The new range in the Mandala bracelet collection by Italian jeweller Pasquale Bruni takes its inspiration from the full moon and features exquisite pieces with accents from the Orient. Mandala is a creation with a meditative feel, emerging from a central feature, which is the lotus flower. The key piece in the collection is the rigid bracelet with shiny stones on one side and the maison's signature inlay on the other. This is usually hidden behind gemstones but in this case is unmasked to create a secret garden of flower buds made of tiny openwork hearts.

Luxury British watch brand Bremont will display its much anticipated Boeing collection. The new line is the result of extensive access to the aerospace company’s material and manufacturing technology and the watches exclusively use Boeing materials that have never before been incorporated in watch manufacture.

BOUCHERON 

The precise beauty of Japanese masterpieces has provided a continual source of inspiration for Boucheron’s creations, as seen in the Vague tiara, designed in 1910 and modelled on Hokusai’s famous Wave woodblock print.
