With this year’s Met Gala theme placing fashion firmly within the realm of art, Fibres of Meaning arrives as a timely reflection of that dialogue. Our collaboration with Claudia Alarcón marks a rare and significant convergence between high jewellery and fine art, bringing together centuries-old Wíchi weaving traditions with contemporary jewellery craftsmanship.

Alarcón’s practice carries cultural narratives that span generations. Her work has been recognised internationally, from the Venice Biennale to major institutional collections, positioning her as one of the most important voices in contemporary textile art today.

This is a rare moment in which high jewellery does not simply reference art, but becomes a site for it. By encasing her weavings within high jewellery for the first time, Fibres of Meaning creates a new category of object, where textile, sculpture, and jewellery exist as one.

A moment from last year’s Met Gala, when Ava DuVernay () stepped onto the red carpet in Allison Quaid high jewellery.

A look rooted in memory and meaning, DuVernay’s appearance paid tribute to her great-grandmother Annie Fisher, carrying a story of heritage, dignity, and continuity across generations. Paired with custom Prada, the jewels became part of a wider narrative, where craftsmanship meets personal history.

A powerful reminder that the most enduring statements in jewellery are not only about brilliance, but about what they carry with them.

For World Book Day, the Gatsby Necklace brings The Great Gatsby into the language of high jewellery, marking a century since its publication and the birth of Art Deco.

Centred on a vivid step-cut emerald, the design echoes Gatsby’s green light, a symbol of longing and ambition, while over 3 carats of emerald- and Asscher-cut diamonds form a precise, geometric composition.

Hidden within the chain, diamonds spell G-A-T-S-B-Y in Morse code, a subtle narrative detail that bridges literature and craftsmanship. Rooted in Allison Quaid’s 1920s origins, the piece reflects a defining moment in design history, reimagined as a contemporary jewel that honours both story and legacy.

A portrait of Earth in jewels 🌍

These earrings echo the delicate balance of our planet. The deep blues of oceans, the vivid greens of vegetation, and the brilliance of light reflected across its surface.

Diamonds, emeralds and sapphires draw on rhythms of nature, from budding forms to flowing landscapes, translating the living world into a language of precious stones.

A reminder that even in its smallest details, Earth remains extraordinary.

The Large Diamond Bee draws on a symbol long associated with community, resilience, and creation. As architects of collective labour and guardians of natural cycles, bees have long embodied harmony, endurance, and the power of shared purpose.

A signature food, reimagined as a jewel.

Created to commemorate the founding of Miss Kim (Miss Kim) the Lotus Chip Pendant transforms one of the brand’s most iconic foods - the lotus root bugak - into a lasting piece of jewellery. Selected alongside the founder, the original lotus chip was 3D scanned and cast in 18k white gold, preserving its organic form with remarkable precision.

Set with 2.11 carats of colorless diamonds, this bespoke piece captures the intersection of memory, craftsmanship, and identity, where a fleeting culinary moment is rendered permanent, and deeply personal.

Claudia Alarcón’s weavings emerge from the ancestral practice of handweaving fibres spun from the Chaguar plant and dyed with their natural pigments. Passed down through generations, this tradition carries centuries of cultural knowledge.

The Resplendor Pendant honours Alarcón’s weaving Resplendor (Radiance), created with magenta, yellow, and black threads that reference Wíchi cosmology and its connection to light. Diamonds set like a constellation echo the belief that Wíchi women descend from the stars along threads they weave, while the warmth of yellow gold reflects the radiance of the textile itself.
