The Dictator | Where to shop for the ultimate long white skirt for summer; honeycomb pattern jewellery

The Dictator rules: Who cares? Granted, hexagonal honeycomb patterns were a hipster favourite in 2013, a prime example being the Skein series by architect Zaha Hadid for Swiss jeweller Caspita. The capsule collection, which is still available, includes hexagonal lattice rings and cuff bracelets in 18-carat white, yellow or rose gold, some with pavé diamonds (HK$78,000 and up; latestrevival.com).

If you invest in extraordinary jewellery, it will usually stand the test of time. If it doesn’t, you can always have the precious materials reused in new ways, though you wouldn’t want to melt down a technical masterpiece like one of Italian jeweller Buccellati’s honeycomb-textured Tulle designs (HK$140,500 and up; buccellati.com), inspired by a 1620 Bartolomeo Corsini portrait. Yup, honeycomb has fascinated designers for centuries. Chaumet, once jeweller to Napoleon, puts the French emperor’s signature bee motif into many of its pieces, including the Bee My Love collection of hexagonal band rings in 18-carat white, yellow or rose gold with or without diamonds (HK$6,288 and up; chaumet.com).

London jeweller Astley Clarke offers an extensive Honeycomb collection of ear­rings, rings, bracelets and neck­laces in sterling silver, 14-carat gold or diamond-pavé rose gold (HK$780 to HK$20,320; astleyclarke.com). Bridget King Jewelry has drop honeycomb earrings in various materials, such as black silver and dia­monds (HK$5,936; plukka.com) and 18-carat rose gold with diamonds (HK$11,715).

For those not wanting to spend a lot, there are hundreds of cute honeycomb options on Etsy.com.
