FA News Network - Missoma’s new Winter 07 collection sees the launch of the Brand’s first 18ct gold plated range. The shapes range from stylised peacock inspired drops to more organic designs, but they are all inset or hand beaded with vibrant colour combinations of precious and semi-precious stones for which Missoma has become recognised.

Missoma’s designs have been influenced by the vivid colours seen in the works of Impressionists such as Gaugin and the Russian avant-garde artists of the early 20th century, and inspired by travels to countries with such rich cultures as Mexico, India, Morocco and Thailand. The brand’s aim has been to create distinctive pieces that emphasise their clientele’s individuality and flair.

The colours used for next season sees amethyst teardrops surrounded by peridots and green tourmalines, tanzanite combined with sapphires, amethyst and turquoise, smokey quartz offset by deep iolites and pale blue topaz, whilst turquoise and opals are given depth by grey-hued pearls and black onyx. There are also multi-coloured clusters of appatite, green onyx, amethyst, pink sapphire, ruby and black onyx to name but a few of the unique and exotic colour ranges used in this collection.

Missoma is fast becoming an established and much sought after fashion jewellery label with a loyal and ever-growing fan-base both at home in the UK (where they are stocked in Harrods and Harvey Nichols amongst other high-end fashion and jewellery boutiques) as well as abroad. Missoma jewellery is now stocked in Paris, St. Tropez, Milan and Geneva as well as in the Middle East, the US, Germany, Spain and Greece. Website: http://www.missoma.com
