Jewellery That Gets Under The Skin

06 September 2010

It's not about piercings! It's just that great jewellery means more than what the eye sees. That's why it wasn't surprising when news broke in 2010 that archaeologists had uncovered Neanderthal jewellery, pre-dating homo-sapiens arrival on earth by 10,000 years. It's proof that jewellery has always been intensely important to societies and to individuals. It confers status and marks respect.

It's certainly not about piercings! It's just that great jewellery means more than what the eye sees. That's why it wasn't surprising when news broke in 2010 that archaeologists had uncovered Neanderthal jewellery, pre-dating homo-sapiens arrival on earth by 10,000 years. It's proff that that jewellery has always been intensely important to societies and to individuals. It confers status and marks respect.

 

So our devotion to jewellery is not surprising. It is the most intimate gift that can be given between friends, family, partners, lovers. It's a way of saying things that many of us hesitate to put into words. That's at the heart of our philosophy.

 

If a gift is intimate, it must be personal. The relationship between two individuals is unique. Any symbol of that relationship should also be unique. That is why we believe that the care taken to design and make the piece should honour the intimacy of the personal relationship.
