We’ll always be a forward-looking business. But once in a while, it’s nice to look back. This collection celebrates a milestone in our history: a family journey that opened up a new world. In 1962, Anthony Wainwright went on a remarkable adventure - meeting dealers in fine diamonds and gemstones, on a tour lasting just 16 days. The friendships he made transformed Boodles. It enabled us to offer jewels of a quality hard to find anywhere else. Six decades on, our Chairman, Nicholas Wainwright has honoured his father’s initiative with a journey of his own. Ten European cities, in ten days. They’ve inspired what you’ll find in this collection.
Notable pieces in the collection include a Florence design suite set with a heart shape diamonds. The pieces were inspired by the angel wing motifs that appear across the city in frescoes, sculptures and stucco. The overall
look is sculptured with a flow to the angel wings as they sweep around the stone. The clasp features a heart shaped motif set with pink diamonds surrounded by overlapping feathers. The Royal Parks earrings feature
two extremely special matching pear shape 6 carat tsavorites, set in pink gold. The earrings were inspired by the royal parks of London and the Boodles pink taxi that Nicholas travelled around London in. There is also an extraordinary Murano design necklace inspired by the fluidity of the glass during the blowing process, as well as the magical colours and patterns on the island. It is set with fancy shape multi-gems and diamonds which were handpicked and bought by Nicholas in Venice on his trip. The Paris bracelet features colours and motifs from the Jardin de Tuileries and Pavillon De Flore, a cochonnet from Nicholas’ game of Petanque, and finally a yellow sapphire that he bought in Paris. Together this forms the Boodles 2023 High Jewellery collection; ‘A Family Journey: Around Europe in 10 Days’.
