Available from 20th August , the collection comprises 18k white gold earrings , pendants , lapel pins , collar bars and rings , inspired by the shape of a spiral , a motif prevalent in Tim Burton ’ s iconic films , and by two eerie Beetlejuice characters : Headworm and Sandworm . Each piece features a responsibly mined Gemfields emerald or ruby , cut to be round , oval or pear-shaped . Gemfields is a world-leading responsible miner and marketer of coloured gemstones , which strives to provide a positive impact to the country from which the gemstones originate . The fiery , vivid red gems
which feature in this collection were mined at Montepuez Ruby Mining in Mozambique , and the glowing green emeralds were mined at Kagem Mining in Zambia , both of which are majority owned and operated by Gemfields . These colourful gemstones are surrounded by round brilliantcut white diamonds . Each piece is painted with black , red or green UV enamel , the art of enamel being a craft technique synonymous with Fabergé .
These contemporary pieces can be styled alone or together as a set , with each design paying homage to a key theme or character from the upcoming “ Beetlejuice Beetlejuice ” film . The colour palette has been carefully chosen to reflect the hues in the leading characters ’ costumes .
Colleen Atwood says of the collection “ I have always considered Fabergé to be like a beautiful piece of art . My first experience with the Maison was at an exhibition of its historical pieces in a museum many years ago ; the creations I saw were so amazing , I felt inspired to dig a little deeper to learn more about the magical objects and jewels they produced . I feel honoured to be partnering with Fabergé because I have always admired their creations – I really can ’ t believe I ’ m part of something so perfectly attuned to design and craft , and it has been such fun to see it all come together .
Costume design and Fabergé go together like kindred spirits . Both are constantly changing and evolving , and each uses classic technology alongside more
