The company stated that 10% of the sale proceeds from the collection will support the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) Foundation and the Pasadena Humane Society.
Quin said: “Falling in love has been described as a form of temporary insanity. In this collection, I capture the exhilarating emotional rollercoaster that is uniquely found in the early stages of romantic love: dizzying highs, crushing doubts and uncertainty, equally thrilling and distressing, full of trepidation and hope. But oh, what a glorious ride it is,” says Rachel, explaining the inspiration behind her new designs.
“This collection, created in collaboration with Gemfields, showcases responsibly mined rubies and emeralds in ten unique designs, each representing a different emotional facet of burgeoning love: seduction, vulnerability and yearning, to name a few. These brilliant gemstones not only enhance each design’s beauty, but also deepen the collection’s narrative: rubies, the gemstone of the heart, symbolise passionate love, while emeralds represent loyalty, harmony and new beginnings – all the elements we seek in the first flush of new love.”
Emily Dungey, Gemfields’ marketing and communications director, added: “It’s such a joy to see our Zambian emeralds and Mozambican rubies in Rachel Quinn’s fun designs! The pops of red and green signal the quality of each piece: each one a characterful work of art, designed by a clever mind, crafted by careful fingers and made of nature’s treasures. The collection is unique, refreshing and tells a story, just like the gemstones themselves. Who wouldn’t want to collect them all?
“Zambian emeralds sparkle playfully as spots on the Lovesick Necklace and complete the spider lurking in the Spiderweb Earrings, while vibrant Mozambican rubies take pride of place in the centre of the Lucky Love Token Necklace and Radiant Heart Pinky. These coloured gems have all been responsibly mined at sites majority owned and operated by Gemfields, which strives to provide a positive impact from its operations.”
