[LINK IN BIO: Boucheron - Modernizing the Maharaja [LINK IN BIO: Boucheron - Modernizing the Maharaja's Jewels] When @boucheron released their New Maharajas collection earlier this year, the jewellery industry universally called it a triumph. A reflection on Boucheron’s largest and most important commission, created for the Maharajah of Patiala in 1928, it was modern, forward-thinking, and undoubtedly one of the best archive collections ever conceived. 
 .
While it’s nothing new for established houses to take a dive into their archives for inspiration, not all have received such high recognition for their work. So what sets Boucheron’s collection apart from others, and what does it really take to create the ultimate archive-inspired jewel?

I’m swooning today over this incredible ring cre I’m swooning today over this incredible ring created by @maddinjewellery for @tackleboxtreasure!! Working together, I think they knocked it out of the park to not only showcase this antique diamond to the max, but also keep it fresh and contemporary.
.
Focussed on an incredible, and extraordinarily rare, 2.59 carat antique Peruzzi-cut diamond, it’s something we are unlikely to ever see again! @tackleboxtreasure shared her search for the perfect engagement stone with me a few times, an arduous task to say the least, so I’m thrilled to see she ended up with a jewel which is truly worthy of fulfilling her dream✨

I've found there's always something incredibly str I've found there's always something incredibly striking about a pearl tassel crafted by @jarjewelry. Undoubtedly one of my favourite elements used in his creations, there's something different about the way he curates his pearls.
.
I believe it comes down to an uncompromising degree of patience. Colour, shape, lustre, purity of nacre, and graduation, are just a few of the many elements one would have to take into account when creating the perfect tassel.
.
These elements are challenging enough when working with cultured pearl - but the word cultured does not exist in JAR's vocabulary, only natural will do. Thus, adding yet another layer of complexity to this already arduous task.
.
Undoubtedly taking years to assemble I think these tassels are a secret message to us all: when in pursuit of perfection, patience and time will be the keys to your success.

The Tiffany World Fair necklace seems to be the ta The Tiffany World Fair necklace seems to be the talk of Instagram today! But is this $28 Million jewel all it's shined up to be?
.
Creating an archive jewel, or inspired collection is difficult. You not only need the resources, but there's also a need to balance the past with modern relevance to ensure the contemporary piece is aspired for today. I think this is what's missing from the recreation, where is its relevance to what's happening culturally today? It appears to be a replicated jewel that's been taken out of its own context and placed in foreign times.
.
I believe more could've been done with a jewel such as this...after all, I can't be the only one who thinks the glorious 80-carat centre stone is lost in a sea of lesser stones. Perhaps refining the design to make it a touch more delicate, modern and wearable would've done the trick? But I think overall the original had an Aquamarine set centrally for a reason - because this design needed a pop of colour to stand out.
.
Granted, Tiffany has "reimagined" the concept of the necklace by replacing the centre stone, and this stone can, if you like, be set into a ring. However, are these minor changes and novelties enough to draw in a collector? Or was it even created to be purchased in the first place? But, if it's a PR piece, why wouldn't they push the boundaries of design a bit more? As always, more questions than answers.
.
Let me know your thoughts...

I've been wondering lately, will NFT tech work its I've been wondering lately, will NFT tech work its way into the jewellery industry, should it even happen, and if yes, what role will it take? 
.
The jewellery and watch industries (generally speaking) are rooted in tradition, and while individuals express themselves creatively within this sphere, I can't help but feel these practices, and the objects they produce, remain such a tangible experience.
.
So, is @bulgari new timepiece the answer to our question?
.
Last week Bulgari released the world's thinnest watch, toppling Piaget's 2020 Altiplano Ultimate 900p by 0.02mm to measure in at just 1.8mm. However, its new "reigning champ" title (the 8th they've held in the past decade) isn't the only thing this watch is boasting about. Limited to just 10 units, each wristwatch conspicuously features a QR code on the dial, which links the user (or owner) to a unique NFT tethered to the timepiece.
.
It's a very curious concept, blending the physical with the digital. By acquiring this watch, you seemingly gain ownership of property in two worlds. But, is this future? Priced at 400,000 USD, it won't be accessible or broadly adopted/shared so I don't think that's the point. 
.
So what do I believe the point of this watch is? Well:
.
Jewellery and watch-making experimentation? Definitely. New ideas are always exciting to see! A unique means of authentication? Perhaps. The future of NFTs in the jewellery industry? I guess we will have to wait and see.
.
What are your thoughts?

[PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT] Dear friends, please do not [PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT] Dear friends, please do not take this message personally as it was by no means an easy or rash decision and I mean no offence. 
.
Have you ever felt the struggle of shouting in a loud room while searching for your friends? This is how I currently feel about my Instagram day-to-day; Overwhelmed by content, not able to see my friends and those who inspire me, and slowly loosing my voice while trying to do it all. As a result, I’ve come to the conclusion that I need to take an untraditional approach to my relationship with this platform.
.
I have decided to slowly unfollow all accounts. This will allow me to become more in tune with my voice, be more proactive in reaching out to colleagues, actively research/write ideas, and build meaningful partnerships - all without distraction. 
.
I want to be posting and writing proactively for you, not reactively; and this is the means of doing so.
.
To clarify: I will still be posting. I will still be checking in on all of your pages and re-sharing your content. I will still be supporting all of the amazing artists and journalists on here. I just need a quiet room to do it in.
.
A few have reached out in both concern and offence in my unfollowing of them (hence me making this public.) To those who’ve reached out in concern I say, “thank you for your concern. I’m doing really well, I just need to focus and will be keeping in touch.” To those I’ve offended, I’m sorry. I hope you can understand my current mindset and re-gain your support/remain friends.
.
I appreciate all of the love and support you guys have gifted me since day one. You have helped me shape and grow a career I never thought was even possible; and for that I say, “thank you! I couldn’t have done it without you!”
.
I’m excited to start this new chapter and see how I further develop my voice and discover where it leads me .
.
With highest regards, respect and gratitude,
.
