| The mystique of Mustique: Theo Fennell's Tortoise bracelet |
When he was looking for inspiration for his next jewellery
piece, celebrated British designer Theo Fennell chose the island of Mustique -
a dream destination that encapsulates the elegance, sophistication and quirky
laid-back nature of Theo’s hugely popular ALIAS Silver Jewellery collection. Using
Mustique as his muse, Theo created the beautiful ‘Mustique Tortoise’ bracelet.
“The ALIAS collection has allowed us the
freedom to explore new designs and techniques and appeal to a much wider
audience from young to old in both price and feel. With Mustique I wanted to produce a piece
that reflects our ethos as well as Mustique as a destination – stylish yet
relaxed and with a sense of fun”, says Fennell.
With a commitment to conservation and an
abundance of flora and fauna; the red footed tortoise, African Baobab trees,
iguanas, hummingbirds and southern sting rays, Mustique is a protected
conservation area as well as an architectural gem. The island has 74
privately-owned, individually designed villas available to rent, many of which
were built by the late British stage designer and architect Oliver Messel.
Villa rentals start from US$4,300 (c.£2,700) per week
The charming sterling silver tortoise is
hand-made by Theo Fennell’s talented craftsman.
Its beauty is in its simplicity, and with attractive black enamel
finishing. Retailing at £95, the exclusive Mustique Tortoise will be available
for one month in December 2012 at the Theo Fennell flagship store on the Fulham
Road in London. From January 2013 it will be available to purchase online via
www.theofennell.com and in-store at The Pink House, Mustique
