is the ultimate destination for the world's most

extraordinary items. "Brilliant" showcases the finest diamond jewellery

considered to be innovative one-off pieces. It is structured into four artistic

disciplines –

. The exhibition is geared

Bochic jewellery (known for its work with Karolina Kurkova, Angelina Jolie,

Salma Hayek, Rihanna, Scarlett Johannson, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Chastain

and more) has been chosen as one of the 25 best of the best designers from

around the world. In honour of "Brilliant" British born designer and Creative

Director David A Joseph created a collection labelled

"

Caged Beauty." The 2012

Bochic "Caged Beauty" collection encapsulates the far-East meets Moscow—the

Bochic woman's journey on the Trans-Siberian railway. Inspired by the historic

Silk Road which was known for connecting trade routes between

Asia

, Eastern

and

Western Europe

, there are hand crafted elements like miniature carved

mammoth ivory figurines, illuminated by gilded cages of oxidized gold and

diamonds – illustrating how the trade activities brought together cultures that

would otherwise have stayed separate much longer, and the allure of new

discovery through her eyes. The cages are a metaphor of the Bochic woman

who is being seduced by the visuals outside the train windows.

Diamonds are timeless. By employing them in an updated way - by mixing

different cuts and colours - I can highlight other materials, thereby making the

design the main event. Diamonds are most intriguing to me in their organic

state, just as you would find them in nature and along the route of the Silk-

Road. They still have their brilliance, but are more mysterious and captivating.

—David Joseph, Creative Director –

According to Carol Woolton:

"With the Queen's Diamond Jubilee putting a

spotlight on the Crown Jewels and historic Royal Regalia, "Brilliant" will show

how diamonds, imbued with their own billion year old history and majestic role

in Britain's heritage, remain relevant in our modern lives and at the forefront of

ground-breaking contemporary design."

launched exclusively with Annoushka for the UK market - both online at
