ZAMBIAN EMERALDS EXUDE HOLLYWOOD GLAMOUR IN ĀZLEE X GEMFIELDS ORIGINS COLLECTION
Gemfields has teamed up with Los Angeles-based jewellery label ĀZLEE to create Origins, an eight-piece capsule collection inspired by the landscape of Zambia and its world-renowned emeralds.
Comprising rings, necklaces, pendant charms and earrings, all featuring responsibly mined gems from Gemfields’ Kagem mine, this brand-new collaboration is like a love letter to these iconic green jewels, which are forever synonymous with the sense of hope and renewal associated with spring.
Gemfields is a world-leading responsible miner and marketer of coloured gemstones and the majority-owner and operator of both Kagem in Zambia( thought to be the world’ s largest producing emerald mine) and the Montepuez ruby mine in Mozambique. Gemfields strives to be a leader within the industry and aims to bring benefit to the gemstones’ places of origin: mining with transparency, legitimacy and integrity and funding initiatives to improve local community health, education and livelihoods.
Founded by Baylee Zwart in 2015, ĀZLEE takes its inspiration from ancient jewellery practices, Art Deco architecture and the natural world to form a singular design vision. Mindful of adhering to responsible practices and minimising its environmental impact, ĀZLEE creates timeless, high-quality jewellery infused with nature and a sense of 1980s glamour. Versatile and modern, ĀZLEE designs have been worn by Emma Watson, Rihanna, Bella and Gigi Hadid, Zoë Kravitz and Scarlett Johansson.
