With her “Legacy” collection, Scottish designer Ellis Mhairi Cameron introduces new shapes and colors to her line of hand carved and cast jewelry. Reverse-set grey, yellow and white baguette diamonds glimmer across her rings, earrings and necklaces like stones embedded in the earth.
Amongst the new Ellis Mhairi Cameron pieces are several new styles of rings, including the Yellow Diamond Legacy Cocktail Ring. This piece features a stunning oval yellow diamond, surrounded by a halo of white baguette and brilliant-cut diamonds. The gemstones are set deep into the gold—a nod to Ellis Mhairi Cameron’s inspiration from uncovering buried treasure.
Influenced by objects unearthed on her grandparents’ farmland including a 17th century necklace and a fragments of a 16th century locket—Ellis Mhairi Cameron’s jewelry reflects her connection to her ancestors and the West Highlands.
“For these pieces, I wanted to explore the feeling of discovery—that moment when digging in the landscape, a glint of something special catches in your eye, and a piece of history is excavated from the earth.” – Ellis Mhairi Cameron
