Jewellery is much more than just beautiful chains and gemstones. It is an expression of love, adoration and happiness and at the same time a gift that will stand the test of time, not only because of its elegance but also because of the emotions it encapsulates. When your loved one achieves success, celebrates an important holiday or simply deserves a little joy, jewellery is the perfect way to celebrate. But how do you find jewellery that not only impresses with its beauty, but also has real value and deep meaning?

Find the Perfect Gift for Different Occasions

The choice of jewellery should depend on the occasion for which it is intended. Every holiday and every moment has its own unique character, which is worth considering when choosing the perfect gift.

Birthday: a celebration of individuality

Birthdays are the perfect occasion to highlight the individuality of the person being gifted. When choosing jewellery for the occasion, pay attention to the quality and durability of the chosen product. A birthday gift should not only be impressive, but also last for many years to remind you of this special day.

For younger women, colourful bracelets with pendants or trendy earring sets will be a great choice. For older people, on the other hand, consider classic watches, gemstone pendants or delicate earrings that will add elegance to any outfit. Birthstone jewellery is a particularly thoughtful gift that shows the choice was made with that particular person in mind.

Anniversaries: Celebrating Love and Commitment

Anniversaries are moments that deserve special gestures. For occasions such as your engagement or wedding date, choose a gift that is as timeless as your love. Eternity rings and gemstone pendants perfectly capture this sentimental value.

Such jewellery is not only stunning in its classic beauty, but is also made to be worn for many years. Materials of the highest quality, including those sourced in harmony with nature, emphasise the attention to detail and the value you place on your relationship. Personalisation, such as favourite stones or engravings, adds even more meaning to the jewellery, making it a unique symbol of your love.

Holidays: Sharing the Joy

Holidays such as Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day are times to combine elegance with a sentimental touch. Yellow gold is a timeless choice that suits every person and occasion. Whether you choose a necklace, ring, bracelet or earrings, gold jewellery is sure to bring joy and make your loved one feel special.

Yellow gold is a precious material that expresses devotion and elegance. When choosing gold jewellery, you can opt for something simple, like diamond earrings, or more sophisticated, like a gold watch or bracelet. Such a gift will not only be a beautiful decoration, but also a lasting keepsake that will last for years.

How do you choose jewellery to match your style and personality?

When choosing jewellery, it is worth considering the lifestyle and preferences of the person you want to gift. If she is an active person, opt for something durable and versatile that she can wear every day. A gold bracelet or simple earrings are great choices for any occasion.

When looking through her jewellery collection, take note of what she wears most often and what materials she prefers. If she is a gold lover, a beautiful gold pendant or bangle is sure to make her happy. By choosing jewellery that complements her current collections, you show that you appreciate her taste and want her to be happy.

Budget: how do you buy in jewellery?

It is important to buy in quality jewellery. Instead of opting for quantity, go for quality and choose something that will really impress. Investing in jewellery from a reputable manufacturer, finding something in a specialist boutique or vintage shop can be a hit. The more thought you give to your jewellery selection, the more special your gift will be.

How to Present the Gift?

The final, but extremely important step, is how you present the jewellery. Try to make it a memorable surprise. A beautiful box, a hand-written note and a carefully wrapped gift will make the moment unforgettable.

When You’re Not Sure of Her Preferences

If you’re not sure what to choose, you can always go for the classics. A watch, gold earrings or a delicate necklace are gifts that go with everything and will always look stylish. Such safe choices are a guarantee of a successful gift that will bring joy for years to come.

Choosing jewellery for your beloved can be a challenge, but with the right approach and consideration of her style and the occasion for which you are buying the gift, you are sure to find something that will make her heart beat faster. Jewellery is more than an accessory – it is a symbol of love, adoration and remembrance.

Orient Star introduces the M34 F8 Date, the new flagship timepiece from the M34 Contemporary Collection. With a unique dial design inspired by the Perseid meteor shower from the Pereus constellation, and a state-of-the-art high-performance movement mounted with a silicon escapement wheel, the flagship M34 F8 Date sets a new path for Orient Star.

Two models are available, a white dial model, which is limited to 160 pieces, and a blue dial model, which will join the brand’s core collection. The white dial features a hand-carved pattern depicting the Perseid meteor shower, while the dial on the regular model is further enhanced with a blue color, representing the night sky.

