Paradis, nods to the concept of heaven and how it has been represented in art and design since ancient times.

Translating to ‘heaven’ in French, Paradis is a showcase of opulent minimalism, sought-after styles to adorn the neck, ears and fingers.

This bold new collection sees the daring, directional introduction of strong and striking colour in the form of lapis lazuli, a deep-blue metamorphic rock that has been celebrated as a semi-precious stone since antiquity.

“Lapis is a new stone for us,” says Meadowlark designer and co-founder Claire Hammon. “While we were searching for a particular stone, the bright blue lapis strands caught our eye and became the muse for this collection.”

“We have become obsessed with the vibrant lapis blue, which is also reminiscent of artist Yves Klein and his distinctive and intense brilliant-blue paint hue, and whose art has then inspired the entire collection.”

“We have taken the simplest form of the round lapis and added them to our minimal hoops in a small size and an oversized option. And again with the Maya necklaces, two sizes for two moods. The Maya ring is a sleek flat signet-style ring with a beautiful cabochon centre stone.

The micro lapis styles, which give a nod to (and look great with) our much-loved micro pearl pieces.”

In perfect complement, the Hera styles are informed by the popular Solaire pieces from the previous collection, a luxe reimagining of the fluid lines in a smoother and bolder option.

Decadently chunky rings which feel distinctly modern and vintage at the same time, hollowed-out hoops in large and medium styles, which feel super 80s but new, and finishing with the Hera double hoop earrings, which are designed for a single piercing but give the illusion of two piercings. The statement-making Hera cuff, also for a single piercing, has an extra hoop to sit inside the ear to create a sculptural yet minimal form.
