JEWEL TONE Words: Annabel Harrison
Pole Position The Portuguese word for ‘connecting rod’ isn’t the most obvious name for a jewellery collection but for Ara Vartanian, also a car collector, ‘Biela’ made perfect sense. All of the collection’s emeralds, rubellites and Paraiba tourmalines are from Conscious Mining mines. aravartanian.com
Time to Shine Concealed within hundreds of diamonds is a diamond-andsapphire-set watch face; this spectacular octagonal timepiece can be worn on the wrist, as a brooch, or as a pendant, taking its name – Ultimate Emerald Signature – from the central emerald-cut sapphire (Mr. Harry Winston’s preferred shape).
Making Waves To mark 20 years of its Pastello designs, Bucherer Fine Jewellery presents Ocean Breeze Pastello, featuring pale blue sapphires to reflect the serenity of water. This collection is available in Bucherer’s new Covent Garden flagship store.
