The Bite Magazine - Spring/Summer 2020 - Issue 27

Jewellery For The The Dreamers biteaccessories I’MMANY London Immensely intrigued by I’MMANY London’s real and life-like natural and organic jewellery, Cristina Lloyd finds out more about the collections launched last year following the brand’s inception and the latest SS20 Garden Society collection. T here is something remarkably iconic about I’MMANY London’s life-like jewellery pieces that stem from nature’s children such as flow- ers, insects, fruits, and other influences. Founded by Tina Xu in London, this former mobile games industry veteran who has lived in many multicultural cities in- cluding Los Angeles, San Francisco, Beijing, and Lon- don, is a self-taught contemporary jewellery designer who uses inspirations from nature and her world-trav- elling experiences. Working with a wide range of materials, Tina’s designs feature a harmonious co-existence of non-traditional intricacy and feminine detailing. One of her most im- pressive decorations is flowers including roses, dai- sies, hydrangea, and others. These fascinating blooms are carefully preserved by artisans into flower ‘gems’ with the help of eco-friendly resin. The preservation process goes through four to five different stages and takes months to plan and execute before being trans- formed into wearable pieces. There are several collections by I’MMANY London that will capture your immediate attention such as the Rose Collection which features a full set of jewellery made with beautiful real roses. These gorgeous pieces were released in Spring 2019 and designed to showcase the Images courtesy of I.DEA PR