This captivating color scheme was achieved thanks to Epson’s optical multilayer technology, which creates a color toning effect on the metal plate. The optical multilayer film controls the reflection and transmission of light through multiple layers of nano-thin transparent film to create an effect that would not be possible with ordinary lacquer.

Like the dial color, the new M34 F8 Date mechanism is also equipped with advanced technology. The automatic mechanical caliber F8N64 is mounted with a silicon escapement wheel, which has become one of Orient Star’s signature technologies since it first appeared in the 2021 Skeleton model to celebrate the brand’s 70th anniversary. It offers high accuracy and a 60-hour walk reserve.

The timepieces will be available throughout Europe, priced between 2,500 and 2,700 euros. For more information, visit Orient-watch.com.

Breitling, the esteemed watch manufacturer always associated with reliability, elegance and excellence, has launched its latest capsule collection, which draws inspiration from the picturesque Scottish hills. In this unique series, featuring crisp earth tones and chic tweed fabric, Breitling invites brand lovers to embark on a unique adventure by the coast and into the misty mountains.

Breitling is a company known for its innovative designs and top-quality watches. One of the brand’s first models was the SuperOcean Dive from the 1950s, created for stylish sea adventure lovers. Now, the latest Superocean Heritage ’57 Highlands Capsule Collection invites us to explore the coast and Scotland’s mystical peaks.

“Each of our capsule collections tells a different story. In the case of the Superocean Heritage ’57 Highlands Capsule Collection, we wanted to evoke the very concrete mood of a walk in the hills,” said Georges Kern, CEO of Breitling. “From the moment you set off in a tweed coat and wool jumper, to a day spent on windy cliffs, to returning to your warm home by the fire with your dog by your side. The Highlands collection is designed to accompany you every step of the way.”

The capsule collection is a limited number of pieces available for a limited time. Each watch has a 38mm diameter and unique dial colours that reference the land and sea, such as beige, green, mustard and blue. Like their predecessors, the watches feature triangular-shaped indexes, reminiscent of 1950s design.

One of the distinct Scottish-inspired details is the tweed-inspired strap, made from a luxurious combination of silk and wool. All watches are sold with a metal bracelet and the fabric straps are supplied separately, along with a tool to replace them.

Each strap, referring to the colour of the dial, is subtly mottled: the blue version is set against a dark brown strap, the beige dial against a classic brown strap, and both the green and mustard dials against a green strap. A separate blue strap is also available for those who like to change their style.

The watches feature stainless steel cases and ceramic bezels that are scratch- and shock-resistant, surrounded by 18 k red gold. In addition, there is a luminescent spot on the rotating bezel, harking back to Superocean’s roots as a dive watch.

Each watch in the collection is powered by the Breitling Caliber 10 movement, which provides a power reserve of approximately 42 hours when not in use. Like all Breitling watches, they are certified by the COSC (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronom?tres), an independent confirmation of their precision and performance.

Breitling is not only a brand, it is also a lifestyle. So whether you’re strolling along the rocky coast of Scotland or taking refuge in a country inn for tea, the Superocean Heritage ’57 Highlands Capsule Collection will give you not only style, but also an unforgettable story to tell.

It is also worth mentioning that Breitling watches are always popular and sought after by collectors around the world. This means that investing in this exclusive collection is not only buying a watch, but also investing in a work of art and a brand that has been at the forefront of the watchmaking industry for years.

All in all, if you are a lover of elegance, luxury and reliability, then the Superocean Heritage ’57 Highlands Capsule Collection from Breitling is for you. Take part in this unique journey through Scotland without leaving home, wearing a watch that is both functional and extremely stylish. Don’t miss this opportunity to add this exclusive watch to your collection today!

Choosing the perfect luxury engagement ring is a journey fraught with decisions. Whether you revel in the joint experience of shopping together or entrust your significant other with this important task, the myriad of choices and styles can make the process equal parts enjoyable, yet equal parts challenging! After all, an engagement ring is not just any piece of jewellery; it’s a symbol of your unique love story.

Before you start flicking through those catalogues and reading up on the 4 Cs, take a moment to sit back and discover the latest trends and styles that are set to dominate over the next year. From custom creations that narrate your love tale to eco-conscious choices that align with modern values, these trends are set to redefine the engagement ring landscape.

