In the heart of London's world-renowned Harley Street, a revolution in bespoke luxury is quietly unfolding. Clare Chambers, a visionary jeweller with a background in high fashion at Whistles, is captivating an elite clientele by offering something truly unique: exquisite jewellery pieces intricately crafted to contain the very essence of the wearer.
Chambers's innovative process begins not with a sketchpad, but with a DNA sample. Clients provide a simple cheek swab, from which Chambers extracts their unique genetic code. This code is then transformed into a stunning, one-of-a-kind pattern, which is meticulously laser-etched onto discs of precious metals like gold or silver.
These DNA-etched discs become the centrepiece of her elegant collections, which include everything from delicate pendants and sleek rings to timeless cufflinks. Each piece tells a deeply personal story, making it far more than an accessory; it's a wearable heirloom, a conversation piece, and a profound connection to one's own identity.
From Fashion to Genetic Artistry
Chambers's journey from fashion director to DNA jeweller is as unique as her creations. Her time at Whistles honed her eye for design and detail, but she sought a deeper, more meaningful connection with her work. The concept of embedding something as personal as DNA into her designs was the perfect fusion of science and art, resulting in what she describes as the "ultimate personalisation."
The Ultimate Personal Gift
The appeal of Chambers's work extends beyond self-purchase. Her DNA jewellery has become the gift of choice for those seeking to express an unbreakable bond. Parents commemorating the birth of a child, couples celebrating their union, or families honouring a loved one can all find profound meaning in a piece that literally carries a part of them.
Operating from her Harley Street studio, Clare Chambers represents a new wave of British craftsmanship, where cutting-edge science meets timeless luxury, creating treasures that are as unique as the individuals who wear them.
