Otiumberg

Otiumberg is another demi-fine favourite that uses recycled raw materials and sustainable production in its popular pieces.

Made in collaboration with Australian fashion brand Camilla and Marc, this cuff is formed from repurposed 18kt gold vermeil and sculpted to appear as two separate hoops: one of which is studded with white topaz stones.

Disrupting the traditional world of fine jewellery, Kimaï works exclusively with lab-grown diamonds, which the design duo set into 18kt recycled gold to create new pieces from old materials. The results, however, are thoroughly modern: this ear cuff is shaped like a love-heart and set with pavé that will glimmer under lights.

Tiffany & Co

Tiffany & Co

A statement take on the ear cuff, Tiffany’s 18kt rose-gold design is cleverly engineered to appear as three separate cuffs neatly stacked atop one another. With round-cut diamond pavé illuminating the three monogram details (totalling 0.3 ct) it’s one that’s sure to steal focus.
