In early March, Mercedes-Benz invited me to discover its new G-Class ‘Stronger Than Diamonds’ Edition at Studio Odeonsplatz in Munich, Germany. This car is a jewellery lover’s dream, complete with 0.25-carat diamonds set into all four stainless steel door-locking pins! Although all 300 cars sold out at record pace, there was still time to talk with Munich-based stylist Olesya Schuler at a private event organised by Studio Odeonsplatz about the best ways to wear diamonds in a fresh, modern and exciting way. Here are some of the answers I gave during the presentation to aid your jewellery dressing…

It was a pleasure to be invited to Studio Odeonsplatz in Munich to give a presentation on modern diamond jewellery trends and styling advice. I often give talks on the most significant developments in jewellery, but rarely to an audience that’s made up of jewellery lovers, luxury seekers and car enthusiasts in equal measure. I loved how curious they were about the subject as, unlike my regular audience, they didn’t have a very deep knowledge of gemstones and were listening to my every word with great curiosity.
