In an enchanting fusion of heritage and innovation, Asprey is set to unveil a remarkable new chapter in its ongoing collaboration with Princess Nourah Al-Faisal, the visionary force behind Nuun Jewels. Following the celebrated release of their capsule collection of bags in July 2023, this latest partnership reimagines Asprey’s iconic Feather Jewellery Collection, transforming tradition into wearable art that dances with delight.

“I knew I had to push creativity to new heights”

The original Feather Collection by Asprey is steeped in regal symbolism, drawing inspiration from royal heraldry. Its designs echo the elegance of the feathers adorning the Prince of Wales badge, where three white ostrich feathers emerge from a gold coronet, a testament to Asprey’s esteemed two-century association with the British Royal Family. Princess Nourah’s reinterpretation infuses this lineage with fresh vision, capturing the delicate movement of feathers in unexpected and breathtaking ways. Her passion for graphic art provides a unique lens, allowing her to shift away from traditional interpretations and embrace a more contemporary ethos.

“I’ve woven in elements of Art Deco, a style close to my heart and integral to both Nuun and Asprey’s design languages,” she explains. “Blending these classic influences with avant-garde concepts has been a fascinating journey.”

This avant-garde spirit shines through in the innovative use of materials. Coloured titanium meets an exquisite palette of gemstones, ranging from the most delicate hues to rich, saturated tones. The collection showcases an interplay of colours, from pale pink sapphires and morganite to pastel yellow diamonds, each piece narrating its own unique story while harmonizing with the collection’s overall aesthetic.

Creating such intricate designs required Nuun’s craftsmen to develop new techniques, ensuring each piece maintained its structural integrity while capturing the envisioned delicate beauty. The result is a collection that not only showcases extraordinary craftsmanship—from meticulous metalwork to delicate stone setting, assembly, and polishing—but also pushes the boundaries of high jewellery design.

John Rigas, Chairman of Asprey, expresses his admiration for the ongoing collaboration: “We are honoured to continue our collaboration with Princess Nourah, whose visionary approach and dedication to craftsmanship align perfectly with Asprey’s values. This collection not only showcases her visionary creativity but also exemplifies Asprey’s relentless pursuit of excellence and beauty through innovation and tradition.”

The Asprey x Nuun Feather Collection comprises 13 unique pieces, each available for bespoke orders in various colours and metal combinations. From rings and earrings to bracelets—and a statement necklace set to be revealed in 2025—this collection will be available exclusively at select Asprey boutiques and at nuun.com starting September 2024.

Each piece in the collection is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship and innovative spirit of both brands. The collaboration seamlessly blends the heritage and tradition of Asprey with the bold creativity and modern aesthetic of Nuun Jewels, resulting in a timeless and contemporary collection.
The Feather Collection’s reinterpretation perfectly reflects Princess Nourah’s artistic journey, where every piece captures the essence of serenity and elegance embodied by the feather motif. This collaboration is not just a melding of two distinct design philosophies, but a celebration of the endless possibilities when tradition meets innovation.
