Larkspur & Hawk’s founder and dressmaker, Emily Satloff, loves vintage jewellery up to we do – and I don’t say that evenly, my darlings.
Her newest unlock, Larkspur & Hawk‘s Luzia Assortment, is an homage to at least one specific class of vintage jewellery, a mode and starting place that makes maximum creditors of 18th century types vulnerable on the knees: vintage Portuguese jewels.
Using subtly shimmering, foiled-back gem stones is Larkspur & Hawk’s aesthetic signature. The method may be very extraordinary to seek out in recent designs and it’s any other signal of dressmaker Satloff’s hobby for mixing the original great thing about vintage jewellery with fashionable design rules to create cushy, romantic, totally unforgettable new types.
Have a look at the luxurious, beautiful gem stones of the Luzia Assortment – they glow like dawn suffusing morning mist. Mild, inexorable, beautiful.
An avid collector of 18th century Portuguese jewellery, Satloff named her newest assortment Luzia, this means that “glowing mild” in Portuguese. She may be very transparent that her objective is to reimagine, no longer reproduce:
“Although one sought after to, it could be a futile process to try to recreate what some consider to be the best examples of 18th century jewellery. As with a lot artwork from the previous, its attractiveness and greatness stays within the arms of time, and authentic, duration examples will have to proceed to be wanted and admired.
Alternatively, as a dressmaker and lover of historical past, it’s concept upsetting to pay homage to sure sides of vintage jewellery in my fashionable designs.”

The Luzia Assortment is surprising. Softly sparkling foiled gem stones be offering a large number of dreamy colour combos with foiled lemon quartz, foiled citrines, and foiled lavender moon quartz accented with diamonds, rainbow moonstones, sapphires and tsavorites for additonal vibrancy and sparkle.
The foiled lemon quartz resembles chrysoberyl, a favourite subject matter in 18th century Portuguese jewels, whilst the foiled citrine resembles Imperial topaz and the foiled lavender moon quartz conjures up opaline glass. All encouraged by way of the previous, however the use of its design components to create one thing contemporary and new.
The necklaces are the hero items (particularly the extraordinarily easy-to-love cushion oval necklace within the first photograph above, which I’m demise to possess) however I in truth suppose the earrings are going to be the most well liked a part of the gathering.
To be had in a variety of designs from easy dangling drops to Queen Anne-inspired clusters to very large, colourful hoops, any pair of the Luzia Assortment earrings are destined to turn out to be a favourite of their long term proprietor’s jewellery rotation. The dreaminess of the foiled gem stones is incomparably beautiful and looks lit from inside of, flickering with cushy fairy luminescence in any environment.
Simply take a look at those gently iridescent pinks and purples. In the event that they don’t name in your interior rock-collecting goblin self, I don’t know what to turn you.
I’ve been partial to Larkspur & Hawk’s paintings for an extended very long time, however I’ve by no means written an entire weblog publish about them till now. The Luzia Assortment used to be in order that beautiful that I couldn’t withstand! A worthy tribute to a distinct segment class of vintage jewellery that holds a different position in a lot of our hearts.
What do you recall to mind the Luzia Assortment, my darlings? Do the necklaces name to you prefer they name to me, or is it the earrings that catch your eye?
