In a world where jewellery tells stories of artistry and identity, Forms unveils its latest collection: three unique looks combining rubellites, diamonds and shakudō

As fine jewellery evolves to reflect personal expression and individuality, Forms’ new collection celebrates the fusion of heritage craftsmanship and contemporary design. These pieces aren’t just jewellery—they are wearable art, each telling a story of colour, texture and innovation. Across three curated looks, Forms redefines elegance, offering creations as bold as they are refined: perfect for the modern collector.

Bold brilliance of rubellites

Rubellites take centre stage in one look, their vivid purplish-red hue creating a statement of bold femininity. The rubellite, diamond and shakudō earrings feature cushion-shaped rubellites with diamonds and shakudō, a textured gold-copper alloy from Japan, which together create a stunning interplay of brilliance and depth.

The rubellite, diamond and shakudō necklace offers a cascading array of 15 graduated rubellites, their exceptional brilliance accentuated by diamonds and shakudō detailing. This piece turns any moment into an unforgettable occasion.

Rounding out the look is the rubellite, diamond and shakudō ring, a single rubellite surrounded by a shakudō frame and sparkling diamonds. Together, these pieces command attention, embodying the transformative power of colour and design.

Geometry meets grace

Another look leans into modern minimalism, celebrating clean lines and unexpected textures. The rectangular-cut diamond and shakudō bangle exudes contemporary sophistication, its open design featuring floating diamonds set against shakudō’s dark patina—a masterclass in contrast.

The diamond and shakudō brooch takes this ethos further, using Forms’ innovative mounting technique to create a streamlined design where diamonds seem to hover weightlessly. For a pop of vibrant colour, the Fancy Deep Orangy Yellow Diamond Brooch showcases a dazzling central diamond surrounded by textured gold and shakudō accents. Each piece is a conversation starter, marrying technical precision with visual impact.

Inspired by nature

Nature has long been a muse for jewellery design, and a third look takes this inspiration to elegant new heights. The diamond and golden brown aluminium leaf earrings showcase Forms’ pioneering fluid channel setting, where diamonds appear to float on golden-brown aluminium leaves, mimicking the lightness of dewdrops.

As the world of jewellery shifts towards individuality and sustainability, Forms leads the way with designs that are not mere adornments but statements of personal identity. These are jewels for those who see beauty in contrast—where tradition and modernity, boldness and subtlety, coexist in perfect harmony.
