Pleated Elegance: Signature Style
Pleated Elegance is our unique collection of sustainable fine jewellery characterised by an intricate pleated design that varies slightly according to individual pieces. These versatile jewellery pieces are a firm favourite among clients looking for sleek and modern jewellery designs, whether earrings, a bracelet, a necklace or a new ring. One of the defining characteristics of this eco-friendly jewellery collection is that every piece is sustainable, crafted with high-quality lab-grown diamonds and 18k gold.
Pleated Jewellery Designs
Fyne is known for our sustainable fine jewellery (featuring lab-grown diamonds and 18-karat gold), but we wanted to incorporate a collection of even more modern jewellery designs. Pleated Elegance steps into a realm of versatile jewellery pieces with a sleek design, available in various colours. We chose to use enamel in this case — to craft minimalist jewellery that really stands out.
Fyne’s Favourites
While it’s hard to choose just a few stand-out pieces from this eco-friendly jewellery collection, a firm favourite is the Pleated Vera Diamond Hand Chain. This striking piece catches eyes wherever the wearer goes, sparkling with its 18k gold and diamond features. You can also choose from white, green or black enamel, meaning you can customise your piece to match your wardrobe. Another favourite among our minimalist jewellery designs is the Pleated Ola Two Finger Gold Ring, with a unique two-finger design that features lab-grown diamonds shining out from a harmonica of white enamel.
FAQs
What is enamel jewellery?
Enamel is powdered glass fused onto a metal, in this case, gold, to add a unique and colourful decorative element to modern jewellery designs. Using high temperatures, the powdered glass becomes smooth, shiny and secure when bound to metal.
Can I wear enamel jewellery every day?
Yes, with some precaution. Enamel is essentially glass, so it can chip or crack with rough handling. If you wear your enamel jewellery daily, avoid high-impact activities such as sports, heavy lifting and manual work. Also, bear in mind that lotions, creams and chemicals can damage your jewellery, so it’s always best to remove it while cleaning yourself or your home.
Can enamel jewellery be repaired?
Yes. If your enamel jewellery chips, cracks or gets scratched, the best option is to take it to a professional jeweller specialising in enamel jewellery. Enamel can’t be polished or buffed like gold, but your jeweller may be able to smooth out any rough edges or apply a sealant. In some cases, the enamel may need to be reapplied, but given that this is an option, enamel jewellery is a beautiful and unique addition to your collection that you can wear time and time again.
