Resort 2025 Collection

Following the trial launch of my first metallic gold kimono the previous summer, I found myself thinking about the moments surrounding jewellery, rather than the jewellery itself.

Jewellery had always been the finishing touch, but I wanted to create the pieces that lived alongside it, soft layers thrown over swimwear, lightweight scarves carried from morning coffee to sunset drinks, shimmering wraps that caught the last light of the day... I didn't want to stop at just jewellery.

The Resort Collection became my first complete capsule designed for summer living. Metallic scarves, lightweight cover-ups and effortless accessories were created to move between poolside afternoons, garden gatherings and warm evenings abroad, each designed to complement the jewellery rather than compete with it. The colour palette drew inspiration from Portuguese summers; soft blooms, sun-faded neutrals, deep ocean blues, olive greens and warm metallic golds that reflected the changing light from sunrise to dusk..

Many of the looks were intentionally styled with pieces from my jewellery collections, reinforcing the idea that accessories should work together naturally rather than exist in separate worlds. This collection marked a turning point for my brand. It expanded beyond jewellery into a broader lifestyle, one centred around effortless dressing, thoughtful accessories and the feeling of packing light for somewhere warm.
