biteaccessories “There is no better designer than nature” - Alexander McQueen ultimate romantic flair of the delicate flower, accented by ton- al hues of freshwater pearls, crystal, or semi-precious stones. You will be impressed with the intricate attention-to-detail. Now available in hues of colours from Bella Rose, a soft pink; Rosa Korresia, a vibrant yellow; to Grande Amore, a deep crim- son, the rosebuds are captured in a necklace, choker, bracelet, cocktail ring, and a wide selection of earrings. These include the Garden Rosebud Single Huggie Hoop Earring in Sunset Red, Carmine Red, Pink, or Yellow; Grande Amore Rosebud Gold Plated Ring with an adjustable open-end; and the Rosa Korresia Yellow Rose & Freshwater Pearl Choker Necklace. It is known that daisies represent innocence and a new be- ginning. There are several kinds of daisies in addition to the English daisy we are so familiar with. The Shasta, which is similar to its English counterpart in appearance has a much larger yellow head and grows much taller. Gerber is one of the world’s most popular daises available in a variety of bright colours including red, and the Painted daisy in hues of white, red, purple, and pink is very popular in gardens due to their ability to attract butterflies. The Daisy Collection is a refreshing statement line that has re- vived the nostalgic beauty of these little iconic flowers. Hand- crafted with press-dried real daisies and eco-friendly resin, each of the designs aims to show the charm of the flower in its purest form. Pieces like the Reborn White Daisy Organza Choker/Necklace which gets its name from the flower being reconstructed petal by petal into the resin cast has the charm suspended from a light green organza band with gold-tone clasps and an extension chain. Another piece is the Sun-kissed Yellow Daisy Drop Earrings featuring bright yellow petals with touches of white and a darker yellow flower head. How about the English Daisy Sin- gle Earring designed with a stem? People will be intrigued by this decoration on your ear. Speaking about the timeless daisy in his poem, A Field Flower, James Montgomery recites, “There is a flower, a little flower with silver crest and golden eye that welcomes every changing hour, and weathers every sky.” The most fascinating design that I love is the Double Cherry Drop Earrings which looks so real and delicious, it makes you want to eat them. With a perfect blend of playfulness and fem- ininity, the double cherries have become a signature piece for I’MMANY since its launch in Summer 2019 and has become a sought-after sensation among their followers. The earrings available in a choice of sterling silver or gold plated stems can be worn as a double or a single cherry. I also fell in love with the Rain or Shine Umbrella Earrings and Necklaces which were first introduced last summer in the capsule collection Iridescent Dreams. The earrings feature handmade miniature umbrellas in 3D using resin and head- pins suspended from a thin gold vermeil threader while the necklaces have a miniature umbrella and crystal raindrops suspended from a gold vermeil chain. These pieces are a liter- al translation of the designer’s love-hate feeling towards Brit- ain’s unique weather. The SS20 Garden Society is the latest seasonal collection from I’MMANY London consisting of several themes including the handcrafted Green Garden Peas Necklace inspired by “the sweet sugar snap peas from grandma’s garden.” This beautiful necklace is handcrafted from shimmering freshwater pearls or green fluorite gemstone beads, dangling from a fine 18-kar- at gold vermeil chain, secured with a bolt ring clasp and an I’MMANY engraved logo plate. Garden Bloom represents several species of flowers made into intricate jewellery pieces such as Aneesa Hydrangea Flower Stud Earrings made with two pale pink hydrangea flowers layered on a sterling silver stud and decorated with a sparkly crystal in the centre and Lillian Lily of the Valley Flower Neck- lace handmade with two pastel lily of the valley flowers and adorned with shimmering freshwater pearls and gemstones. Frame it with the neckline of an understated dress or top to keep the pastel flowers in focus. The refreshing gold-tone Garden Produce Bracelet and Neck- lace are inspired by the delicious vegetables from grandma’s garden. They are both crafted with lamp-work glass vegeta- bles and flowers. With the Huggie Hoop Earrings, as the brand says, “You don’t have to grow your own veggies to be a Green Goddess.” These earrings each feature a garden-produce charm made of lamp-work glass (except the apples which are made of resin) and suspended from a petit 14 mm sterling sil- ver Huggie hoop. The Reborn Daisies Bracelet, Choker, Cocktail Ring, and Stud Earrings also make an appearance in this season’s Garden So- ciety collection, alongside the Swallowtail Butterfly Drop Ear- rings which takes its influence from its spectacular subject. The earrings are handcrafted with freshwater pearls shaped into butterfly wings suspended from a sophisticated crystal stud, with two long crystal-embellished chains dangling from them. Finally, the Snailed It Freshwater Pearl Snail Necklace and Ear- ring are inspired by garden snails found on damp spring grass made into a cute decoration that is both precious and beauti- ful. Both the necklace and earrings are handcrafted with a but- ton baroque pearl and several smaller pearls using the brand’s superb wiring technique. I’MMANY London suggests you wear these pieces of jewellery with your hair pulled back to show off the intriguing shapes.
