Our top picks
DoDo
A recent addition to the carefully curated collection includes Italian eco-conscious jewellery line, DoDo.
DoDo, named after the extinct Mauritian bird, are as well-known in Europe for their unique nature-inspired charm collections as they are their environmental efforts. Through a partnership with Tenaka (and NGO) the brand recently designed a bracelet made entirely of environmentally friendly recycled marine plastic. For every piece sold, all profits are being used to restore an impressive 500m2 of precious coral reefs. Orsini are one of the few exclusive boutiques the limited DoDo collection is currently sold in.
Gucci
Gucci jewellery for women is laced with high-end Italian style, with obvious influence from Alessandro Michele’s opulent vision. House signatures, including feline heads, snakes and of course, the iconic interlocking double G motifs, feature on everything. From drop earrings to engraved cuffs to signature necklaces, Orsini stocks a wide range of both high-end classics and contemporary Gucci jewellery.
