Sublime stretched velvet baubles, hand-made and encrusted with bejewelled strings of diamante and seasonal animals.
Each bauble begins as a carefully chosen piece of sumptuous velvet, stretched taut over a hollow core to create a luxuriously smooth, sculptural form. Skilled artisans shape the fabric by hand, securing every fold and seam so the surface reads flawless and luminous under ambient light. The stretched technique gives the baubles a modern silhouette while preserving tactile richness—soft, dense and subtly reflective.
Adorning these forms are strings of diamante applied in deliberate, rhythmic patterns. Tiny crystals catch and scatter light, creating a scintillating network that traces the contours of each sphere or ovoid. The diamante strands are arranged both for visual drama and structural harmony: linear runs that emphasize length, concentric loops that enhance volume, and delicate lattices that suggest filigree. Each crystal is set by hand, ensuring secure placement and an artisanal irregularity that reads as character rather than imperfection.
Seasonal animals—miniature sculpted motifs rendered in complementary materials—bring narrative and whimsy to the collection. Think porcelain hares with glazed finishes for spring, gilded robins and velvet-wrapped acorns for autumn, frosted foxes and crystalline snow hares for winter, and honeyed bees with tiny pearl accents for summer. These figures are integrated as subtle reliefs, perched along diamante strands, or clustered as miniature tableaux. Their presence transforms each bauble from mere ornament to talisman of a season, inviting tactile discovery.
Colourways are curated to balance opulence with restraint: deep jewel tones—emerald, sapphire, garnet—paired with antique gold or pewter mountings; soft pastels—blush, sage, powder blue—for delicate scenes; and monochrome variants in onyx or ivory for a contemporary, minimalist take. Textural contrast is a guiding principle: plush velvet against hard crystal, matte animal forms beside gleaming beads.
Hand finishing is paramount. Edges are bound with fine piping, seams are invisibly stitched, and the backings are lined to preserve shape and protect the inner surfaces. Each bauble is inspected and lightly polished so the diamante retains maximum brilliance without obscuring the velvet’s plush depth.
These baubles function equally well as heirloom decorations, boutique gift pieces, or focused sculptural accents. Their artisanal pedigree—hand-stretched fabric, individually set diamante, and lovingly modeled animal details—ensures that every piece feels singular. When clustered together, they form a seasonal menagerie of light, texture and story: an understated extravagance that elevates ritual and décor through craft and imagination.
