If there’s one thing the street-style phenomenon has taught us,

it’s this—a touch of quirk is indispensable. When it comes to fi ne

jewellery, however, size has always preceded whimsy. But that’s

fast changing. Vogue profi les three women—in London, New York

and Chennai—who are putting the fun in fi ne (and bringing their girl

gangs along for the ride!). By PRIYANKA KHANNA

When Jennifer Fisher tells you she

found her calling with diamond dog

tags, you know this is a design narra-

tive like no other. For the New York-

based jeweller who celebrates 10 years

on set everyday—people started com-

plimenting me. I made a piece for Uma

Thurman, who wore it on the Glamour

cover! Soon I was selling necklaces

from my bedroom.”

2QIXQMHZHOOHU\“My charm neck-

laces are the most fun pieces; you can

customise them to your personality. I

love to layer and add colour with

enamel. You can add sayings, words or

dates to our burnished word cuffs. I

also love our ear cuffs, a new trend.”

“Women are looking to express them-

selves in an original way. In every

country, the girls want our charm

necklaces, and my friends have all cre-

ated their own pieces. It’s their version

of a modern-day heirloom.”
