Around Africa in 10 Days is the result… a collection inspired by the colours, people, wildlife and landscapes we encountered along the way: from majestic lions in the Mara to the deep blue tones of the Tanzanian skies. Some of the stones were purchased during our travels, including the Ashokas in the Victoria Falls rings and a 34 carat tsavorite from Tanzania. We have also set many of the pieces in Single Mine Origin gold from the Sabodala-Massawa Mine in Senegal, ensuring fully traceable, responsibly sourced gold at scale, from the mine into our showrooms. Highlights of the collection include an elephant necklace featuring a 26 carat pear shape morganite and ten white agates that were each carved by hand. Both the pendant and the morganite are detachable, meaning the necklace can be worn three different ways… a versatility we are seeking to offer more and more in our jewellery. There is a zebra collar set with a 3.35 carat Colombian emerald and over 1,000 diamonds, amongst black enamel. My personal favourite is the Zambezi bangle set with an oval 3.03 carat tsavorite overlaid with delicate dark enamel shard, and surrounded by carved mother of pearl – the vivid green of the tsavorite catches the light just like the alligator’s eye we witnessed peeking out from the river did. There are forty-four pieces in total in the collection – each one full of colour, full of character, and full of memories of a very special trip.
