Our vintage collection of jewels and accessories are handpicked on our travels.
They are chosen for their rarity, beauty and offer a unique choice for those who love fashion forward accessories.
Our designs are inspired by ancient Roman jewels, classical myths and our love of art.
Each Olympia jewel is lovingly handmade using antique jewellery making techniques in the finest metals and gems, making each pair special and unique.
A decadent collection of fine vintage gems from a bygone era, this very special curation of sustainably sourced, rare heirloom pieces - many of which are the only of their kind in existence - includes treasures from a variety of eras spanning Georgian, Art Deco, Rococo and more.
Each piece is crafted in solid gold or platinum, set with precious diamonds, emeralds, opals, sapphires, and other fine stones.

The Launch Event - Key Moments
Last week, we celebrated the launch of our pop up with a VIP shopping night,
with thanks to Perrier Jouet for the libations and Little Wolf Catering for the divine platter.
Those who have already visited our pop up may have also noticed a shiny accessory that's a little larger than those we usually have in stock...
Within our pop up we feel very fortunate to have what is possibly the rarest rare artefact we have ever had on display - a beautiful piece of history that is worth coming in to view alone.
Car 'two' of the Jaguar XKSS continuation currently sits in the foyer and will remain in store with us for the duration of our pop up.
For those interested in the history lesson, 1957, Jaguar launched the XKSS as a road-going version of the Le Mans-winning D-Type racer. Jaguar had planned to have 25 manufactured in total, but only 16 were made before the factory was destroyed in a fire.
In 2017, Jaguar Classic embarked on a special project to create the outstanding 9 cars, exactly to the specifications of the original 1957 model, bar a safer, stronger fuel tank and more modern battery.
Though it is officially car 'two' of the collection on display, it is actually the first one to have been completed.
A perfect marriage of old and new, the Jaguar XKSS has been kindly loaned to us on behalf of Michael Giltrap to Love and Object, in celebration of the Design55 Holiday Pop Up experience.

See you soon, lovers.

Just a couple of weeks ago we launched 'The Edit', enabling lovers of the unique and covetable to purchase special objects for the home, in addition to the wardrobe.
In celebration of the new addition to our offering and in anticipation of a stormy, cosy weekend inside ahead, we've rounded up a few of our favourite instagram accounts of the interior persuasion that will be keeping us inspired while we're based indoors...
MOREIn celebration of our new collection launch this week, we sat down with the founder of Grace and Flora, Hannah Low to ask her a few questions about her particular style, how she got into the floristry industry, her prediction on floral trends to come and what she loves the most about the Grace & Flora x Love and Object collaboration.
MOREWhether you're travelling to another area of the country or simply from the bedroom to the lounge this long weekend, we've rounded up our must-have items to make it a mini-break fit for a queen.
MOREAlongside cosy wines by the fire, romantic rainy evening dates and, most excitingly, ski-season, with the incoming cold season comes new opportunities to think outside the box when it comes to dressing.
As the temperature continues to drop, we've been looking to sartorial inspiration which has us reaching for our jewellery box just as much, if not more so than we do during the warmer months.
For us this winter it's all about layering, embellishing and making the most of our favourite accessories in new and unexpected ways. If you're in need of a little inspo this season, take a look at our a round up of looks that have caught our eye recently below... x
