This year Paspaley, the acclaimed Australian pearling pioneer and distinguished jewellery house, celebrates 75 years in the South Sea pearling industry with the arrival of an elegant new jewellery collection, Marquise by Paspaley. Taking inspiration from the era in which the Paspaley story began, Marquise pays homage to the spectacular vintage jewellery of the 1930s, reinventing old world glamour with a sophisticated, modern edge.
At the heart of the collection a bespoke marquise-shaped tanzanite motif has been refined to Paspaley's exacting standards, transforming the classic marquise shape into a sleek modern form. The combination of the rare blue-hued tanzanite encased in pavé set diamonds, with the sensual beauty of South Sea pearls imbues the collection with an alluring and romantic colour palette that brings a touch of old world glamour into the modern day.
The striking marquise motif together with delicate filigree detailing plays out in intricate, vintage-inspired pieces from the one-of-a-kind Marquise colliers and exquisite chandelier earrings, through to simpler creations with a more sleek, modern spirit. The striking interplay of tanzanite, diamonds and Paspaley pearls in Marquise results in a collection full of drama and romance, with divine modern creations that are enduringly beautiful.
Marquise has been created with Paspaley's pearl-first design philosophy, with each piece designed to hero the unique beauty of the South Sea pearl. Paspaley's master jeweller, Jurgen Kammler, describes his inspiration, "The creation of Marquise was an amazing journey, which took as its start point the alluring mystique of the pearl and the genesis of the Paspaley legend in the 1930s. The designs deconstruct the essence of vintage jewellery, to reveal a very modern collection with timeless appeal."
Nicholas Paspaley AC, Executive Chairman of Paspaley, said: "We're immensely proud of our heritage as pioneers in the South Sea pearling industry and equally proud to mark our 75 year history with this striking collection."
Paspaley's Marquise collection is now available at its exclusive boutiques in Mall of the Emirates, The Dubai Mall, The Atlantis, The Palm Jumeirah and Abu Dhabi Mall.