Boldness & Adventure

While traditional rings still hold their allure, the rise of bolder and more adventurous styles has become noticeable this year and that trend is set to continue as we head into 2024. Whether it’s a distinctive setting or a non-traditional choice of gemstone, this choice is all about making a statement and expressing individuality.

Geometric designs and asymmetrical arrangements are taking centre stage in the celeb world, exemplified by Rooney Mara’s distinct engagement ring (partner to Joaquin Phoenix). Breaking away from the traditional round or cushion cuts, Mara’s ring boasts a striking hexagon shape that captures attention and symbolises a departure from the expected.

Similarly, Ariana Grande’s engagement ring feature a mesmerising switch position design. Her oval-cut diamond is not conventionally cantered but boldly set at an angle on the right side of the band. Adding an extra touch of sophistication, a lustrous pearl graces this unique masterpiece, creating a ring that embodies both adventure and timeless elegance.

Embracing Colour

In another celebration of individuality, and a vivid expression of the diverse emotions that love encompasses, more and more soon-to-be-brides are opting for colourful engagement rings.

This trend has its roots in the pandemic era when jewellery with an emphasis on mood-boosting elements became increasingly popular. In 2023, it seems this influence has woven its way into the world of luxury engagement rings, with coloured gems more sought after than ever before.

Whether it be the subtle tones of green sapphires, the mysterious allure of grey diamonds, or the calming embrace of aquamarine, the focus has shifted from the traditional emphasis on cuts to a newfound appreciation for the spectrum of colours and different gemstones available.

Custom Engagement Rings

In 2023, and as we move into next year, it’s clear that couples are transitioning away from mass produced designs and embracing the opportunity to create something truly unique. Custom pieces offer a one-of-a-kind expression of love that goes beyond the ordinary and reflects the individual tastes of the wearer.

For those considering a custom ring, luxury makers Meaden Master Jewellers suggest that the key lies in finding a highly skilled specialist that can breathe life into your vision. “Engagement rings are not just products; they are works of art and should be meticulously handcrafted with a blend of passion and skill”.

“With engagement rings from Meaden Master Jewellers, we aim to create something that perfectly aligns with your personal aesthetic and the story you wish to tell.”

Likewise, jeweller Thelma West concurs and suggests that it’s not about one particular metal or gemstone, it’s more about the “style and character of the wearer.”

Ethical Elegance: Eco Conscious Engagement Rings

In a world increasingly attuned to environmental concerns, there’s been a noticeable shift in engagement ring trends towards ethical elegance. The conscious consumer is not merely seeking a beautiful piece of jewellery; they are on a quest for a ring that resonates with sustainability and ethical sourcing.

As Kinraden jewellers founder Sarah Müllertz aptly puts it, sustainable and eco-friendly engagement rings are “no longer a novelty, but something of high value and importance to our customers which [is] only set to continue in the years to come.”

Lab-grown diamonds, in particular, have emerged as a popular choice, offering a sustainable alternative to traditionally mined stones. The eco-conscious mindset extends beyond the choice of stones to encompass the entire manufacturing process, ensuring that each ring leaves a minimal ecological footprint.

Gender-Neutral Engagement Rings

Breaking away from traditional norms, gender-neutral engagement rings are making waves in the luxury engagement ring world. Celebrities like Bella Hadid, Dua Lipa, and Kylie Jenner have been at the forefront of this trend, showcasing chunkier bands traditionally associated with men’s engagement rings. This shift represents a move towards inclusivity and a celebration of diverse expressions of love.

Platinum: A Dazzling Choice

Platinum, with its timeless lustre, is emerging as a preferred metal for engagement rings. Particularly appealing to those who historically favour silver jewellery, platinum enhances the sparkle of precious gemstones. Its durability and low maintenance requirements make it a practical yet luxurious choice for those seeking enduring elegance in their engagement rings.

Want to know the quickest way to look luxe? Well, the secret can be found in wearing statement jewellery. By dialling up the details with your jewellery, you’ll be able to take simple outfits to stylish new heights! We often think of statement jewellery as lavish and loud but it can be just as eye-catching in more muted tones with elegant embellishments that make maximum impact. Whether you’re a fan of wearing statement necklaces or statement earrings, here are just some ways that you can make an eye-catching, standout look, with statement jewellery pieces.

