The Bite Magazine - Autumn/Winter 2019 - Issue 26

bite jewellery O ften when someone leads a double life, there is a negative impli- cation behind it.The person is perceived as deceitful, hiding a secret from the past, or leading people down the garden path so to speak. But with BOTIER this is not the case.They believe there is duality in every individual. “Each person has a desire, craving for something they [wish to] reach during their life. BOTIER stands for the ‘double life’ that rages in a person.” It is for this very reason that they created double rings designed by founder Marina Botier. More than just an accessory, BOTIER is a new generation jewellery line that represents us (the people), our personality, what we have desired, what we want now and will want in the future.They say that each finger on our hand holds a special energy.“When putting on a BOTIER ring, attract the energy you want, [and] the ring will reflect that desire. BOTIER strongly encour- ages everyone to believe in themselves.” We must, therefore, understand that we are powerful individuals who are capable of anything. Having worked in the fashion industry, jewellery designer Marina Botier draws her inspiration from her experience there.With the industry and the trends constantly evolving, she felt there was a need for statement pieces with a timeless design.When she first presented her rings to her peers in fashion that she had designed for herself, the reactions she received were overwhelmingly positive so she decided to come up with her own line. The main focus of BOTIER will always be infinite designs with a strong emphasis on fashion and femininity. The jewellery brand represents the modern woman who likes to treat herself and live life to the full. As the collection consists of rings, pendants, and earrings, the brand believes that every woman can see herself wearing the brand’s strong, elegant and fash- ionable pieces. Made with the finest gold and diamonds, each piece is carefully and beautifully handmade. This season, BOTIER’s new jewellery collections consist of EyesWide Shut, Celestial, Connectivity, and Limitless. Not entirely like the film of the same name, the EyesWide Shut collection stems from a desire, a dream.“As you know no dream is ever just a dream. It comes from deep within.We desire mystery and wish to achieve our dreams through this.” Therefore, the collection shows a mysterious yet very feminine side of BOTIER, allowing women to feel incredibly sexy and the ability to conquer the world. Consisting of double and singular rings, earrings, and chokers, the pieces are emblems of beauty and sophistication. Almost looking like a pair of specta- cles, each double ring range has its individual characteristics. For example, EWS-03-R in 18-carat rose gold is encrusted with white diamonds and two brilliant-cut white diamonds, while EWS-13-W in 18-carat white gold has white and black diamonds with two marquis cut sapphires, and EWO-S- 01-R in 18-carat rose gold consists of green sapphires and white diamonds. The earrings are equally beautiful with EWS-ER-03-W in 18-carat white gold with white diamonds and two marquise-cut sapphires, and EWS-ER- 01-R in 18-carat rose gold with white and black diamonds, one marquise-cut tsavorite and one marquise-cut sapphire. How about the EWS-C-01-W choker in 18-carat white gold with white diamonds, brilliant-cut black diamond, and brilliant-cut sapphire? Another is the EWS-C-02-R in 18-carat rose gold with white diamonds and brilliant-cut yellow and black diamonds. In the Celestial collection, you’ll find styles in the sections of Day & Night, Moonlight, My Lucky Star, and Shooting Star. Within Day & Night, there are two ring sizes: Mid Ring and (Full) Ring in 18-carat white, yellow, or rose gold with a choice of white or black diamonds or both. Moonlight is made up of beautifully designed earrings in 18-carat white gold with white, black
