/PRNewswire/ --

'The Palladium Jewellery Collection by Lara Bohinc'

International Palladium Board is proud to announce Lara Bohinc as its latest

inspirational partner for 2012. A luxury jewellery designer, Lara Bohinc has

designed two palladium ranges to launch in July; The Palladium Fine Jewellery

Collection by Lara Bohinc and The Palladium Collision Collection by Lara Bohinc,

both demonstrating the desirable metal's luxury appeal. Available exclusively

from Harrods and Lara Bohinc, both collections will showcase her vision and

creative exploration of the contemporary precious metal's key properties of

lightness and strength.

The Palladium Fine Jewellery Collection by Lara Bohinc is an exclusive range

inspired by architectural structures. The strong palladium structure

incorporates several hundred diamonds on each piece and protects delicate

South Sea pearls. The collection features five distinct and luxurious pieces; a

cuff, choker, earrings, ring and pendant necklace. The seven carat choker is a

true statement piece, the curved upper neckline secures a bold orb pendant.

Earrings and a pendant necklace mirror this defining spherical form and the

architectural inspiration is further showcased by the beautiful structure of

palladium that frames the large five carat cuff.

The Palladium Collision Collection by Lara Bohinc includes a ring, pendant and

studs, true to her signature designs and is an evolution of her iconic aesthetic in

palladium. Drawing inspiration from the tension of tectonic plates, the cleanly

metallic split-hemisphere exterior is underscored by a black onyx inner. This

split-hemisphere motif is featured on a pendant and stud earring of irresistible

delicacy, whilst creating a remarkable variation with the Double Collision ring, in

which the two split spheres of onyx and palladium join together to complete the

band.

"Palladium has empowered me to design a bold and luxurious collection,"

comments Lara Bohinc. "The lattice formation provides strength whilst allowing

for the illumination of the pearls. I have thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of

working with an unexplored and pioneering new metal, one that has broadened

the potential for my future collections."

"Lara Bohinc has intelligently interpreted palladium and its unique properties,"

Brad Mills, Chairman, International Palladium Board comments. "We are proud

to unveil Lara as our fine jewellery partner and her outstanding designs are

sure to inspire the jewellery world to consider palladium as the contemporary

precious metal of the future."

The International Palladium Board and Lara Bohinc collaboration is part of the

'Palladium Visions' campaign, which will see the International Palladium Board

working with some of the world's most visionary artists, designers and jewellers

throughout 2012.

The International Palladium Board is dedicated to establishing palladium as the

contemporary precious metal of the future. Palladium is a beautiful, lustrous

white metal desired by jewellery designers for its unique features - rarity,

lightness and strength. It is the most recent precious metal to be hallmarked.

Notes to Editors:

Palladium

From the Greek name 'Pallas', Goddess of Wisdom, palladium was discovered

by the British chemist William Hyde Wollaston in 1803. Its superior attributes of

lightness and strength allow more intricate jewellery to be created, capable of

bearing larger gemstones. Palladium gets its whiteness and lustre from nature;

this purity makes it hypoallergenic, and it will not tarnish.
