This exclusive jewellery collaboration between Oliver Bonas and the V&A (Victoria & Albert Museum) features a range of unique jewellery inspired by the intricate silk fabric motifs designed by one of Britain’s most influential textile designers of the 18th century, Anna Maria Garthwaite.

Each jewellery piece in the collection features the elaborate blossoms and botanical motifs that once adorned the sumptuous ballgowns and elegant waistcoats of the 1720s through to the 1750s. The collection showcases a range of jewellery items, from necklaces and earrings to bracelets and a brooch, all meticulously crafted to capture the essence of Garthwaite’s original patterns.

“We are incredibly excited to collaborate with the V&A on this jewellery collection,” said Rebecca Jones, senior jewellery buyer at Oliver Bonas. “Anna Maria Garthwaite’s designs are a testament to the beauty and sophistication of Georgian England’s silk-weaving industry. Through this collection, we aim to celebrate her artistry and bring her timeless designs to a modern audience.”

Amelia Calver, brand licensing R&D manager, V&A said: “The collaboration is a wonderful illustration of how 18th-century silk details can be incorporated into contemporary design to produce unique fashionable pieces. It’s a remarkable achievement to express the creative genius of Anna Maria Garthwaite through jewellery, a pioneering force in the English silk industry, whose contributions continue to influence the world of fashion and design today.”
