1 3 4 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I T he Shamballa Jewels brand traces a wonderful story of passion and commitment from two brothers with a mission to spread well being. And spread it has – In just 12 years their Eastern inspired jewellery collections have become a cultural phenomenon around the world. Shamballa’s instantly recognisable bracelets and necklaces can be spotted on stylish movers and shakers from New York to Shanghai, London to Paris, and everywhere in between. Mads and Mikkel Kornerup dreamt up the idea for a spiritual fine jewellery business at home in Denmark, with a vision of integrating spiritual symbols in jewellery and making them personal through customization. “We shine the brightest when we share compa ssion and smiles”, CEO Mikkel says, and this infectious good nature is imbued in the company spirit. This year Shamballa Jewels launches the Special Creations collection. Admirers of this unique brand have enjoyed the endless opportunities of combining diamonds, gems and precious stones to create stunning jewellery pieces. Now, Shamballa takes the jewellery collections one step further by offering extremely valuable and distinctive designs that represent extraordinary individuality in the true spirit of Shamballa Jewels. The Special Creations collection is a line of unique pieces that are created using a range of the rarest and finest stones nature has to offer, collected and treasured for more than a decade, and now brought to life through one-of-a-kind designs and combinations. We can behold rare Argyle pink diamonds found in the faraway wilderness of the rock desert of North West Australia through to the highly sought after Colombian Emeralds from South America. The Special Creations collection embodies the most treasured stones from all corners of the world. One of the most valuable stones in the collection is a coloured blue diamond which is among the rarest on Earth – truly a unique, natural marvel. The 0.61 ct. Fancy Intense Blue Radiant Diamond is set in an iconic 18 karat gold Shamballa Bracelet as the centre stone, with a crest of 11 rare, brilliant-cut Argyle Pink Diamonds, and the whole design is orchestrated together with aquamarine beads in a milky blue tone. All Special Creations are named and marked with an individual number, and come with a handmade archival folder containing the original real scale design drawing in pencil and gouache. A signed certificate of authenticity accompanies the set, handwritten by an artisan from the Special Creations Atelier at Shamballa Jewels. In the true spirit of Shamballa Jewels the collection is handmade in the most superior quality, the highest excellence in craftsmanship and with an air of exclusivity that only one-of-a-kind pieces can offer. With a Special Creation in your personal jewellery collection, you will own something that is infinitely individual. Like a precious snowflake, there is nothing else quite like it on Earth.
