  • “Over the span of its 125 year history, the ABERFELDY distillery has consistently produced the highest quality single malt whisky, setting the gold standard for the category. Known as ‘the golden dram’ for the alluvial gold found in its water source, the Pitilie Burn, I’ve partnered with ABERFELDY to create bespoke pieces inspired by the distillery in celebration of this significant milestone.

    Proudly, we include the Talisman Pendant in the capsule collection for Aberfeldy.”

  • “As an apprentice I had the pleasure of witnessing this stone being cut by Erwin Springrunn, the late master lapidary and goldsmith. His focus was to create beauty; he could have made three easily saleable stones from rough of this size, but Erwin’s only concern was to create the most beautiful piece possible. I remember enquiring about the price, he looked at me over his half-moon glasses & said ‘not yet Nigel, but in time’. Years later, I had the opportunity to see if I could take this stone to the next level, to develop a piece around it, that does not take away from its beauty but enhances its legacy even further. “

  • “This partnership emerged from our mutual values of nature, excellence, and meticulous craftsmanship. As Stephanie Macleod, ABERFELDY’s MALT MASTER , eloquently puts it: ‘The walls of our charming distillery are steeped in history and heritage, standing testament to a tradition of whisky making stretching back over generations. We have the honour of balancing past, present and future in every bottle of ABERFELDY to create the consistent premium quality and taste people enjoy around the world.’

    Just as ABERFELDY whisky is a testament to centuries of tradition and passion, our jewellery immortalises their legacy in a beautiful collection.”
