Michael Rider’s debut for Celine in July truly set the mood with layers of chunky gold talismanic charm necklaces and bracelets, and rings on every finger. The shift towards jewellery maximalism could also be found in the statement pendants at the likes of Ralph Lauren and Tory Burch; the stacks of sculptural... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/luxury/jewellery/article/3336483/5-jewellery-maximalists-stacking-bling-leandra-medine-cohen-lori-hirshleifer?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/luxury/jewellery/article/3336483/5-jewellery-maximalists-stacking-bling-leandra-medine-cohen-lori-hirshleifer?utm_source=rss_feed Wed, 17 Dec 2025 21:00:10 +0000 Vincenzo La Torre Vincenzo La Torre This season, luxury houses embrace whimsy and reinvention.
