Demi-fine jewellery brand Monica Vinader has launched a new collection to celebrate the craftsmanship, featuring two gemstones and one is frequently worn by Princess Kate. The Odyssey Part Two is a capsule lineup with green onyx and aquamarine designs.<\/p>\n
Royal fans will know the Siren Wire Earring in Green Onyx<\/a>, \u00a3128, is Kate Middleton’s “favourite hand cut gemstone earrings” and she was seen wearing them during her Canada tour with Prince William, then on a visit to the Chelsea Flower Show and again in a video chat with Sir Andy Murray in 2020.<\/p>\n The new Odyssey collection features an Odyssey Wire Earrings<\/a> in Green Onyx or Aquamarine with 18k Gold Vermeil, \u00a3138, an upgrade from the Siren design in a slightly abstract shape.<\/p>\n While 90% of jewellery demand comes from women, discriminatory gender barriers still limit opportunities in gemstone cutting and polishing. This collection builds on Monica Vinader\u2019s partnership with Zimbaqua, Africa\u2019s first all-female-run and managed gemstone mine, and forges a new path in empowering women within the brand\u2019s supply chain at every stage.<\/p>\n The Odyssey Gemstone Open Ring in Green Onyx<\/a>, \u00a3150, is another fun accessory to draw people’s attention as the hand-cut gemstones are faceted to catch the light. Missoma’s Hot Rox Gemstone Stacking Ring<\/a>, \u00a3145, is a minimalistic approach if you are not a fan of statement jewellery.<\/p>\n Bangles and cuffs are popular summer jewellery that we’ve seen holidaymakers wearing them to the beach or stacking up with other bracelets for a 90s wrist stack look. The Odyssey Gemstone Open Cuff<\/a>, \u00a3298, or the Odyssey Gemstone Pebbled Chain Bracelet<\/a>, \u00a3178, are ideal to nail the look.\u00a0<\/p>\n I have own a few peices from Monica Vinader and my oldest piece started to tarnish and turned to a bronze colour due to wear and tear. Monica Vinader, however, offers replating service and noted: “If you notice your vermeil jewellery losing its colour over time, we’re happy to re-plate it for you.”<\/p>\n If you like green onyx or a May baby, Edge of Ember does a range of birthstone jewellery and this Deco Green Onyx May Birthstone Necklace<\/a>, \u00a3125, makes it a perfect birthday gift. The emerald-cut birthstone pendant also features an 18k gold-plated recycled silver inspired by an era of opulence.<\/p>\n
