When you know jewellery well, there’s a particular pleasure to be had in watching the red carpet. I don’t mean counting carats or recognising a Maison from afar, although that is certainly part of the fun. I’m talking about noticing the moments when someone breaks a rule and does it with such conviction that it changes how you approach your own pieces the next time you open your jewellery box.

This story is available to Katerina Perez Club members.

In the continuation of this article, discover:

  • Unexpected placements which prove a brooch, ring or hair jewel can become something entirely new when worn off script.
  • The styling power of doubling up and why two can feel far more daring than one.
  • Rings without rules that overturn tradition and change the way hands command attention.
