Art Deco Heaven!

I am currently in London seeing some clients and there is one arcade in Mayfair that I can't help taking a slow stroll down. That is Burlington Arcade and it must have some of the most exquisite Art Deco pieces of jewellery in the world.

Art Deco jewellery is synonymous with fine detail, incredible pave work and stunning form and proportions. It is this period which inspired me to create the Decadence Designer Engagement Ring which has been a firm favourite for many of my retail partners. Just around the corner from Burlington are the jaw dropping windows of Boodles, David Morris, Cartier and more. I found myself dropping profanities as I looked at the pieces and mainly out of disbelief in the quality and sheer size of the some of the precious stones.

If you ever have a spare half an hour and find yourself in Mayfair then go take a look - take a chair as you may need to sit down!
