After Dark | The Palace Collection
Royal Beasts inspired After Dark. Under the moonlight, carved creatures come alive and spring from their pedestals skipping throughout Hampton Court’s grounds. One ‘yale’, now free of its chain, meets another from Wolsey’s Great Gatehouse. They leap before emeralds, diamonds and sapphires. Heraldic beasts, transformed into jewelled beauties.

After Dark Pendant
Pendant featuring hand carved yales made of black onyx and white opal, set with blue sapphires, green emeralds and brilliant cut diamonds. Detachable chain allows for the pendant to be worn as a brooch
Seeing the Royal Beasts at Hampton Court, our designers imagined them coming to life after dark, once the last visitors had left the maze. Recreating the mythical yales from the Moat Bridge and Chapel Court Garden presented one of the most demanding technical challenges in Boodles’ 226-year history. Featuring carved black onyx and white opal, the creatures appear to dance through the air, with the gardens of the palace acting as a backdrop to the leaping beasts.
