Always An Occasion

Creative Directors of Garrard and Emily-London talk hats and jewellery, what makes an iconic occasion look, and the return of intentional dressing. Discover a navy Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis inspired pillbox hat chosen to pair with Garrard’s royal cluster 1735 Collection, perfectly colour matched using Dye-to-Match Colour Service.
Read the Interview

“I begin by considering balance and proportion. How will the hat be worn? Will the hair be swept up or left flowing? Will the earrings become a focal point? If the silhouette of the hat is dramatic, I might suggest more delicate earrings and instead draw attention to a bold ring or necklace. But ultimately, it’s deeply personal. The most compelling looks are the ones that feel right to the wearer.”
Sara Prentice, Creative Director, Garrard

The Favourite

A Blaze of Pink

The energy and magnetism of pink. From soft blush tones to intense magenta hues, pink sapphires, tourmaline, and opal are fashion-forward choices for crisp whites or a feminine accent to all black attire. They are the perfect partners to all shades of pink, set against different depth of colour that follows the same theme. When it comes to colour co-ordinating, pink jewels are a striking accompaniment to butter yellow, sky-blue, and look stylishly sporting against greens for outfits ready for cheering on your steed.

Royal Procession

The Prestige of Blue

The regal character of a blue sapphire is unmistakable. Tipped as the colour gemstone of 2026, this commanding jewel is the epitome of elegance. Deep blue jewels create a serene ambiance that feels grounded and sophisticated. Timeless and classic, yet offering a depth and individuality that’s impossible to imitate, blue tells a story that endures. Deep navy, powdery blues and cream ground the look. For more colourful matches, choose all shades of pink, and canary yellows. Slightly left field, but sure to turn heads, mint green serves as a fresh backdrop to the sapphire’s rich velvety hues.

Lucky Charms

Green for the Win

Manifest abundance. Vivid, fresh–flourishing. We pair emeralds, green sapphires, tsavorite and apple malachite with pastel outfitting for summer softness. Think lemons, rose pinks, baby blues, faded peach, and lavender. If you’re seeking a bold statement, emeralds have been dramatic finishing touches for style icons in silver, gold, mustard yellow, browns, burnt oranges, plums, or white ensembles. Ever versatile, green jewels have a special ability to harmonise a riot of colour–bringing multiple colourways of an entire look into line. Classic styles lean into green as the entire theme.

The Long Shot

Jockey's Yellow

Bring the sunshine. Yellows and oranges glow with warmth, bringing a goddess-like energy that elevates and delights. Golden mother of pearl, orange and yellow sapphires, and 18ct yellow gold are made luminous with natural diamonds that draw the light closer. These tones feel light and naturally radiant, perfectly aligned with summer occasion-wear. They bring warmth to blues, balance to pinks, and liveliness to green; from deep forest shades to zesty lime greens. Natural pairings for outfits are yellows, oranges, browns, and gold. For something subtle yet magnificent, choose silken whites and creams.

Best Odds

Outstanding Azures

Dive into the marvel of azure-blue stones. The creative spirit of aquamarines and Paraiba tourmalines ooze with cool confidence. Astonishing in their own right, these unique stones trace soft blue-toned light against all colours. From pastels to crisp white attire. For a surprising fashion-forward look, pair them with scarlet red for a decadent contrast fit for summer revelry. A summer favourite match is pastels, shimmering with imagination – as refreshing as a crisp G&T.

Front Runners

Dazzling Whites

For the purists. From minimal finishing touches to abstract diamond masterpieces and nature-inspired motifs. Radiant natural diamonds bring softness and luminosity, interjecting with effortless grace for every clink of toast during cheers, each routine hat adjustment, and the rounds of applause. Diamonds are the most versatile stone to style. Quiet looks opt for everyday diamonds, glowing with subtlety. We choose this stone for minimalist looks that draw on one colour, for example a matching blue look, or monochrome.
