Having trouble finding a Christmas gift for your old-school, jewellery-collecting friend? Look no further than B.P. de Silva’s latest addition, Old World Charm. With its unique design and intriguing function, this piece will be comparable to no other in your loved one’s collection.
The Old World Charm features a beautiful jewel, crafted in white gold with a sparkling halo of diamonds. But there’s a twist to this seemingly ordinary pendant—it doubles as a customisable wax seal! With its functionality, the charm pays an ode to the long-lived art of letter writing. The concept for this necklace was fondly inspired by a member of the B.P. de Silva team, Shanya’s personal experience with letters. Particularly one involving an elderly man, Mr W, who wrote Shanya a handwritten letter regarding a keepsake for his wife.
Shanya was so moved by this sentiment that it prompted her to work with the B.P. de Silva Team to create this truly impressive fusion of olden tradition and modern innovation, the Old World Charm. The necklace also comes with a Wax Melting Kit (which consists of two wax sticks, a brass spoon for melting the wax, a gold-encased tea light candle and a B.P. de Silva pouch) to urge and incentivise customers to indulge in this nostalgic art.
At a time when dropping a two-syllable text to your loved ones is most people’s primary form of communication, the Old World Charm reminds us of the almost-lost spirit of genuine human connection and encourages us to forge these relationships in a romantic and transcendental way.
