The Zebra
On clear evenings, zebras seem invisible: their distinctive striped pattern helps them vanish from view, avoiding the attention of predators. That certainly can’t be said of this suite: it’s guaranteed to draw the eye, day or night. Marquise diamonds and emeralds – not least, a 16.72 carat oval shaped emerald in the ring – are set to dazzle, with contrast provided by black enamel. Good luck evading those lions...

The Zebra Earrings
Drop earrings set with cushion shaped emeralds and marquise shaped diamonds and black enamel detail
“One of my favourites is the Zebra suite. Monochrome with a striking splash of emerald, it was inspired by the powerful imagery of zebras in their natural habitat. The green of the emerald echoes the lush backdrop captured in the photography from the trip, a nod to the landscape that brought the design to life.”

Around Africa in 10 Days
In October 2024, Boodles President Nicholas Wainwright and his niece Honour set off on an unforgettable adventure across Africa, a journey that would become the beating heart of 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 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.
