<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Drawing inspiration from her own Tavola tableware collection and sun-soaked Venetian lemon recipes, together the duo have created this piece. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Crafted in 18k yellow gold, with a zingy tsavorite leaf and a cabochon quartzite jade, the Lemon Charm is inspired by “life’s freshest, sunniest moments”.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The collection is created as part of the Charms for Change initiative, where a percentage of sales is donated to Chefs in Schools, a charity working to improve food and food education in schools across the UK. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Founded in 2013 by British environmentalist and columnist Sheherazade Goldsmith, Loquet takes a “contemporary approach” to the idea of a keepsake locket. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Each locket, ring, bracelet, or necklace can be customized with a unique combination of charms—ranging from initials and birthstones to symbols and words. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">All Loquet gemstones are responsibly sourced and all diamonds conflict-free, with chains handcrafted in Italy, and all of the jewellery is made in an atelier that is certified by the Responsible Jewellery Council and complies with their rigorous standards in responsible sourcing and workplace conditions.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Loquet London has announced the launch of its charity collaboration with Marianela Nuñez, principal ballerina of the Royal Ballet.<span id="more-219127"></span></p>
<p>The capsule charity collection, which celebrates “strength, vulnerability and the passions that drive us”, features a Diamond Swan Charm as well as a Diamond Ballet Shoe Charm.</p>
<p>Crafted in white gold and diamonds, the Diamond Swan Charm “embodies the delicate beauty and inner strength that exist in perfect balance”.</p>
<p>Alongside this, the Diamond Ballet Shoe Charm is crafted in rose gold and diamonds, created to be a keepsake for “dancers, dreamers and those who seek the resilience to carry out their passions”.</p>
<p>The collection is created as part of the Charms for Change initiative, where a percentage of sales is donated to the Royal Ballet’s Pointe Shoe Appeal.</p>
<p>Every season The Royal Ballet dance through over 6,000 pairs of pointe shoes, and the Pointe Shoe Appeal helps towards covering all of the shoes required by the company, supporting the dancers of The Royal Ballet throughout the season.</p>
<p>Nuñez said: “Ballet shoes are an extension of my body. They take time to prepare, they become a security blanket, when you see a pair of ballet shoes, you can’t get better than that. They are so pretty.”</p>
<p>Loquet London was founded in 2013 by British environmentalist and columnist Sheherazade Goldsmith.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Loquet London has announced the launch of its new Spirit Animal charm collection.<span id="more-217687"></span></p>
<p>Fourteen animal totems drawn by hand have been brought to life in 18k yellow and rose gold with Top Wesselton white diamonds.</p>
<p>The collection features a deer, a horse, a spider, a whale, a bear, an owl, a fox, a snail, a tiger, a cat, an elephant, an octopus, a lizard and a hummingbird.</p>
<p>Each animal in the collection represents certain traits and qualities which a buyer can resonate to. For instance, Loquet describes the mama bear, the wise owl, the quick fox as offering the wearer the chance “to carry a reminder of your own strengths, whenever you need to draw on them”.</p>
<p>Loquet said: “The collection allows one to find connections and nurture passions, to look on the bright side, face demons, or tap into a well-spring of inner strength you didn’t know you had: there’s a spirit animal for that.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Loquet London has announced its collaboration with Kate Kane in aid of the Harry Kane Foundation.<span id="more-216718"></span></p>
<p>Co-designed by Loquet London founder Sheherazade Goldsmith and Kane, the collection is inspired by “shared values of enduring love, resilience and family bonds”.</p>
<p>To reflect this intention, the collection incorporates stones with healing properties, alongside the ancient art of lapidary, for a “unique” Loquet collection.</p>
<p>A proportion of the sale of all items from the Kate Kane for Loquet London collection (25% of the sale price of lockets and beaded charm bracelets, and 40% of the sale price of charms) will be donated to the Harry Kane Foundation, a restricted fund under the auspices of Prism the Gift Fund (charity no 1099682).</p>
<p>The Harry Kane Foundation was founded to help transform this generation’s approach to mental health, through normalising conversations around the topic and promoting positive habits that support mental wellbeing.</p>
