One of the most talked-about pieces from COUTURE last year — and I saw it then as a judge at the COUTURE Design Awards. But back then, I never actually got the chance to experience it up close. This year, I finally did.

Marie Lichtenberg’s bandana sits in that space between object and high jewellery: sage-green suede transformed with hundreds of hand-sculpted 18k gold elements, rubies, and a six-figure level of craftsmanship across specialist European ateliers.

And it’s exactly what I’ve been seeing across COUTURE 2026 — a shift away from “precious for the sake of precious.” Wood, titanium, rubber, suede… materials are no longer secondary. They are the idea.

What struck me most is its physicality. It’s surprisingly heavy, intensely tactile, and completely changes when you’re holding it rather than just seeing it.

This is what jewellery is really about right now: access, proximity, and experience. Some pieces you don’t just look at — you learn them through contact.

🌼 Alternative engagement ring alert.

For those who never saw themselves in a classic solitaire. This extraordinary ring by Sevan Biçakçi transforms the engagement ring into wearable art — a hand-carved, reverse-intaglio daisy suspended beneath crystal, framed by diamonds and crafted with the kind of detail that invites a second look.

Romantic, whimsical, and entirely unconventional, it’s a reminder that the most meaningful jewellery doesn’t always follow tradition.

Would you say yes to a daisy instead of a diamond solitaire? 🌼💍

If you’re searching for an alternative engagement ring or a truly one-of-a-kind piece, I can help source exceptional creations like this.

A Kamyen edit in COUTURE Las Vegas, focused on where fine jewellery is moving right now.

The choker is the obvious one — chokers are very much back in focus in fine jewellery. Close to the skin, collar-like, almost architectural again. It shifts the proportion completely: less ornament, more framing of the body.

The rubellite set is what brings the intensity in — especially the choker and earrings. There’s a hasli-inspired idea behind the rubellite choker, but what you notice first is the colour: that deep, saturated rubellite against the sharpness of diamond light above it, creating a constant play of contrast as it moves on the skin.

Then there are the ear climbers, which feel like the modern counterbalance. More everyday, lighter in attitude, but still very precise — the kind of piece that doesn’t demand attention immediately, but ends up defining the look.

What I like is the contrast between all of it — statement, modern fine jewellery, and wearability — all speaking the same language, just at different volumes.

If something catches your eye, I can sort it for you — just tell me what you’re drawn to.

A few snapshots from my visit to the annual Grima exhibition at Tomasso.

This is exactly the kind of jewellery world I love to step into — where I’m not just looking, but actively sourcing, noticing, and building a point of view around pieces that matter.

Andrew Grima’s work still feels radically sculptural and instinctive, and seeing it alongside Francesca and Jojo Grima adds a beautiful continuity — past, present, and evolving.

These are the spaces I explore for my own jewellery discovery and for the pieces I share and source along the way.

If you know Grima, you know. If you don’t — this is your sign to start looking closer.

Gold is no longer the only story.

One of the most interesting shifts at COUTURE 2026 has been the embrace of unexpected materials, and wood has emerged as one of the year’s most compelling luxury statements. Warm, tactile and alive, it brings an entirely different energy to fine jewellery.

Wearing Mike Joseph’s newest collection, inspired by desert dunes:

• Sculptural collar necklace in dark wood and 18k gold with diamond accents
• Matching fringe earrings with cascading gold mesh
• Multi-segment wood cuff wrapped in gold lattice and scattered diamonds
• Tapered wood cuff threaded with diamond-set gold chains
• A suite of statement rings

What I love most is the tension between materials. Deep chocolate wood against brushed gold, softness against structure, nature against precision. Nothing feels ornamental for the sake of it; every contrast has a purpose.

Wood may be the trend of 2026, but in the hands of Mike Joseph, it feels entirely timeless.

Which piece would you wear first?

My jewellery circle often asks me why I’m so deeply drawn to jewellery.

And honestly, it’s not something I can explain in one fixed way.

I’ve lived across different countries and different versions of myself, and I’ve learned that most things in life are temporary. But jewellery stays. It travels with me, holds memory, and becomes a quiet way of keeping moments alive.

This Sevan Biçakçi butterfly ring I discovered at COUTURE in Las Vegas is one of those pieces that feels like a world in itself.

Emerald micro-mosaic, a flash of yellow diamond, diamond floral architecture, and a carved butterfly suspended inside rock crystal through reverse intaglio. It’s not just a ring—it’s a miniature sculpture that shifts with every angle and every movement of light.

I’m always drawn to pieces like this because they don’t just sit on the hand. They hold presence. They hold emotion. They hold stillness.

For me, jewellery is a form of meditation. It brings me back to a feeling, a place, a moment I might otherwise drift away from.

And maybe that’s why I keep coming back to it.

Because it becomes a language for memory—one that feels very personal, but somehow universal at the same time.

What piece has stayed with you long after you first saw it? 🦋

Tag the friend who always supports your version of self-care… especially when it involves jewellery. 💎✨

I tried healing. I tried journaling. I tried being emotionally mature… Turns out my favourite coping mechanism is a new piece of jewellery.

If you know me, you know I have a slight obsession with flowers. Fresh flowers at home, flowers in perfume, flowers in jewellery… I never seem to have enough of them.

So it was inevitable that this became one of my favourite discoveries at Couture Las Vegas.

Yvonne Léon’s Vase Brooch Pendant feels like a little love letter to flower lovers. A precious vase that can be worn as a brooch or pendant and filled with gemstone flowers of your choosing. Each flower is sold separately, so your bouquet can grow and change over time—just like the flowers we collect memories around.

And because so many of you asked: the flowers fit securely into the vase, allowing you to wear your bouquet without them moving around. The craftsmanship behind such a playful idea is what makes this piece so special.

I love jewellery that invites emotion and interaction. Jewellery that doesn’t just sit in a box but tells a story, sparks curiosity and makes you smile every time you wear it.

A bouquet that never fades? That sounds rather perfect to me. 🌸💐✨

Which flower would make it into your forever bouquet?
