Stories of Spring Summer ‘26: Chapter One

What’s ‘in’ this season? It’s all about Allegory of Spring. We have designed a 29-piece collection that allows you to tell your own style story through our favourite tales. Bringing together fables, proverbs and genre-defining moments with laser cut acrylic, colourful gemstones, sparkling crystals and the most intricate hand-adorned details, our special edition Spring Summer 26 collection is here to make you feel like the main character.

More than just statement jewellery, each meticulously crafted future heirloom is steeped in stories and we’re here to share them with you, so you can retell them to everyone you meet.

MYTHOLOGY

Category is: Greek mythology. Gods, goddesses and every being in between, let’s journey back to BC as we explore the stories from Ancient Greece, reimagined as poignant, sculptural accessories. 

Medusa Snakes Statement Necklace Model

Medusa Statement Necklace, £365

A retelling of one of the most famous myths, a mortal priestess turned a snake-haired gorgon with a gaze that could petrify any man into stone: this bold gold and green necklace is a powerful statement against the patriarch. Reclaim the female rage of ancient stories in our Medusa Statement Necklace and unique Medusa Snakes Necklace.

Apple of Discord Necklace, £210

Picture this: this the lavish wedding of Peleus and Thetis, only one goddess is not on the guest list - Eris, the personification of discord. Her response? A golden apple thrown over the walls into the party inscribed “For the Fairest.”

Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite all lay claim to this gift, and Zeus entrusts Paris of Troy to crown the winner. Tempted by Aphrodite’s promise of Helen of Sparta, purportedly the most beautiful woman alive, Paris gives her the win. Helen’s abduction follows, and with it, the spark that ignites the Trojan War, proof that even the smallest gesture, a simple apple, can unravel empires. We’re not saying our Apple of Discord Necklace and matching, elegant fruit brooch will do the same, but they will certainly turn heads.

Pandoras Moth Necklace Model

Pandora’s Moth Necklace, £175

Wear hope on your neckline with our Pandora’s Moth Necklace: a sculptural statement accessory that steps away from minimalism to unlock the lesser-known truth of a mistranslated Greek myth.

We all know if you’re told not to do something, it’s all you want to do and Pandora was just like us. Entrusted by the gods, she was given a vessel, not a box as tales have told but an intricate, sealed jar she was told to never open. Growing curiouser, she opened the jar and out came every ill known to mortals: sorrow, disease, envy, and despair were released into the world. Trying to stop them from escaping, Pandora sealed the jar once more with just one thing remaining, hope. 

Thread of Fate Necklace, £125

A chronicle of craft that pays homage to destiny, we’re telling the story of Moirai, or the three Fates. Impactful pops of colour in a design where each element tells a story, meet Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos, a trio who govern all lives. 

A tale of a lifeline, made to be worn for a lifetime: a sculpted spool represents the start of your story, being spun into existence. A looping yellow measuring tape determines the length of your life, while poised silver scissors embody it coming to an end. Feared even by the gods, the Fates remind us that life is fragile and beyond our control - so go on, wear that colourful craft-inspired necklace, dress for joy and be yourself.

Narcissus Necklace Model

Narcissus Necklace, £105

A story of vanity, retold in a soft pastel floral necklace, that invites you to linger a little longer with your reflection. In Greek mythology, Narcissus was a hunter of exceptional beauty who had a cruel streak when it came to his many admirers. Punished by the gods for his actions, a spell was cast and he is made to fall in love with his own reflection. Unable to leave, he pined for his own visage before transforming into the flower that bears his name, the daffodil.

ART

Think painterly with SS26’s go-to array of artwork-inspired necklaces. A testament to our founder’s love of art, galleries and museums: these wearable treasures take us from the Italian Renaissance to 16th-century still-life.

Primavera Flowers Statement Necklace Model

Primavera Flowers Statement Necklace, £345

As you sit in the rainy days of an English winter, look forward to the lush growth of springtime in a delicate floral garland crafted from frosted acrylic. An optimistic occasion accessory, inspired by Italian Renaissance painter Sandro Botticelli’s Primavera, welcomes renewal and romance in 15th-century florals that capture the abundance of changing seasons. 

Thought to have been painted between 1477 to 1482, this tempera-painted panel is housed in Florence, Italy. You’ll want to pack our Primavera Statement Necklace on your next trip.

Vanitas Skulls Necklace Flatlay

Vanitas Skulls Necklace, £185

Serve 17th-century style in odes to still life paintings that are rich with symbolism. The skull is a symbol of mortality with depth and shadow that creates a striking contrast between light and dark, life and decay. Framed by a pair of vivid crimson blooms, a classic vanitas motif that reflects life’s fleeting pleasures.

Designed to tell stories we love, our intricate SS26 collection features limited edition designs that reflect their complex natures. Allegory of Spring has been handcrafted and thoughtfully designed to bring the power of prose to your jewellery box, shop the collection online and in our Covent Garden store.
