EXCLUSIVE CREATIONS
INDIVIDUALITY DEFINED
For millions of years, gemstones have been cherished for their beauty and individuality. Sourced from every corner of the earth, in some of the most exotic landscapes, each one carries with it a story of heritage, discovery and geological innovation. The journey from mine to jewellery is one that fascinates admirers, adding only further to the allure of these exotic gemstones.
In a celebration of artistry, luxury jeweller, Laings, marries rare gemstones with exceptional design talent and craftsmanship. The Exclusive Creations range showcases gemstones hand-selected by a team of exceptional experts, transformed into beautiful designs that are individually crafted with a focus on their unique nature. Expert curator, Leah Wylie, plays a crucial role in the process:
“With the Exclusive Creations collection, it is not only about sourcing gemstones that are of the highest quality but also those that can be visualised as part of an innovative design. We aim to select stones that will spark even more creativity in our designers and goldsmiths. For this collection in particular, we’ve chosen gems like spinel and chrysoberyl, stones that are often underrated in jewellery, yet possess extraordinary colour, vibrancy, and natural beauty.”
With over 185 years of expertise, Laings has been part of innovative jewellery design and craftsmanship for six generations. With a dedicated designer in each of their four showrooms, Laings are committed to nurturing craftsmanship, allowing creativity to take the lead. Lead Designer, Sarah Alexander, has expressed enthusiasm over the collection:
“When working on commissioned bespoke pieces our focus is on fusing the clients’ ideas with our expertise. However, Exclusive Creations has given each of us designers a chance to play with jewellery design and express ourselves in ways in which we hadn’t before. Exclusive Creations weaves together historical influences, artistic eras, and contemporary trends, allowing each piece to be shaped by a rich blend of inspiration.”
While each piece in the collection is a truly unique, one-of-a-kind creation, the range is united by a series of elegant designs that appeal to a wide variety of tastes. One standout example is the 2.12ct colour-change garnet ring, a true hero of the collection. With an oval stone set in an east-west orientation, it is a magical marvel to behold. The magnificent pink colour-change garnet captivates with its shifting shades. Amongst the rarest garnet varieties, its hues transform under different lighting, inviting the eye to discover a world of wonder.
Other exotic and captivating gemstones in the creation include indicolite and tourmaline gemstones. Seen in rings, earrings and pendants, each of these pieces feature a mesmerising unique tourmaline and indicolite gemstones. These rare treasures are enveloped in pieces that feel reminiscent of Scottish heritage and traditional design motifs.
Many of these exquisite pieces are designed by Glasgow-based designer, Kirsty Berry.
Laings Exclusive Creations collection celebrates not only the world’s most exceptional gemstones, but also the pinnacle of British craftsmanship. Each piece is carefully brought to life with a sense of timeless elegance, individuality, and refined artistry, resulting in treasures that are truly one‑of‑a‑kind.
The current selection of Exclusive Creations is available to view in the Laings Glasgow showrooms, with new masterpieces unveiled throughout the year for clients to discover and delight in.
