Quiet gold
Eighteen karat does not need to announce itself. It needs to be worn.
Sterling that stays
Silver is not a lesser metal. It is a different light.
The bench
Jewellery that only exists on a screen tends to look like it. We keep a bench.
How to wear a signet
A signet is not a costume. It is a weight on one finger.
Chains for the collarbone
Sixteen inches is a decision. Eighteen is another.
Hoops that do not costume
A hoop is a circle. The rest is proportion.
Pearls without the occasion
A pearl strand is allowed out on a Wednesday.
The tennis line
A line of stones should read as a line, not a firework.
Cuffs and the shirt
A cuff should clear a cufflink and still mean something.
Men’s gold without the anchor
A man does not need a pendant the size of a door knocker.
Ladies’ pieces for the hand
Rings that survive a commute and a kitchen.
Nine karat and eighteen
Both are gold. They behave differently.
White gold is not silver
They sit in the same light. They are not cousins.
Rose gold in London light
Pink metal is not a trend if the alloy is honest.
Caring for gold at home
A bowl, a cloth, a little patience.
Silver and the cloth
Tarnish is chemistry, not failure.
Choosing a first piece
Start with something you will not take off.
Gifts that are not a surprise size
Rings as gifts require intelligence. Chains forgive you.
Stones we will name honestly
If it is glass, we will not call it a diamond.
Hallmarks and what they say
A tiny stamp is a long sentence.
Layering without noise
Two chains. Different gauges. Same metal.
The everyday band
A band is the most honest ring in the tray.
Charms as a record
A bracelet can be a year, not a costume.
Earrings for long days
If it hurts by lunch, it is the wrong pair.
Winter metal
Knitwear and gold can be friends if the profile is low.
Summer skin and salt
The sea is allowed. Chlorine is not a friend.
For a man who says he does not wear jewellery
He already does. A watch is jewellery that tells the time.
What we will not write
No healing. No investment. No other house’s name.
A note on returns
Fourteen days. Unworn. The law is not a loophole.
How the catalog is made
House pieces and a licensed feed, rewritten in one voice.
