British jewellery designer Kiki McDonough has just launched what is perhaps her most heartfelt collection to date, rooted in her passion for ballet. Inspired by Swan Lake, Wings Over Water captures sunlit ripples and the grace of swans in watery tones like aquamarines, tanzanites and green beryls. Many of the pieces combine a modern version of the ultra-transparent portrait cut with diamonds and gold. The line is the second of three collections inspired by different ballets released over the course of this year.
