From designing jewellery for Elton John to partnering with the visionary Alexander McQueen on unforgettable runway pieces, for the latest installment from a Power of a Diamond we have partnered with The Leopards, a like-minded group of British designers and jewellery professionals who have come together to celebrate the wonder, awe and creativity that jewellery inspires.

Solange Azagury-Partridge is one of Britain’s most celebrated, self-taught female designers, known for her eclectic, witty and colourful fine jewellery. Here she is in conversation with one of her fellow Leopards, Carol Woolton, talking about the glamour and allure of jewellery.
