The 8-piece capsule collection, Origins, resulting from a tie-up between \u0100ZLEE and Gemfields, is not just attention-grabbing but driven by an underlying narrative of charity. Proceeds from each sale will support communities impacted by the Los Angeles fires.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s yet another creative collaboration between Gemfields and the Los Angeles-based jewellery label \u0100ZLEE: \u2018Origins\u2019, an eight-piece capsule collection inspired by the landscape of Zambia and its famous emeralds.<\/p>\n

Founded in 2015, \u0100ZLEE is the brainchild of Baylee Ann Zwart, who possesses an exceptional talent for blending ancient jewellery-making practices, historical romanticism, and Art Deco architecture to create one-of-a-kind pieces that embody modern luxury.<\/p>\n

The timeless references in these contemporary jewels make them perfect for today\u2019s generation. The fact that they are worn by Emma Watson, Rihanna, Bella and Gigi Hadid, Zo\u00eb Kravitz, and Scarlett Johansson speaks to their ever-growing popularity.<\/p>\n

The capsule collection comprising rings, necklaces, pendant charms and earrings, feature responsibly mined gems from Gemfields\u2019 Kagem mine. The collection is a romantic tribute to the lush green jewels, which evoke a sense of hope and renewal associated with spring.<\/p>\n

Gemfields is a leading responsible miner and marketer of coloured gemstones and the majority owner and operator of both the Kagem emerald mine in Zambia and the Montepuez ruby mine in Mozambique. The company is committed to mining with transparency and integrity, while also funding initiatives that support local community health, education, and livelihoods.<\/p>\n

In a similar vein, \u0100ZLEE, too, creates high-quality jewellery infused with elements of nature and a touch of 1980s glamour.<\/p>\n

Each piece in the new \u2018\u0100ZLEE x Gemfields Origins\u2019 collection was crafted in the brand\u2019s Los Angeles atelier by master jewellers, using recycled 18-karat gold. A portion of proceeds from each sale is being donated to charities supporting efforts to rebuild following the fires that devastated the Los Angeles area at the start of this year. Previous collections by \u0100ZLEE have supported several marine conservation charities.<\/p>\n

Describing the collaboration with Gemfields, Zwart explains: \u201cTo frame the emeralds, I chose our core sculptural element, the staircase, which was inspired by the architecture of ancient structures and pyramids. I explored new iterations, playing with softer profiles of this concept to nod to Zambia\u2019s winding rivers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Many pieces in the Origins collection use a spread of diamond pave to accentuate the beauty of the emeralds, while the lines and shapes of the pieces echo the patterns of Zambia\u2019s mountains and rivers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to have partnered with Gemfields to offer our clients pieces that feature high quality gemstones of trusted provenance,\u201d says Zwart.<\/p>\n

Emily Dungey, Gemfields\u2019 Marketing and Communications Director, states, \u201cThe arrival of spring this year gives reason to seek a talisman for hope, growth and new beginnings, and Gemfields is delighted to partner with \u0100ZLEE, whose clever emerald jewellery pieces offer an appealing choice. There\u2019s a softness and warmth to the gold forms that frame each Zambian emerald, evoking a sense of treasure with unabashed 1980s glamour. The emeralds in each design are well positioned to dance in the light and radiate optimism \u2013 particularly so in the drop earrings \u2013 and these desktop-to-dancefloor, boardroom-to-bar designs almost demand to be enjoyed!\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u0100ZLEE x Gemfields Origins collection ranges from $7,950 to $26,000 and is available on \u0100ZLEE.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
