The Kilimanjaro
Mount Kilimanjaro. At 5,895 metres, it’s the very highest point in Tanzania, and in all of Africa – so it demands an exceptional stone to represent it. The hexagonal cut tanzanite you see before you weighs over 33 carats: that’s probably enough to notice it’s there in your backpack. If you do decide to trek up mount ‘Kili’, you’ll reach the twin summits
of Mawenzi and Kibo. Up there, the surface looks like a lunar landscape. You can love this piece to the moon.

Around Africa in 10 Days
In October 2024, Boodles President Nicholas Wainwright and his niece Honour set off on an unforgettable adventure within Africa, a journey that would go on to inspire our latest High Jewellery collection. From boarding the Blue Train in South Africa to soaring over the Maasai Mara in a hot air balloon, they travelled in search of extraordinary gemstones, design inspiration and a little Boodles magic. Along the way, they met craftspeople, visited communities that are supported by our charity partner Just a Drop, and immersed themselves in the colours, culture and wildlife of this remarkable continent. Join us as we retrace their footsteps and discover the stories behind the jewels.