How to wear statement necklaces

Necklaces are a common jewellery piece for women to wear, and can be worn in a variety of styles and metals. If you’re heading out on a date or to a prestigious evening event, a statement necklace can help create a focal point, and talking point, for your look.

Daytime delights

For a simple everyday outfit, you can create a more polished look with a statement necklace. If you favour classic white shirts and cashmere jumpers, a chunky statement necklace can be the main feature of your otherwise toned-down look. Fancy adding a modern edge to your outfit? Statement necklaces in silver, rose gold, or gold, can pair great with plain t-shirts and leather jackets. Since you’re looking for a daytime look, just ensure that your bold necklace isn’t too ‘out there’ as that is best saved for evening looks.

Dress-to-impress evenings

Wear a statement necklace in the evening and you can keep everything else simple. A bare décolletage is the perfect canvas for making an impact with silver statement jewellery. For a whimsical winter look, try a black satin slip dress with pearls or a selection of colourful gemstones. When wearing a dress, you might want to consider the type of neckline you’re wearing and how you can best wear the ideal chain length for the type of style you’re wearing. Recently, Anne Hathaway has been leaving the internet speechless with her impressive style choices in 2022. At the Elle Women in Hollywood 2022 celebration earlier this year, she certainly dressed to impress in a shimmering Ralph Lauren floor-length gown. Hair down, the focus was on her large Bulgari necklace which was the perfect eye-catching piece for the red carpet event.

Key outfit inspiration:

Do: keep your outfit fuss-free and your colours neutral.
Don’t: pair statement necklaces with frills or ruffles.

How to wear statement rings

Another way to dress up any type of outfit is by making a statement with the rings on your fingers. Just like with other jewellery, rings come in a range of metals, styles, and designs. You could opt for wearing several eye-catching ring designs, or just a couple of large statement rings in all. Sometimes less is more when it comes down to selecting how many rings to wear.

Stylish stacks

Delicate on their own and sensational when layered, stacking rings are the modern way to make a stylish jewellery statement. There are no rules when it comes to stacking; choose complementary metal colours, opt for flowery designs, or discover which minimalist styles you like best. To make a statement with your rings, you could pair delicate simple rings with a couple of bigger more bold ones here and there. You could choose rings with gemstones which match your outfit colour or even get a large ring in a contrasting stand-out colour.

After-dark statement jewellery

For nighttime looks you can really play with the proportions of your rings. If you’re looking for a big statement look for your fingers, there are even rings large enough that all you need is one to wear. Their large design is enough to make a statement on your hand. Especially if you’re out for a cocktail evening, you’ll have a glass in your hand all night – so it’s the perfect opportunity to show your new rings off. Rich jewel shades make the perfect rings, such as with gemstones like emerald, garnet, and iolite. Shades like these can also pair well with a sparkling festive outfit during the Christmas season.

Key outfit inspiration:

Do: get a manicure, because all eyes will be on your hands.
Don’t: wear a statement bracelet at the same time, it will only detract from your rings.

How to wear statement earrings

If you like to wear accessories which are eye-catching, then a great way to do this is by pairing statement earrings with your chosen outfit. When talking to people, your earrings will be right in their eye line so you can easily create a talking point with large statement jewellery. Although minimalism is appreciated by many in fashion, Summer 2022 was the season for maximalist jewellery. Fashion iconics like Rihanna, Bella Hadid, Amal Clooney were photographed earlier this year wearing statement earrings which sparkled next to their outfits. Each ensured that they didn’t pair their big earrings with necklaces, as this would overcrowd their look and take away from the statement they were making with their earrings.

Low-key luxury

Combine comfy outfits with statement earrings for effortlessly cool fashion that requires no thinking. A striking pair of earrings work wonders with a simple ponytail or messy bun. Looking for a cool-girl edge? Look for statement earrings which are in creative and eye-catching shapes, like moons, stars, and hearts. Large earrings, even in the simplest designs, can capture people’s attention around you. While silver drop earrings can be small and delicate, ones featuring amethyst, opal, and peridot gemstones can give you that low-key look, yet also grab others attention too with their beautiful colours.

