Bespoke Jewellery Meets Luxury Motor Yachts
Our ethos when crafting exquisite bespoke jewellery, is to create an unforgettable experience whilst encapsulating the unique essence of the wearer within each custom piece. We were founded for those with a desire for distinctiveness, and we continue to combine our extensive industry experience with a commitment to impeccable craftsmanship and unrivalled personal service, to create one-of-a-kind jewellery where detail is everything.
Our meticulous attention to detail is something we have become renowned for and so we were excited to cross paths with the prestigious boat building brand Sanlorenzo, who share our passion for custom design, innovation and craftsmanship.
An exclusive brand known for crafting tailor-made motor yachts that channel the individual style and desires of their owners. The team at Sanlorenzo are masters in creating an entirely customised experience, with the bespoke interiors on its luxury motor yachts hand-crafted to perfection.
So, from bespoke jewels inspired by the ocean to bespoke jewels of the sea, let us take you on a journey to explore the pinnacle of luxury design…
The Secrets of the Deep
The allure of water is a powerful thing and its mystery and sanctuary have offered incredible inspiration to creatives throughout time – from Monet and Turner to Dickenson, Tennyson, Hemmingway and countless more. Over the years the sea has kept its hold over art in many forms, including a great deal of our bespoke jewellery designs. Whether incorporating colours and textures to remind the wearer of a picture-perfect moment, or harnessing the more abstract power of freedom, the ocean allows unbridled scope for the imagination.
Jewellery Tied to the Ocean
The above ring was created to honour our client’s survival of a difficult time and also the importance of her strong connection to the sea. According to legend, aquamarines are known as mermaid’s stones, protecting sailors from the perils of the ocean. The piece became known as the Mermaid Ring, beautifully channelling her past and present in a design that will be worn and loved for many years to come.
Channelling the essence of the wearer into a bespoke design takes a multi-faceted approach. The below bespoke pendant, created as a wedding gift, was inspired by our client’s international lifestyle. Currently based in the South of France, with the Mediterranean Sea at every turn, the piece takes note from the couple’s curated life, with influences from local architecture and of course a palette of dazzling Mediterranean colour.
For many, finding exactly the right gemstone is key to perfect custom jewellery. Our extensive connections mean we are able to scour the world for the right shade and quality of gemstone or diamond. From sourcing a rare colour-change sapphire to perfectly reflect ever shifting waters, to finding the perfect deep green tourmaline, reminiscent of family holidays off the east coast of Africa. Whether in colour or in the details of design, the sea has played an important role in many of our bespoke creations.
Luxury on the Water
With such inspirational beauty all around, Sanlorenzo extend the bespoke experience to life on the water, creating a tailor-made world that aligns perfectly with you and elevates your time at sea to the next level.
Sanlorenzo’s 57Steel Virtuosity was recently awarded the Judges Commendation at this year’s Boat International Design and Innovation Awards, the custom interior for the stunning 56.5m yacht was realised by Piero Lissoni, Art Director at Sanlorenzo.
It was the project’s curvaceous staircase which particularly caught the eye of the judges. Describing it as ‘breath-taking’ and a ‘masterpiece’, the judging panel were captivated by its beautiful architecture, noting the construction and unique use of Corian and steel.
The Beauty of Bespoke
Employing artisans of the finest calibre, from designers to craftsman, and with painstaking care taken at every stage, incredible quality is synonymous with the bespoke experience. Whether jewel or vessel, custom creation is the ultimate expression of personal style and the pinnacle of luxury living.
The beauty of bespoke is not limited to the final creation, the creative journey is equally as significant as clients work in close unity with designers, becoming part of the process. The end result is something multi-layered and extraordinary, with its own story to tell.
We are delighted to have been invited to attend the British Motor Yacht Show next week at Premier Swanwick Marina in Hampshire, where we will get to see an example of Sanlorenzo’s craftsmanship first-hand in the form of their 28-metre SL90A bespoke yacht, which was built at their base on the Ligurian coast of Italy.