<p>The collection features two lapidary lockets, two beaded bracelets, four crystal charms and three 18k gold charms.</p>
<p>The hand carved Pink Opal locket brings a “gentle energy that encourages calm and peace within”, while the Blue Chalcedony counterpart creates a “soothing presence to heal emotional wounds”.</p>
<p>Similarly, the Lion Heart, a symbol of resilience and leadership, encourages the wearer to “build their inner strength and support others too” and the Bowen Knot charm symbolises family ties and their “interwoven and unbreakable bonds”.</p>
<p>Goldsmith said: &#8220;This collection explores the ideas of ecology, the rights of natural phenomena, the construction of identity, ancient wisdom and the abiding sense that certain stones possess an animating spirit that can be harnessed for personal growth.”</p>
<p>Kane added: “This collaboration is an opportunity to not only raise funds for wonderful charities across the country, but also help the conversation around mental health awareness, particularly from the standpoint of women and mothers. It was important to Sheherazade and I to use crystals and stones that carried meaning, and pieces within this collection symbolise strength, resilience, and connection – which are some of the key messages of the Harry Kane Foundation.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>British fine jewellery brand Loquet has opened the doors to its new flagship store Belgravia’s Elizabeth Street as it celebrates its 10th anniversary.<span id="more-214817"></span></p>
<p>Along with the launch of the new store, to celebrate its 10th year, Loquet has gone through an in-depth rebranding process which encompasses everything from design, website (launch 24 April), imagery and packaging.</p>
<p>Founded in 2013 by Sheherazade Goldsmith, Loquet takes a “contemporary” approach to the “era-spanning” concept of charm bracelets and Victorian lockets.</p>
<p>After having initially established itself on a pop-up basis on Elizabeth Street in 2016, number 73 is now where the brand has made permanent home to its flagship.</p>
<p>The store is inspired by Goldsmith’s childhood memories of visiting a sweet shop near her grandmother’s in Ealing, where visitors choose their sweets to put into their pick and mix bags. Similarly Loquet’s clients will be able to select precious charms to fill their talisman.</p>
<p>The new space is designed by Goldsmith alongside architect Richard Moore and features lighting and installations in warm tones of beige, green and pink onyx by Helle Mardahl and Molteni that resembles Goldsmith&#8217;s favourite memory of glass jars filled with precious fine jewellery.</p>
<p>The store also features a contemporary backdrop of “elegant” panelling and art by Damien Hirst, and a velted-seat booth seating area.</p>
<p>Loquet’s hand-crafted collections of solid gold classic, signature and heirloom lockets can be explored at the boutique alongside charms ranging from plain gold initials to the new large charms, which mark the 10th anniversary of the brand with a zoomed-in version of a few Loquet “favourites”. It also includes an evil eye charm and an 18k rose gold heart paved with pink sapphires.</p>
<p>The new store also offers a bespoke service where “one-of-a-kind” charms are created in collaboration with the skilled team, a process which can now be discovered in the flagship store as well as online.</p>
<p>Each charm and locket is handmade using VS clear G coloured diamonds that are conflict-free and responsibly sourced, with chains handcrafted in Italy.</p>
<p>Additionally, all of the jewellery is made in an atelier that is certified by the Responsible Jewellery Council and complies with their rigorous standards in responsible sourcing and workplace conditions.</p>
<p>Goldsmith said: “The design inspiration is the same as the website, a sweetshop from my childhood. A world of glass jars and pick and mix, sherbet dips and Wham bars. Love Hearts were for the older girls who played spin the bottle, whilst we wore candy charm bracelets that we ate throughout the day. There was often a rainbow somewhere in the shop, an illusion from light bouncing off the jars. The sweets were more Scrumptious Sweet Co. than Willy Wonka &#8211; and not a million miles from how our charms look inside a locket.</p>
<p>“I wanted to create somewhere intimate, that feels like a unique experience and celebrates the materials and colours that we use in our designs, hence the collaboration with Helle Mardahl. Her use of colour and glass plays with light and is reflective of our pieces. The marble onyx is like a jewel in itself. Each piece is unique and handpicked for its individual markings.”</p>
<p>She added: “Onyx also has a reflective quality about it which works brilliantly with our sapphire crystal faceted lockets and Helle’s coloured glass. The basketweave flooring is a nod to the faceted crystal we use on our signature and heirloom pieces. The space is small, so it was important the interiors celebrated the design of our collections.”</p>