Nighttime glam

The key to wearing statement jewellery is to first choose where you want the focus of attention to be. Select your ears as the main focus and you’re in for a treat with everything from dazzling colours to stunning diamonds. Plunging necklines suit supersized hoops, while updo hairstyles with gorgeous dresses suit thread and drop earrings. If your chosen statement jewellery piece is your earrings, you might also want to consider toning down the rest of your jewellery so that it doesn’t clash.

Key outfit inspiration:

Do: wear your hair half up/half down or all the way up.
Don’t: wear statement earrings and a statement necklace together.

A reference in the world of luxury, Cartier, whose name is synonymous with open-mindedness and curiosity, stands out with its creations and reveals beauty wherever it may lie. Creativity, freedom, sharing and excellence are all central to its values.

Cartier’s jewellery is beloved by one and all and is by far one of the most sought-after luxury brands in the world. Their creations of jewellery, high jewellery, watchmaking, fragrances, leather goods and accessories symbolise the convergence between exceptional craftsmanship and savoir-faire and a timeless signature – a symbol of elegance, beauty and grace.

The Maison was founded in Paris in 1847 by master Louis-François Cartier. When just a few years later, Princess Mathilde, cousin of Emperor Napoleon III, bought a Cartier creation for the first time, the Maison was launched into Parisian high society and the international elite of the time. In 1898 Louis Carter, grandson of the founder, joined the Maison and played a pivotal role in the evolution of the Cartier brand, opening Cartier’s iconic boutique on rue de la Paix just a year later.

One of Louis’ brothers, Pierre Cartier, opened a Cartier boutique in London at 4 Burlington Street, coinciding with the coronation of King Edward VII in 1902. Just two years later, Cartier received its first royal certificate, which was granted by the court of the King. Cartier then became the official purveyor of numerous royal courts, namely that of Spain, Siam (today Thailand), Russia and many others. Cartier was thus dubbed the “King of Jewellers, Jeweller of Kings”.

Today, Cartier is known for the craftsmanship of its exquisite wristwatches. Indeed, it was back in 1904 that Louis Cartier designed the first modern wristwatch, which was designed to be worn on the wrist for his friend, Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont. After complaining about the difficulties of removing his hands from the plane’s control to check his pocket watch when flying, his dear friend Louis decided to help out by designing a watch for his wrist, and it was at that moment that the iconic Santos wristwatch was born.

In 1909, Pierre Cartier travelled across the Atlantic and opened a Cartier boutique in New York on the city’s prestigious Fifth Avenue.

Since then and throughout the Maison’s history, discovering, drawing inspiration from differences and being enriched by cultures have been at the heart of Cartier’s actions. Cartier has evolved through welcoming visionaries and free spirits into the Maison. And today, this pioneering spirit is more alive than ever.

Cartier is not afraid to break the mould. From its Love Bracelet to Juste un Clou and Tank or Santos watches, the Maison creates powerful aesthetics and icons that feel loyal to their origins yet have timeless appeal. The everyday is special; the ordinary becomes precious.

There is excellence in everything, and the search for perfection goes beyond what meets the eye. At Cartier, everything starts with a stone. Jewellers and designers work to bring out the sublime aura of each stone, to enhance its beauty through the design, the most precious materials and the Cartier vision.

Today, Cartier is part of the Richemont Group and has a worldwide presence in 60 countries through its network of flagships and boutiques, authorised retail partners as well as online.

Since it’s the onset of Autumn, it’s time you finally say goodbye to shorts and tank tops and say hello to the new and classic fall fashion trends. Whether you want to keep it electrifying with glitzy sparkles and full leather or go minimal with jumpsuits and oversized blazers, the season is a boon for fashion enthusiasts.

While most of the outfits must have found their way into your wardrobes already, there are some styling trends you just can’t skip.

Here, we’ve shared seven stylists recommended fashion trends that fashionistas must wear this fall.

Oversized Blazers, Always

A good blazer is a timeless piece to invest in! And it has to be the most chic option for ‘clean girl aesthetic’ trends. With the stunning weather shift every fall, pairing oversized blazers with different dresses can elevate any look and give the perfect definition to your body.

And if you are enthusiastic about customized pieces, you should get your blazers from brands that make designer dresses for women. These brands are made-to-order and can create the look of your dreams!

