Jun 6 , 2024

The Tiffany Titan range by Pharrell Williams adds titanium to the mix for weighty symbolism, while Hong Kong’s Hearts on Fire Barre and La Manso Metal collections keep it to gold and diamond

Artistic director Daniel Roseberry’s trainers for Schiaparelli look like something Williams himself would wear – after all, he comes from a place called Atlantis

As inevitable as a Pharrell Williams tune going viral, when it’s bling you want, you bring on the gold and diamonds. The serial hitmaker himself did just that in his latest collaboration, with masterful diamonds-for-breakfast merchants, Tiffany & Co. A chorus of brands big and small have picked up the tune, all leaning on the same fun, hip, provocative vibe to appeal to a younger clientele.

Music mogul and beauty brand founder Williams is the ultimate renaissance man. The collaborator-in-chief, also men’s creative director for Louis Vuitton, is now winding it even further back in time, teaming up with Tiffany & Co. for the Tiffany Titan by Pharrell Williams, a range of pieces inspired by the trident, the three-pronged spear wielded by Poseidon, the sea god in Greek mythology.

The necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings in the collection stand out for their punk vibe and the jarring pairing of yellow gold and titanium. “I’m very inspired by the water, and the name of this collection – Titan – draws inspiration from Poseidon, ruler of the sea, king of Atlantis,” says Williams, adding that Atlantis is the neighbourhood of Virginia Beach where he grew up. “The detail in all of the jewellery pieces is very intentional, the use of black titanium is a physical manifestation of beauty in blackness.”

2. Hearts on Fire Barre collection

Hong Kong-based international jeweller Hearts on Fire has been shaking things up with some striking new designs that are sure to resonate with a younger and cooler crowd. Case in point: the recently released Barre collection.

Diamonds of different cuts are set amid sleek, geometric gold designs, giving the pieces a modern and urban edge meant to reflect the dynamism of city life.
