Chef, TV personality, entrepreneur and novelist Dame Prue Leith, known for her love of big, colourful statement jewellery, has launched a new, exclusive handmade resin jewellery collection with Zsiska, which will unveiled at Scotland’s trade show (20-21 August), Autumn Fair (3-6 September) and Top Drawer (10–12 September).
The exclusive Prue by Zsiska collaboration, which features 224 pieces, encapsulates Prue’s love for vibrant and unique jewellery. “All my long life I’ve collected necklaces from all over the world, mostly from market stalls or craft fairs, occasionally from designers’ workshops, often made from recycled materials like rubber offcuts, paper, plastic bags, even ring-pulls from coke cans,” explains Prue. “But when I got to know Zsiska, my obsession took a new turn. Arranging coloured beads in original ways is huge fun, and we decided we’d make a Prue collection.”
Prue by Zsiska features five striking collections named after Greek goddesses – Aphrodite, Calypso, Diana, Minerva and Persephone – with each exploring a different inspiration and style of bead.
Founded by Dutch jewellery designer Siska Schippers in 1992 in Thailand, Zsiska is renowned for 100% handmade resin jewellery inspired by art and nature, with all pieces unique.