To complete your look with a blazer, you can either wear sneakers (the crazy trend) or wear high heels.

Power Suits, A Bossy Look After all

Though the trend of sweat suits was nearly gone last year, power suits are returning to the limelight. Besides, the trend is pretty easy to hop onto. Women have been wearing power suits since the 70s, and let’s say these will remain forever classic. Not only do power suits make you exhibit classy and bossy vibes, but it also boosts your confidence.

Moreover, you can pair these in different styles. You can wear fitted suits, oversized suits, printed or plain, or go for solid colors.

Co-ord Sets, More Transitional Outfits

If you follow fashion bloggers on Instagram, you will know co-ord sets are popular in fashion circles. Now that autumn season has hit, you will see an influx of linen two-pieces – of every variety – making a place in our closets.

Pants Never Go Out of Style

There was a time when wide-leg pants were crazily followed in the 80- 90s, and now it seems the trend is coming back. Whether you want to pair them with a simple white tea or keep it minimal with a cashmere sweater and check blazer, pants are the refreshing style your wardrobe has been craving!

With the emerging new brands, you get to shop for pants in different styles, including two-toned color denim, ankle-length, flared pants, and so much more.

Let’s Wrap Up

With the onset of every season, fashion enthusiasts get pumped up to explore new designs and shop their favorite pieces. Now that the fall is finally here, hop onto these amazing fashion trends and create your best looks!

Andy Hogg, Founder and Managing Director of The Bushcamp Company, conceived the idea of the Ele Collection and shepherded it from concept to reality. Elephants are a big part of Mfuwe Lodge’s life; each year elephants come through Reception to get to the wild mango tree in the courtyard, and honoring and protecting these gentle giants has always been near and dear to Andy’s heart.

The ELE Collection is born out of a commitment to protect elephants and wildlife while sustainably supporting local communities, and at the same time giving those who purchase the jewelry a lasting keepsake.

It began with Andy seeing a 2-dimensional elephant pendant and thinking that someone should design a 3-dimensional one. He started making some sketches about what he wanted and took the concept to a South African jewelry designer to make a prototype. Andy refined the concept, and the Ele Collection was born!

The collection has grown over the years. It began with silver ele pendants, in 3 sizes, with diamond or emerald eyes. The jewelry collection has now expanded to include gold pendants. There are also earrings and bracelets, both bangle and cuff. We can also make items to order (white gold, rose gold, sapphire eyes, etc.).

These products are unique to The Bushcamp Company. The collection is well-made, good value, and perfect for both casual and formal occasions. The large pendants are roughly 23 g of gold or sterling silver.

The collection has now extended beyond jewelry. We have a line of clothing, including t-shirts and caps, and also keychains – all utilizing the Ele Collection design.

We sell the products at our curio shop at Mfuwe Lodge and are also able to ship to customers around the world. The jewelry has been bought by customers all over the world – Europe, the US, the UK.

The heart of the project is the fact that the sales raise funds for elephant conservation in South Luangwa National Park and for The Bushcamp Company’s own Commit to Clean Water programme.

For many years, The Bushcamp Company has supported Conservation South Luangwa, a local NGO that engages in anti-snaring and anti-poaching patrols and activities, amongst other activities, throughout South Luangwa National Park. The Ele Collection has enabled us to continue and enhance this support.

The Commit to Clean Water programme focuses on drilling boreholes (deepwater wells) in local communities. Since the inception of the programme, we have drilled nearly 200 boreholes, each providing fresh drinking water to nearly 300 people per day. These boreholes have had a significant impact on the daily lives of the users: they no longer have to travel great distances to rivers and streams, often encountering hippos and elephants along the way and crocodiles at the river itself. They no longer have to endanger their health by drinking unsafe river water; the boreholes are deep enough to ensure clean potable water and to be drought-resistant. In addition, having this access to water means that children are able to stay in school, and are not sent to gather water for the family.

The Bushcamp Company works very closely with the local headmen and Chiefs regarding the placement of the boreholes so that there is local support and “buy-in,” leading to better long-term care and maintenance of the boreholes.
So when a piece from the Ele Collection is purchased, the purchaser knows that not only do they now own a bespoke piece from the Ele Collection, they are helping the wildlife and the people of the Luangwa Valley!
