Poetry x Black Betty

Edgy jewellers Black Betty and dainty, feminine retailer Poetry have come together to present a new range, Atoll, paying homage to coastal beauty. Each piece references coral reefs, the motion of the ocean  and shells. Think pearls, conch shell chains, twisty hoops and gold coral. Available at select Poetry stores. 

The Atoll collaboration between jewellers Black Betty and retailer Poetry is all about coastal beauty

Everyday Extraordinary

It is perfect for that warm glow and afterwards as a home for trinkets, flowers or another candle. Available through Net-a-Porter
