- Naked SquareThis collection presents us with a creative way of rethinking how to wear classic diamond jewellery. Inspired by Myriam’s love of geometry, the square architecture presents us with a range that uses the smallest gems available, set by hand in an effort to show exquisite craftsmanship.

From glamour to unconventional, classic to modern edge, their understated elegance caters to womens’ needs and tastes. Cutting edge and thoroughly original, her work is inspired by modern architecture and the less is more philosophy. Fashion, architecture and sculptural art all rolled in one. The pieces in this collection could be the main talking point of any outfit rather than the finishing touch.
