Flutter & Wow 18ct Gold & Diamond Ring
The name is a play on the musical term ‘wow and flutter’, which describes the quivering pitch that occurs when a vinyl disc is played. It’s an apt metaphor for the rush of romance – a hint of what this collection is all about.
For Flutter & Wow, Elizabeth took the eternal symbol of love – the heart – and gave it a lyrical new spin. The result is an iconic design that runs the length of the collection: an asymmetrical, heart-shaped cage, wrought from interconnecting lines of gold or silver.
Edgy and offbeat, this thoroughly modern heart takes its cues from the fluctuating rhythms and paradoxes of romantic love.
Like the loved-up human heart, racing and stopping, soaring and diving, Flutter & Wow seems to dance to a beat all of its own. A dynamic network of lines and gently calibrated angles follow the contours of this beautifully irregular heart, creating a perpetual sense of movement, expansion and contraction. It is delicate yet strong, angular yet sensuous, open yet caged.
Key pieces include a gold & diamond pendant necklace (pave necklace), a statement bangle with three spinning charms, and a cluster necklace of silver nuggets accented with faceted garnet. Heart-shaped links and clasps carry the leitmotif of Flutter & Wow through to necklaces, chains and bracelets.
