For decades, the collection has taken the transformative nature of snakes and their ability to shed their skin and so renew their power as a design cue. This captivating Serpenti 18kt rose-gold pendant necklace is masterfully set with dazzling pavé diamonds and mesmerising rubellite eyes. It blends superior craftsmanship with magnificent wearability.

Geraldine Fenn

These gold-and-emerald earrings featuring the image of a crane were created by Joburg-based contemporary jewellery designer Geraldine Fenn. She made them by taking a wax impression of an old metal pin, casting the wax in gold, and setting emeralds into the studs. She says, “I like that it looks like they have just beendug up in a field somewhere in rural England. That’s the goal with all my pieces using impressions in wax — I want them to feel like they have a real history of being in the world.”POA, tinselgallery.com
