Covet: 'Ahimsa' by Zoe & Morgan
The prized jewellery brand’s latest curation is inspired by the Hindu principle ‘ahimsa’, to respect living things and do no harm to others. Signet rings and pendants are designed for everyday wear, inscribed with different chakra symbols said to inspire and nurture the wearer’s creativity, emotions, and power.
Breathtaking jewels like the brilliant green chrome diopside stone also feature, and a hand-assembled chain design is a nod to the energy that flows through all beings. Even better, the collection’s styles are designed for effortless layering and stacking with past season treasures.
