Behind the label: Hannah Warner

This young up-and-coming designer from the British Channel Islands studied jewellery at London Metropolitan University followed by a stint in New York, at the Gemological Institute of America. Her pieces often incorporate natural elements - coral, shell, bone and precious stones, many of which are from India and East Asia.

the brand's pieces are pretty but with a hint of goth and not outrageously priced. A-listers such as Gwyneth Paltrow and Kelis have worn Warner's designs, which have cross-gender appeal: men have been snapping up some of her bulkier pieces.

we're fans of the gold bangle with the inverted skulls (below; HK$2,500) and the unfinished look of the tanzanite coral crater necklace (right; HK$2,600).
