BRITISH jewellery designer Solange Azagury-Partridge has momentarily turned her back on silver and embraced the beauty of gold. Pure gold. Digging deep beneath the earth’s surface and extracting the extravagant nature of this element, she unveils a collection entitled Solid.
Twisting, carving and shaping solid gold, the collection takes on a multifaceted approach to design with each aspect radiating the same warmth and confidence of ancient glamour that Azagury-Partridge has tried to emulate.

Inspired by the historical landmark of Stonehenge, Goldhenge is born. Looking into the mysticism and spiritual nature of the prehistoric standing stones, a ring, necklace, bangle and pair of earrings mimic its beauty. Delving further into the atmosphere, the Goldstar section of Solid takes the fiery stone and returns it to its celestial origin with the star motif.

With Solange’s name famous for her Hot Lips rings, she brings the same fun nature to this new gold collection. Starburst and Heartburst rings become the new statement piece for your hand, and sure to be on the top of everyone’s Christmas wish-list.
However, for those looking for something even more unique and one to change the meaning of longevity, Azagury-Partridge introduces the Shapeshifters. Entirely made from 24 carat gold, the rings subtly change their form as the wearer gets older switching the position of designer to her client.

The Solid collection is a beautiful celebration of gold. A material so pure, so decadent that without it, jewellery would not be the same. Long live gold.
