The silhouette invites intrigue and caution with its beauty, most evident in the Hook earring. Dressing the beautiful yet vulnerable neck, the line is angled & tapered, with a protective quality to it.

*Knife edge is an ancient technique that Shaun learned about in the early days of his apprenticeship, when restoring antique pieces, from Victorian to Art Deco.

Leane explored working with lines in earlier Alexander McQueen Catwalk shows. The famous Grille Collar was created for La Dame Bleue – SS’08, and made in aluminium.

Grille Collar is Shaun Leane the artist - in the abstract. Grille Collar creates the sense of an optical illusion. A metal grille, comprised of 15 aluminium tubes, forming a visor-like linear structure, it appears as if suspended above the body.

Leane’s symphony of symmetrical lines echo the severity of McQueen’s sharp shoulders, and fine-boned corsetry; but hover above, never touching flesh nor fabric. Instead, the metal frame envelopes the torso, seamlessly becoming part of the garment. 

In Armis, the repetition of a line creates a waterfall of fine white gold and diamond light. These complex structures reflect our strength & tenacity, our multi-faceted personalities and the multiplicity of roles we take on today.

In Armis we see the strength in numbers, not just volume, with so many lines coming together to create these architectural forms. They are symbolic – one line alone is isolated and fragile, but multiple lines signal strength and protection.

There is a dazzling fluidity and movement to Armis, owing to these layered lines. Between the shimmer and shadow, the way the light bounces and plays with the gold and diamonds is mesmerizing.

The Sabre silhouette shows the beauty and simplicity of form. A sharp clean directional silhouette inspired by a line, with an undeniable strength of presence. Daring & provocative.

Our Sabre Fine earrings capture the light with the movement of the wearer. Dynamic & dramatic, they frame but never overpower.

The WOW factor, all 6.64 carat of it, arises from the double row of graduated diamonds from top to tip, on both sides of the central knife edge, creating beautifully framed facets.

The 66mm length makes quite the impact.

Hooked Pearl is about precious metal organic forms, and how they protects the fragile beautiful pearl. The silhouette of the ring resembles a precious metal cage – through which you can admire and view the pearl – but you cannot reach it.

Rounded wire, shaped, graduated and arc’ed to a rounded point, is Leane exploring Line and making it feel organic. This was a chance to break with tradition & change the perception of how pearls were seen. They were rarely on their own, suspended, floating or embellished with precious metal. The encasing resembles a layer of protection, concealing something precious, that you can see, but you cannot touch.

These refined pointed forms create an intimate space for the pearl to luxuriate in. A precious ensnaring, where the Pearl is the centre of attention - peeping out.

Arc was born out of the desire to create an everyday bangle. One that felt like an old friend, a piece you didn't have to style. Generous proportions deliver weight, and a clean minimalist design that just works.

The manner in which it graduates, in a somewhat hurried fashion, a precise perfect point that still retains the volume – is unmistakably Shaun Leane.

The Prowess Sapphire Ring’s contemporary setting and exotic beauty is held in a balance by a sleek, architectural design. Think, Leane’s distinct fearlessness with couture elegance. Leane uses jewellery to signal our taste for change, with a high-contrast of hybrid materials; his choice of platinum gives the Prowess Sapphire Ring a polished, technological feel.

The clean, fluid silhouette of the Prowess Sapphire Ring diffuses opulent colour and sharp lines; reminiscent of Art Deco designs of the 1920s and 30s. The ring’s wow factor is it’s glittering sea-blue jewel, evoking talismanic properties, a source of protection when worn.

Crafted from platinum and pavé set with more than 170 royal blue sapphires, the Prowess Sapphire Ring exquisite centrepiece is a magnificent 10.53 carat sapphire of striking size and beauty. Leane’s meticulous placement of the central sapphire is just so that its many facets capture and disperse light from all angles.
