Jewellery House VICKISARGE announces a spectacular new collaboration
with the perennially radiant actress, singer, and icon Vanessa Williams.
Born from a mutual, years-long love affair, this strictly limited-edition collection fuses the
subversive elegance of London’s premier costume-jewellery atelier with the timeless,
showstopping allure of a true American diva.
Comprising 27 distinct styles, this limited-edition collection spans a versatile price range from
£95 to £2,950. The offering is thoughtfully designed to cater to every sartorial mood,
seamlessly shifting from high-octane, bold, crystal-encrusted statement jewels that
command the room, to effortlessly delicate and intricate filigree and chain pieces.
Williams’ relationship with VICKISARGE is deeply rooted; the star has long turned to the
house’s statement pieces to anchor her personal wardrobe, as well as to command the
camera for high-profile red carpets and major television appearances.
This collection, however, marks a profound evolution from muse to maker. Working in
tandem with Creative Director Louis Circe and the VICKISARGE atelier team, Williams fully
immersed herself in the physical art of creation...even learning the somewhat dangerous
craft of soldering alongside the house's master artisans.
“The aesthetic DNA of the collection is unapologetically dramatic, drawing from the bold,
gravity-defying jewels that have featured in Williams’ legendary career.” says Creative
Director Louis Circe.
On the effect she hopes her collection has, Vanessa says: “I want the person wearing these
pieces to feel that grounding sense of classic elegance, but with a bold, dramatic edge that
makes you feel effortlessly unique. It’s about owning your spotlight and feeling absolutely
unforgettable the moment you put it on."
In the ultimate act of personalisation, the colour story is pulled directly from the icon’s own
striking features: a hypnotic, piercing blue mirroring her eyes, contrasted against rich, molten
golden-brown crystals that evoke the warm tones of her hair.
Crafted by hand in the brand’s London workshop, the collection gracefully bifurcates into
three distinct style families, each capturing a different facet of Williams’ sartorial persona:
From the bold Art Deco, to Crystal Butterflies and delicate filigree. The collection features
materials such as:
● 23k Gold Plating
● Swarovski Crystal Components
● Artisanal Filigree
● Hand-Enamelled Stones
Availability
The VICKISARGE x Vanessa Williams collection will be available exclusively at the
VICKISARGE London boutique and online from July 17th. Due to the highly meticulous,
hand-crafted nature of the London atelier's production, the collection is available in strictly
limited quantities.
