June 2022 – British fine jeweller Robinson Pelham is preparing to announce a major milestone for 2022: 25 years in business. The brand, founded by three powerhouse female partners, Vanessa Chilton, Zoe Benyon and Kate Pelham Burn, is known for its spirited collection of ultra-wearable and beautifully crafted ready-to-wear fine jewellery, as well as its Couture and Revamp creations designed for VIP clients and jewellery collectors in the know.
The 25th anniversary festivities kick off this month as Robinson Pelham launches several new collections as well as updated colourways and iterations of its best-selling classics. Robinson Pelham will continue the celebrations at its flagship boutique, located on Chelsea’s Elystan Street, with more exciting developments to follow throughout the year.
Some of the brand’s most iconic moments in history include dressing HRH The Duchess of Cambridge and her sister, Pippa Middleton, in Robinson Pelham jewels for their respective weddings, as well as Gwyneth Paltrow making the brand’s iconic Identity gold chain link necklace the star of her neck mess (the multi-hyphenate celebrity is also a fan of the River bracelet). Also noteworthy are fans in Jodie Comer, Saoirse Ronan, Ellie Goulding, Katherine Ryan, Poppy Delevingne and Melanie Brown of The Spice Girls.
The team has been working for nearly a year on research and development of its new collections to honour the milestone, creating a range of new product that tells the Robinson Pelham story.
New Collections
Entwined rings are a limited-edition capsule set featuring two beautiful, geometric rings with overlapping surrounds, one in carre diamonds with rainbow sapphires, and the other in carre diamonds and gold, with a central elongated hexagon diamondcenter stone. The surrounds are not the afterthought, they are the main event, and symbolise a union of two – inspiration was sourced following a bespoke engagement design. Prices start from £14,500.
Labyrinth focuses on a journey of positivity, for those starting out in life and aiming high, and also for those who want to celebrate reaching a significant goal in life.
The collection of rings and pendants feature a physical maze whose path and central point is depicted in gemstones. Shapes include hexagon, round and heart, with accents of diamonds, pink sapphires and tsavorites. The rings are curved for maximum comfort and can be worn on the forefinger amongst others; the pendants are flat and sized to be worn between 15-inch and 24-inch. Each piece is engraved with “Find Your Way”, with the ring or pendant acting as a talisman or a guide to help you achieve this. Prices start from £3,770.
Love Is All Around encapsulates Robinson Pelham’s belief that jewellery is all about meaning; hidden or obvious, taken to the literal edge. Its first iteration, “I Love You” is translated as Eye Love U, marquise (eye shaped) heart (love) half-moon (U shaped). Pieces will be made in diamond as well as the brand’s iconic rainbow colouration, and in sizing small and large. Prices start from £4,770.
Zouk takes inspiration from the shapes of round acoustic sound waves and means an exuberant style of Caribbean music with a fast beat. The concentric earrings come in two sizes and can be worn with a central plain or stone set stud or earrings from the Stud Club collection to make them yet another versatile jewel from Robinson Pelham. Available in diamond and yellow gold and also rainbow. Prices start from £3,840.
Zoe Benyon, Director of Robinson Pelham, says:
“We are in a particularly celebratory mood, emerging from the pandemic where jewellery became a way of sending love to absent friends and family. We are excited and proud to be celebrating 25 years of hard work, passion and endless creativity. This milestone is a major one – Kate, Vanessa and I started off as three young women making only bespoke jewels in a small salon privé, and today we operate our flagship store in London, work as part of an amazing team and have a presence in six countries around the world and rising. It was only natural that we would turn to jewellery to honour the occasion, and we cannot wait to reveal our bold, colourful and celebratory new collections.”
