Television series including Game of Thrones and the upcoming The Bastard Executioner reflect the current fascination with medieval themes. Jewelry of the time was surprisingly intricate and used various techniques to add decoration. The preferred metal was gold.
Jewelry designer Orianne Collins handcrafts her fine jewelry collection with the same attention to detail using the finest metals and jewels.The Urbaine Collection includes rings, earrings and bracelets fashioned with yellow gold and white diamonds. The intricate patterns in each piece are handcrafted with skill and dedication into a beautiful and unique jewel. The rings, bracelets and earrings of the Urbaine Collection integrate alternating arches and ovals to create a delicate structural effect.
Collins develops concepts for her jewelry by interpreting her dreams into sketches that eventually are converted into the beautiful pieces in the collection. Says Collins, “I create each piece of jewelry in my collection with the purpose of fulfilling a dream for someone – perhaps a romantic ring, structured cufflinks or a bracelet or earrings.”
