Robinson Pelham: Vibrant Gemstones Take Center Stage
Showcasing vibrant and unique jewels, each piece embodies a celebration of joy through playful and exquisite craftsmanship. These creations blend innovation with tradition, offering a spectrum of colors that captivate and enchant.
Jewelry traditionally oscillates between the solemn elegance and playful whimsy, but what happens when a collection merges both with a lively charm? This is precisely where Robinson Pelham shines, blending exquisite materials with vibrant colors and innovative designs that enhance both casual wear and formal attire. This distinctive style is the result of the collaborative vision of its three founders, Vanessa Chilton, Zoe Benyon, and Kate Pelham Burn. Their combined efforts have produced a captivating range of ready-to-wear collections, ear stacks, bespoke pieces, and lively cocktail rings, all designed to inject a sense of joy and vibrancy into the lives of their wearers, irrespective of age. Their work is a celebration of femininity, creativity, and the sheer joy of crafting pieces that resonate with women on a deeply personal level while retaining a broad appeal. Through their designs, Robinson Pelham not only sets trends but also pays homage to the timeless allure of truly expressive jewelry.

This penchant for color spans from the deep hues of fancy sapphires and tsavorites to the lush green of Muzo emeralds and the sparkle of fancy-cut diamonds, all meticulously set in the warmth of 18k yellow gold. Their exquisite use of the pavé setting technique brings an added layer of brilliance to various pieces, including Identity chains, Zouk earrings, and Orb hoops. Beyond gemstones, Robinson Pelham enhances their designs with bold central stones framed by either contrasting or complementary enamel, a technique splendidly exemplified by their Arena rings. The launch of the Chroma collection introduces a new chapter in their exploration of color, featuring 14k gold chains dipped in vibrant ceramic coatings of turquoise, pink, or orange, adding a modern pop of color. This collection, popular among both men and women, highlights the brand's commitment to creating pieces that transcend gender boundaries, showcasing Robinson Pelham's continual innovation in the world of fine jewelry.
A visit to the dynamic Robinson Pelham boutique on Elystan Street in Chelsea, London, unveils the brand's adeptness at blending vibrant hues into its jewelry. Amidst preparations for one of their acclaimed piercing parties on June 28, the atmosphere was charged with excitement. These events are renowned for drawing VIP clients, friends, and influencers, many of whom have been introduced to the brand through Instagram or inspired by its roster of high-profile aficionados, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales, and Pippa Middleton. The occasion highlighted not just the aesthetic allure of their pieces but also the vibrant community that Robinson Pelham has nurtured around its unique brand ethos.

The exploration of ear piercing at Robinson Pelham starts with the EarMenu, a term that captures their ever-evolving selection of Orb earrings, EarWishes, and an array of studs for endless mixing and matching opportunities. This season saw the introduction of new pieces to the lineup, including a black diamond version of the bestselling Orb hoop, along with a black diamond EarWish (a hoop charm), and a black diamond WishBack. These elegant, midnight black choices not only stand out beautifully against bright neon colors but also provide refined options for those seeking to enhance their earring collection with a touch of sophistication.
WishBacks are intricately designed butterfly earring backs, each adorned with gem-set motifs ranging from snakes and skulls to moons, feathers, dragonflies, and more. These ornamental backs elevate even the simplest of studs into striking statement pieces. Crafted in different lengths, some WishBacks are made to gently peek out from under the earlobe, adding a subtle sparkle, while others are longer, designed to bring a dramatic flair to a sleek ponytail.
Finally, It's essential to highlight Robinson Pelham's flagship collection – Identity. This range features customizable golden chain link necklaces, adorned with charms and contemporary 'identity tags' embellished with enamel, diamonds, and colored gemstones. The collection's popularity surged when Gwyneth Paltrow showcased the Identity necklace as a centerpiece of her 'neck mess', propelling its international acclaim. Recent months have seen the addition of new, vibrant pieces to the collection, including dynamic pavé ID Hearts that attach to chunky chains with hinge fastenings, color pop enamel bars, and a unisex black diamond Identity bar, broadening its appeal.
