Get ready for Blue Diamonds
WHERE: The Connaught Hotel Champagne Bar
WHO: Fashion editors and journalists from Vogue, The Financial Times, Harper's Bazaar, Grazia, Marie Claire, PORTER, Sunday Times Style and The Guardian for a start.
Have you ever heard of a denim diamond? We thought not. For AW15 we have developed something entirely new and decidedly blue. Our unique blue diamonds form the crux of our new season collections. Sourced by our creative director Lorna Watson these diamonds have been paired with decadent yellow gold to create some truly statement diamond jewellery.

The theme for our AW15 press day was the Aura. The aura is a charm from our Icon collection which is represented by a series of concentric circles. An aura may be an intangible thing, but we have achieved the impossible and interpreted our aura in diamond splendour. To celebrate this silhouette (and of course our new blue diamonds) we commissioned a neon light sculpture from artist Joanna Peyton Jones. It’s subtle blue light infected the Champagne Bar with an ethereal glow and just a touch of mystery.
A rather colourful affair, it was not simply blue diamonds that took centre stage, London’s press were also delighted by the emeralds, rubies and sapphires used in our new Fine Biography bracelets. In fact, the only thing that did not delight was having to wait for the new collections to arrive but, c'est la vie.
