Introducing Anthology: A Collection of Considered Essentials

Inspired by the desert here in Kuwait, Aubade’s in-house brand spotlights brown diamonds in a buildable collection of essential hoops, rings and bracelets, designed to mix and match.
“There’s something about the perfect hoop, that you never want to take off,” says Duha Al-Ramadhan, Aubade Founder and CEO. “It’s a staple that can easily take you from pilates to dinner. We had to get it right in terms of weight, size and finish.” The hoop earring was the first piece she designed together with Harriet Lindsay, Aubade Buying and Brand Director, for Anthology, the company’s new in-house line. From a single earring came a concise capsule of jewelry box essentials.
Designed to be lived-in and feel modern, the collection includes hoops, rings and bracelets in 18k gold. Certain pieces have been created around soft, curved form, like a twisted gold bangle, or a perfectly proportioned minimalist gold band. Others are scattered with warm-toned diamonds, or encrusted in mixed-size brown stones to harness diamond sparkle in a new, softer way. “The pieces are designed entirely by us,” says Harriet. “Once we have a clear vision, we work with CAD artists who translate our drawings into the final model, then each piece is handcrafted in a workshop in Italy.” Duha and Harriet are hands-on during the process, and personally pick the stones to be used.
At the heart of the collection, are brown and warm-toned diamonds, in tribute to the desert landscape of Kuwait, where the brand’s roots lie. The stones began as a collection signature, and now, whether dotted across gleaming gold, or accentuating form through pave, they have become an integral part of Anthology’s singular design language. Alongside gold, some pieces are rimmed with custom brown plating, designed to create depth and contrast, further accentuating the natural light and tones within the diamonds. The overall impression is of an understated and wearable collection with its own distinctive details.
After 13 years in the industry with Aubade, the idea of an in-house capsule came naturally. Harriet adds, “As buyers, we’ve spent years looking at jewelry and have a clear understanding of what’s missing in the market. So we decided to make those pieces ourselves, using everything we’ve learned through years of buying, selling and listening to our clients.” The result is an intentional collection, with each piece having a reason to be a part of it. “The idea isn’t to constantly add newness, but to slowly build a considered library of pieces that feel like Anthology.”
“ Anthology was created with our modern muses, our clients in mind. Ultimately, it’s for them. “
New jewels will be added as the team learns what clients gravitate the most naturally to, making sure every piece feels considered. “Anthology was created with our modern muses, our clients in mind,” finishes Duha. “They are the women who have always inspired us and continue to do so after all these years. Ultimately, it’s for them.”
