JEWL OF THE AISLE London-based jewellery brand Loveness Lee has introduced the new Mushroom Collection, an 18-piece jewellery adventure with texture-filled designs paired with the largest combination of lab-grown gemstones the brand has ever created – it’s perfect for boho or rustic-themed weddings. Inspired by the beauty within, owner Loveness foraged an array of curious-looking wild mushrooms from the forest floor while on her morning run. After bringing them back to her OXO Tower studio, she plucked underneath each pillow-like shell to uncover intricate patterns and forms. Working closely with her team, she used their signature wax casting technique to capture the textures, then formulated how each casting could be transformed into wearable art using her unique eye for design. Luxury gemstones were added to extenuate each texture, including cushion-cut blue sapphires, octagon-cut green emeralds and brilliant-cut moissanites. The collection highlights include signet-style rings like never seen before, signature choker necklaces and the Eryngii necklace with handcrafted link-like textures.
