In the hierarchy of jewellery’s prized possessions, gold holds a premier position. Whether worn as a singular statement piece, or as a bold stack of jewels, the obsession with this precious metal is real. Embracing this timeless, boundless allure, EMPHASIS Jewellery has gone beyond traditional craftsmanship with its iconic M collection expansion. For stylist, influencer and singer Mayao, this is music to the ears. He is known for his gender-neutral looks, unique style and for indulging in beautiful things—all of which align with EMPHASIS Jewellery’s intention behind its new release. After all, more is more when it comes to gold.

For centuries, humanity has extolled gold for its remarkable chemical and physical properties while also acknowledging its limitations. EMPHASIS Jewellery delved deeper, uncovering bold new elements and techniques to elevate gold’s inherent appeal and overcome its challenges of being too soft or malleable for fine jewellery. Through innovative craftsmanship and precise digital engraving and cutting techniques, the brand augmented its collection’s multi-dimensional and geometric styles.

The M Collection’s deconstruction of the letter “M” is reimagined in a range of differently toned 18-karat gold with both textured and polished surfaces, intertwined with brilliant diamonds. Undulating angles, refreshing colour combinations and visual contrasts combine to add edge to designs that open up limitless styling possibilities, as admirers like Mayao demonstrate. For example, the tangram puzzle concept, symbolising life’s ever-changing twists and turns and the potential of unexpected breakthroughs, showcases the spirit of pursuit—resonating with both the brand’s mission and Mayao’s influential impact in beauty and fashion.

Standout pieces include the 999 gold diamond ring, which is reminiscent of an architectural masterpiece where irregular lines and faceted geometrics come together. The diamonds are skilfully set in an angular design, ensuring the visual appeal of every turn of your hand. The 999 gold diamond earrings feature the same interplay of geometric shapes and stunning facets, accentuated by dazzling set diamonds. This collection is a true golden jackpot.
