ago. Founded by Caroline Chalmer and Mie Ejdrup, two retail strategy veterans, with influencer Pernille Teisbæk on board as a creative advisor, it’s the clean, serene jewellery etailer for the #OldCeline set and, crucially, the woman who buys fine jewellery for herself.

Repossi Robert Mapplethorpe New York Times
