Old-world glamour meets haunted romance in a collection made for your most anticipated engagements
By: The Lace Ledger Staff
The invitations are arriving, the champagne is chilling and the impending holiday party season is giving us every excuse to dress extravagantly.
Don't expect your grandmother's pearls, unless Grandma had a few skeletons in her jewellery box... Here, spiders are rendered in exquisite silver and skulls find themselves in sophisticated company. Victorian mourning hands lend a sentimental touch, while Art Deco influences bring a little Jazz Age decadence to the proceedings. Every detail has been carefully considered, including those that might raise an eyebrow across the dinner table.
These are the finishing touches that become the main attraction. Each exquisitely crafted piece has a story to tell and a remarkable talent for starting conversations, with enough elaborate detail to reward a second glance. A crowded social calendar provides plenty of excuses to indulge in jewellery worthy of the occasion.
Editor’s Pick: Petals & Poison The "Baroness" Collar
An inheritance worth fighting your cousins over.
The three-strand pearl collar achieves an impressively light and feminine silhouette through Jená's expert craftsmanship. Sparkling inlays around the keyhole detail catch the light against the pearls' classic matte finish, while an adjustable length accommodates different necklines. Each pearl is individually knotted, so even in the unlikely event of a broken strand, your treasures won't scatter.
And our favourite little detail? The Baroness Collar arrives with its own certificate of authenticity, a thoughtful finishing touch that speaks to Petals & Poison's commitment to heirloom quality. Discover more about Jená's creative process in our interview HERE.
