SILK MANTUA
This beautiful 20 carat Madagascan heliodor was hand-selected by the Boodles design team to perfectly complement the yellow silk embroidery of an 18th-century silk mantua. Like the mantua itself, every detail of the ring has been considered, with teal sapphires and brilliant-cut diamonds adorning the setting of this impressive cocktail ring.

RAVEN'S WATCH
This suite is inspired by the shape of the feathers and the symbolism of the ravens at the Tower of London. Gaze at Jubilee, Chaos or Georgie – three of the Tower's eight corvids – and you'll see a spectrum of colour in their feathers. Dark rhodium has been incorporated into the setting to reflect the deep blue hues of their plumage, capturing their mysterious presence.

RAVEN'S WATCH
King Charles II is said to have decreed that the Tower of London must always be home to at least six ravens, or the Kingdom will fall. There are currently eight ravens, cared for by a dedicated Ravenmaster at the Tower. This suite is inspired by the shape of their feathers and the symbolism of these remarkable birds, featuring carved materials, enamel and labradorite.

RAVEN'S WATCH
Legend has it that if the ravens ever leave the Tower of London, the kingdom will fall. With feathers that flash shades of purple, grey and blue, Boodles has captured their shifting colours in sapphires, opals, blue enamel and dark rhodium, evoking their almost otherworldly presence.
