Here's a new feature on Romy and Sofie: the Cabinet of Curiosities, where we introduce a few of our favourite things. Whether it'll be a montly, weekly, daily feature is unclear at the moment but keep posted.
Because Romy never goes out without jewelry... even when she barely has time to get dressed up after inevitably oversleeping in the morning. Most of her favourite baubles are family heirloom, but that doesn't stop her from lusting after some shiny new things (especially those she can't afford, unless she decides accessories take precedence over food).
So here are Romy's favourite jewelers:
Wright & Teague (Mayfair, London)
There's something very clean and sleek about their aesthetic, which is really refreshing, but at the same time very romantic and modernly quaint. The Medea Hera necklace alone is worth everything. The Of Golden Sands ring is also magnificent, inscribed with a quote from the poeme Come Live With Me and Be My Love by John Donne. But my favourite is the Pegasus ring, adorned with the winged horse of Greek mythology. It's also my favourite constellation. Oh and rest assured people, their diamonds are conflict free.
Pamela Love (NYC)
Those are definitely statement making, and maybe a bit of an acquired taste. Wild nature at its best. They don't do discreet that well, although work perfectly with both demure and scruffy attire. It's probably not something I would wear to meet the in-laws for the first time, but then again, maybe it is. The collection is raw and real, with a definite touch of natural sc
iences. Whimsical fusing with science: now that's something I can relate to.
Me & Ro
Amazing jewelry with a social conscience. What else can we ask? The symbolism of Me & Ro is what first attracted me to their jewelry. There's something to be said about wearing a protective prayer doubling up as a delicate bangle wrapped around your wrist. And if spiritual enlightenment isn't something you're into, well at least you've got wickledly cool jewelry. Real conversation opener.
Temple St. Clair
The Rock Crystal Amulet and Celestial collections are the most lavishly, opulently decadent thing ever. If it were a dessert, it'd be a double cream, triple chocolate, caramel frosting cake. Rich and bad for the (financial) health. But oh, so worth it. There's a bit of a magical and mystical flair about it, which appeal to my dreamer side (arguably my predominant side).
Zani Gugelmann
Simply beautiful. The intricate details are just astonishing. Elegantly opulent.
So... whoever wants to get into my good graces... take a hint.
Oh my god...these are brilliant and definitely remind me of the gaping hole in my wardrobe that is my jewelry drawer.
