Kailis Australian Pearls has launched a jewellery collection incorporating the “centuries old art of Guilloché”. Announcing the upcoming launch of the Enlightenment Collection, Kailis general manager Mark Majzner said it was the first Australian luxury jewellery brand to incorporate Guilloché in its designs.
“The Enlightenment Collection represents innovation – an enlightenment in the design of fine pearl jewellery.”
Guilloché is a detailed and time-consuming craft which combines delicate hand-engraved patterns of geometric lines on precious metals with layers of hand-painted coloured translucent enamel. The original hand-engraved patterns are then machine-engraved to “mass produce” the finished product.
Majzner said “the contours of the Guilloché elements” in the Enlightenment Collection are “designed to capture and reflect light from the engraving beneath the coloured enamel, perfectly off-setting the beauty of pearls and diamonds.
He said the Enlightenment Collection, which features Guilloché spheres, domes and discs in three colours (Day Break, Mediterranean Blue and Aurora Green), will be marketed via a print and digital campaign nationally and cinema and outdoor in Perth.
