Austen & Blake has launched its Era collection, a range of luxury jewellery designed to be fully customisable, allowing shoppers to personalise pieces for a unique Christmas gift. The collection is made-to-order, with customers able to select diamond specifications, precious metals, and diamond cuts and shapes.
Designed with Antique Inspiration
The Era collection is designed in-house, drawing inspiration from antiques and traditional techniques. Every piece is made-to-order, and buyers can choose between lab-grown and natural diamonds, as well as selecting the metal and diamond cut to create a modern heirloom that is entirely their own.
Fashion writer Heidi Quill, who describes herself as fussy when shopping, notes that brands are increasingly catering to a desire for customisation. She has selected her favourite pieces from the collection, including an engagement ring, earrings, and a necklace, as a failsafe idea for Christmas gifting.
Standout Pieces for Personalisation
One highlight is the 18K Yellow Gold Oval Solitaire Engagement Ring, which allows customers to choose diamond clarity, size, cut, and carat. The setting features cathedral shoulders that lift the diamond and an open basket to reveal its shine, while also allowing for a flush fit with a wedding band.
Another option is the 9K Yellow Gold Emerald Drop Earrings, designed to capture and reflect light with movement. These earrings offer customisation of the earring backing and ten different precious metal options, alongside the other Era collection customisations.
A Necklace for Every Taste
The 9K Yellow Gold Round Solitaire Pendant features a bezel setting with four talon claws and hangs from a chain of the buyer's choice, in a metal of their choice. Quill suggests a princess-cut, lab-grown diamond in yellow gold on a curb chain as a personal preference.
