Sustainable Statement Jewellery for the Festive Season
EVERYONE KNOWS THAT THE BEST CHRISTMAS GIFTS COME IN THE SMALLEST BOXES. FOR THIS HOLIDAY EDITORIAL, WE DROVE TO UPSTATE NEW YORK TO SHOOT WITH THE TALENTED STILL-LIFE PHOTOGRAPHER EVAN D’ARPINO. YOU’LL FIND A MIX OF STATEMENT PIECES AND DELICATE DESIGNS FROM SOME OF OUR EDITOR’S FAVOURITE SUSTAINABLE JEWELLERY BRANDS CAPTURED AGAINST SILK VELVET BACKGROUNDS. WE MADE IT OUR MISSION TO FIND A VELVET THAT IS NOT MADE OUT OF POLYESTER, RAYON OR VISCOSE AND GOT LUCKY AT INTERIOR ATELIER BEAUMONT & FLETCHER. ALL THEIR VELVET IS MADE FROM 100% SILK, LIKE IN THE OLDEN DAYS WHEN IT WAS A FABRIC ONLY AVAILABLE TO KINGS AND QUEENS. WE HOPE THIS SUSTAINABLE JEWELLERY EDITORIAL WILL GET YOU IN THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT AND MAYBE INSPIRE SOME GIFT IDEAS FOR LOVED ONES.
