LIFE’S RICH

TAPESTRY In celebration of its 220th anniversary, Boodles has created ‘Tapestry’, a new fine jewellery collection

F

ounded in 1798, Boodles is that rarest of creatures: a brand with centuries of brilliant craft heritage, while at the same time always fresh as spring blossom.

Quintessentially British, it’s one of the only remaining family-owned jewellers on London’s Bond Street. Timeless, and yet utterly modern.

The ‘Tapestry’ collection has been created to celebrate Boodles’ 220th anniversary, and is available as a limited-edition collection throughout this year. Like a tapestry, the designs weave together elements of the company’s enduring design aesthetic spanning across decades, particularly from its ‘icon’ collections: Raindance, Roulette, Blossom and Maymay.

Shapes and motifs from each can be referenced within the evocative Tapestry suite. The inclusion of pink diamonds and rose-gold references Boodles’ pale pink brand colour, which is an integral part of the brand DNA.

“We have clients who own pieces from all of our di erent icon collections, says head of design Rebecca Hawkins. “These pieces act as a way of pulling them all together, taking inspiration from each, and combining them to create one suite.

Boodles is known for the quality of its precious gemstones, and the skill of its creations. Thanks to an inspirational team of in-house designers, the company’s visionary philosophy continues to champion exemplary British craftsmanship, over two centuries after its founding. here’s always an e ortless sense of grace, discretion and fun about Boodles, which fans say you simply won’t find elsewhere. Perhaps that’s because it recognises – and expresses in its byword – that behind each stone there’s ‘always a story’. Tapestry ties together an illustrious brand history, a tradition of exemplary design, and a bright and sparkling future to create this e clusive fine jewellery collection. ■ Boodles 178 New Bond Street, London W1S 4RH +44 (0)20 7437 5050 www.boodles.com CAPITAL CULTURE / 33
