Lily Cole evokes otherworldly glamour with Shaun Leane’s Luna

Model of the moment Lily Cole chose jewellery designer of the moment Shaun Leane when she glammed up for the London premiere of The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. Cole wore black diamond multi-drop earrings from Leane’s Luna collection.

The surreal Luna range is inspired by astronaught Neil Armstrong’s quote “it’s different but it’s pretty out here”. Also in the range is a cocktail ring with a carved centre surrounded by glistening black diamonds that evokes otherworldly glamour.

Leane was crowned Jewellery Designer of the Year at the UK Jewellery Awards 2009 in July.

Shaun Leane prepares for Cherry Blossom consumer launch

Shaun Leane's Cherry Blossom collection will be available for sale direct to consumers through the designer's own transational e-tail site shaunleanshop.com at the end of the month.

Leane unveiled the Cherry Blossom collection in April this year at a private showing at the Metropolitan Hotel in London, rather than launching the collection in BaselWorld as he has done with new collections in previous years. There has been a trend this year for jewellery brands to shun trade shows in favour of intimate private events. Pianegonda, for example, decided not to exhibit at Vicenza earlier this year, choosing to welcome buyers to its headquarters near to the show.
