    Masriera unveils two epic collections.
Crafted in the rich glow of 18k yellow gold and encrusted with brilliant cut diamonds, rubies and aquamarines, these majestic array of necklaces, pendant chains, earrings, rings and brooches come alive with the brilliant hues of durable fire enamel handmade from start to finish, according to a secret process handed down through the Masriera workshops. The complex nature of its production and the brilliant end result are what distinguish the renowned brand.

Mr. Oriol Oliveras, Managing Director of Bagues Masriera, said, "Masriera's jewels are characterized by a meticulous eye for detail, impeccable craftsmanship and the use of finest precious materials like gold and diamonds, to which its unique fire enamel technique adds a crowning touch of true distinction. Its mastery of the plique-a-jour technique of translucent enamel work sees Masriera recreate the visual delight of light suffusing the wings of insects and the softness of a flower's petals, offering one of the most enthralling array of jewels for discerning women."

Mr. Tamjid Abdullah, Deputy Managing Director of Damas Jewellery, said:
"Damas is proud to welcome Masriera to its ever expanding list of world class products. The artistry and exquisite detail of this legendary design house's creations perfectly complement Damas' range of jewellery for discerning affluent clients."


Mystical and magical!



A play of light and shadow, angles and curves highlight the Masriera Deco jewellery collection, inspired by architectural elements and offering finger rings featuring a singular 8-pointed star like a royal insignia, replicated on drop earrings in a disc-like pattern. Its other ring presents a dance of geometry showcasing a stunning 5.36 carat marquise-cut aquamarine centerpiece. While poetic touches transform its statuesque, dramatic drop earrings, boasting two 4.64 carat emerald cut aquamarines and brilliant cut diamonds on 18k yellow gold settings with fire enamel work. One such design can then be strung on a rigid chain as pendant. The classic piece of this collection is definitely its pendant chain featuring a charming Greek goddess fondling a beautiful horse.

To witness its Masriera Art Noveau collection, is to be instantly transported to an ethereal world of winged nymphs and fairies, women insect figures and woodland scenes echoing the charm of Midsummer Night's Dream. Floral, delicate and charming images enrich jewels such as drop earrings, stylized butterfly and insect-women brooches whose wings almost appear to tremble, while blossoms with the softest petals rivet your attention. The collection's magnum opus being its marvelous necklace in cut-out patterns of graceful fronds arching up towards the wearer's neck.

Enthralling, enigmatic, enchanting and ingenious this brand with a lyrical sounding name, offers one of the most stunning collections of jewellery for discerning women today. Discover Masriera's magical Art Deco and Art Noveau collections now available at Damas boutiques.
