On Adorn’s annual trip to the Couture Jewellery Show in Las Vegas this year I was lucky enough to meet Richard Wu of

Struck by the poetic nature of his work, his eclectic use of materials, and his ability to translate life’s darker themes into beautiful jewellery, I began a conversation with him in a bid to learn more.

In person, and then via email, Wu and I covered topics ranging from his background as an award-winning jade carver, and his self-described ‘contemporary oriental aesthetic’, to the importance of touching clients’ feelings, and his advice to new jewellers embarking on a career in luxury jewellery.

Exciting new launch alert!

TITOLO is the brilliant new bi-annual magazine from .

Envisioned by the Maison’s Heritage and Philanthropy Department, the publication offers new perspectives on existing stories from within the Bulgari archives, explored across a range of written stories, portfolios, and original content curated from Bulgari’s Heritage Collection.

For TITOLO’s debut issue, Adorn’s Maia Adams went back to her jewellery journalism roots to pen ‘Past, Present and Future: Rome Revered As A Muse For All Time’ in which Bulgari’s Heritage Curator Director, Gislain Aucremanne, discusses the Italian capital’s role as a never-ending source of inspiration for the revered luxury powerhouse.

TITOLO has been launched to coincide with Bulgari’s 140th anniversary, and in tandem with Eternally Reborn – an exhibition that celebrates Bulgari’s connection to Rome and tells the story of this relationship through outstanding jewellery across eight curated themes.

The exhibition is currently open to the public at the Bulgari store on Via dei Condotti, Rome.

When 3D printing went mainstream around a decade ago, it marked a significant evolution toward more-eco-friendly and efficient production capabilities.

Fast-forward to the present day and the technology has surpassed its status as a tool that facilitated the in-between stages of product-making. It has, instead, spawned an aesthetic universe all its own where experimental designers are harnessing the technology to create final – often complex ­– pieces made entirely from 3D-printed polymers. Case in point – this ethereal mauve Kelp clutch from the ever-innovative

In the latest feature from our Materials Series, we delve into the wonderful (and sometimes weird) world of 3D-printed polymers and speculate on the potential they hold to boost innovation in the world of luxury jewellery.

How very delightful…

To have been invited by Kathleen Beckett to contribute to her article about the return of the armlet.

“While the statement earring is going nowhere fast, after its starring role in Zoom calls across the world for the last two years, we are looking for new ways to make a fresh jewelry statement and the upper arm bangle/cuff is a great way to do this,” wrote Maia Adams, a co-founder of Adorn, a jewelry business consultancy based in London. “It is fun and attention-grabbing, and a great way to express one’s personal style.”

The link in bio will take you to the full article where you can read about the long history of this style as well as the designers who are reimagining it for a modern audience.

At the height of the Covid lockdown, fashion-loving pharmacist Dr. Zuzana Bastian made a couple of important realisations. She wanted to look as stylish during Zoom calls as she had previously done irl, and she wanted to do so in an environmentally sensitive way.

Putting her solutions-finding skills to work, Bastian created Jevels aka “the first NFT platform bringing jewellery and fashion accessories into the metaverse”. Since launching in March last year, Jevels has become the digital denizen’s go-to marketplace for virtual designer jewellery and accessories.

Keen to find out more, Adorn’s Maia Adams caught up with Zuzana to learn about the challenges and rewards of innovating in this fast-moving sector, her vision for a future in which virtual craftsmanship is rewarded and valued, and the joys of personalising her jewellery at the click of a mouse.

We couldn’t agree more with the headline story in today.

We are so fortunate to work with innovative brands that know that investing in strategic trend services is essential to future proofing business in line with the evolving consumer.

“Forecasting is more critical today than ever before.
With all that we have experienced, it is necessary to guide businesses
along the right path into the future; considered value from a
Trend agency is imperative for the future of a brand.
How can brands identify the difference between
available information that may only last for a 'New York minute'
and future strategies that fashion professionals can use to
develop cases and scenarios for future adoption?”

Incredible interiors at 18, place Vendôme designed by Peter Marino. We love the way texture, metallics, quartz and gold and recognisable iconography synonymous with the house is integrated into the store design through fittings, furniture, lighting and sculpture.
