Inspired by India, the British jewelry designer Theodora Warre shares her collection with us.
Theodora Warre established her eponymous label in 2014, but jewelry design has always been within her makeup, being the great-granddaughter of the former crown jeweler, Harry Garrard.
Based in London (she has a studio in West London), she regularly visits Jaipur, and it’s evident that India is a great source of inspiration to this designer. After all, she worked at the Gem Palace there and took a gemmology course to learn the trade.
And so, Warre uses her magic to turn colorful precious and semi-precious stones into modern keepsakes. Think gold that’s stylishly combined with diamonds, rubies, pink sapphires, emeralds and amethysts. Well, sign us up.
Cornerstones of craftsmanship, vibrancy and then, of course, there’s a touch of the bohème which are at the heart of the brand. And it is this that attracts the buyers, the fashion crowd and the girls about town including the likes of Kate Moss, Adwoa Aboah, and Jean Campbell. Join the girl gang and shop pieces on Theodora’s website.
