Jewellery Designer

Designer Spotlight; Theodora Warre

StyleRebecca O'Byrne

Having begun her career in the fashion side of the industry Theodora Warre is a force to be reckoned with ever since stepping into her own in the jewellery space + setting up her eponymous label back in 2014 . When it comes to dressing up the everyday, Warre stands out from the crowd as she injects a sense of adventure + colour into what can sometimes feel all too mundane.

Part of her very DNA, Warre’s great-grandfather was crown jeweler Harry Garrard who became the first official Crown Jeweler in the United Kingdom, designing pieces directly for Queen Victoria in the 1800’s. And although design most certainly runs in the family, Warre herself is very much at the helm of wearable keepsakes; it is without a doubt that her own style + creative vision as an artist have allowed her abundant success in her own right. An authority on semi-precious pieces while working with sterling silver + gold plate, Warre is heavily inspired by the colourful nature of India + it’s striking vividness that plays into each of her collections while injecting a sense of discovery into each piece. Drawing upon the notable character of Jaipur, where she spends a lot of time + where she also studied at the Gem Palace, is is clear the style of a Theodora Warre woman is one well-travelled + forever in search of the previously undiscovered next gem.

Designer Spotlight; Sophie Buhai

It’s not always easy to follow your heart but taking the lead from Sophie Buhai, self-reinvention seems all too easily attainable, not to mention rather stylish. 

Leading the way as the ultimate example of originality, Sophie Buhai is firmly back in her native LA lifestyle, having left her life in NYC and selling her stake in Vena Cava, the clothing line she co-founded and designed with her friend Lisa Mayock, straight out of Parsons. With 10 years experience in the industry, not to mention a manic New York City paced career in the rearview, she took a year out to develop other passions. During that time, Sophie thoughtfully designed her newly purchased home which led to her organic movement into an interiors role - a role she still holds today, designing for fashion insiders. However, it was in 2015 that she truly found her feet, launching her namesake jewellery brand, Sophie Buhai. Housed on her website, alongside a wide variety of life-style findings she has discovered along the way, including a Natalie Smith painting, Mark Pavlovits homeware and an Elsa Peretti terracotta vase, her designs and collections have been received with significant regard. Known now for her beautifully bold yet powerfully delicate modernist pieces, Sophie continues to reinvent the world of sculptural silhouettes, bringing to life her take on modern classics.
