ODYSSEY CUFFLINK COLLECTION: The new Odyssey collection of cufflinks is said to embody quintessential men’s styling. The collection is suited to men, but a varied use of colour, texture and silhouette also lend themselves to the female audience. There is a choice of style to suit all needs: sartorial, occasion, office or weekend, with two types of fitting: the classic T-bar or the contemporary Barbell. Cufflinks are crafted from an assortment of precious materials that enhance the aesthetic of each design and promote the collection to a wider audience. Travel Retail prices are £55 to £106; US$110 to US$212; €74 to €143.
BACK TO NATURE: Incorporating organic silhouettes and amorphous lines, Back to Nature is inspired by fascinating forms and shapes found in the natural world. Soft, irregular spheres, driftwood inspired shafts and undulating discs are free of clinical styling and appear eroded. The pieces have highly polished silver and gold surfaces, and the contrast of matt brushing adds depth. Central to all is the addition of a signature brilliant-cut diamond to each piece. Inspired by driftwood, the cuff is a striking centrepiece to the collection and is highlighted with 18ct vermeil and brilliant-cut diamonds and accompanied by a matching ring. Travel retail prices in the UK are around £42 to £302; US$84 to US$604 and €56 to €407.
