DENMARK. Danish jewellery company Pilgrim has announced new listings in the Middle East as it prepares to show its Autumn and Winter collections to the trade at the TFWA World Exhibition this month.
Pilgrim recently opened a back wall space at Abu Dhabi Duty Free’s Domo lifestyle concept store for the women’s collection as well as a gondola for the men’s range. Both have been performing very well, the company said.
In product development news, the theme for the Autumn 2007 collection integrates the polar opposites of city and nature, while paying tribute to simplicity.
The collection is streamlined and with sleek lines, round forms, classical patterns and natural materials, focusing on simplicity in a naturalistic urban environment. Inspiration stems from Nordic nature, art deco and organic shapes with a touch of the fairytale Middle Ages.
The collection comprises 13 series, which vary in style from the distinguished Middle Ages expression to Nordic graphic simplicity. Nature is evoked throughout, in both materials and designs.

Main colours are grey, brown, black, and deep, dark nuances of blue, purple and red.
Nature combo: This series combines materials and expressions, using resin, wood and enamel. Inspiration is from Nordic nature – acorns, wolves and owls – which are united with graphic lines and geometric shapes. The mix of urban contemporary with Nordic nature is said to add dynamism, while the wolf head and owl provide a touch of the wild and mysterious.
Living flower: This is an atypical flower that unites the genuine with the artificial. The flower is simple with a
lively layered effect.
Graphic flower: This flower has been streamlined to its most simple form. It is described as a light, graphical take on a flower where the prominent lines emphasise its simplicity.
Retro elegance: Here the pure and graphical Scandinavian-inspired lines combine with nature in a
leaf. The thoughts behind this series include removing the superfluous from daily life.
Elegant rock: A new version of the classical flower. Its heaviness is inspired by the roughness of Scandinavian nature and some of the jewellery has distinctive semi-precious stones, which in some designs is reminiscent of cliffs. The tough look is softened by Swarovski crystals.
Gothic charm: This series is inspired by the Gothic period. The rose and sword were chosen as symbolic
focal points: the rose represents beauty, the sword strength. The combination of the two is designed to create a raw femininity.
Rivet & heart: A blend of the unrefined and the womanly, combining rivets and leather and rustic hearts.
Rose: The rose, a symbol of love, femininity, elegance and glory, is put together with sparkling Swarovski crystals to convey sensuality and elegance.
Ball with a twist: The ball has a three-dimensional shape with Gothic ornamentation that gives it a unique look.
New Vintage II: Inspired by grandmother’s jewellery box, this series gives the wearer the opportunity to combine the new with the old, thereby creating a look of your own.
Charms: The little charms can be combined in a myriad of ways. The website (www.pilgrim.dk) gives consumers the opportunity to create their own jewellery.
Floral circle: This round, simple flower contrasts with the sleeker and more detailed flowers in the
collection. Swarovski crystals form small petals.
Autumn’s finest: Pilgrim combines the flower with oval glass beads, aiming to achieve an effect that is elegant yet pronounced.

MEN’S AUTUMN 2007 COLLECTION
This autumn, Pilgrim introduces four new jewellery series for men, designed for four types. Urban-inspired designs with a mix of gold and silver metals and leather appear throughout the collection. Details such as large rivets and magnetic closures top it off.
Black string: This series consists of leather and silver-plated metal. The expression is elegant and minimal with a raw edge.
Urban style: This series combines gold and silver metal with leather, creating a contrast between golden softness and crude metal. The style is modern city bohemian with unrefined bling.
Revolver: The revolver is the inspiration for this series. The focal point is the roll that the bullets are in. The series makes a connection with the rock style expressed in skinny jeans, sneakers and tight shirts. The design is masculine and distinctive.
Luck: This series is punk influenced. The symbols include a sword and coins joined with the punk style’s characteristic component – rivets. The material is leather and metal. The design is aimed at the young rebel and the jewellery evokes lucky charms.
