The suites in this collection take their inspiration from a number of different paintings, all of which are found at the National Gallery. The tones of Monet’s Water-Lilies, Setting Sun, about 1907, are reflected in our multi-gemstone collar and earrings, evoking an experimental approach to capturing the modulations of light as it transforms water. Boodles designers also responded to the distinctive zigzag pattern on the water’s surface in Lake Keitele, 1905 by Akseli Gallen-Kallela, now mirrored by rows of marquise cut diamonds. Bars of diamonds and sapphires reflect the bold dabs of colours found in Seurat’s The Morning Walk, 1885. Whereas Pierre-August Renoir’s Moulin Huet Bay, Guernsey, about 1883 –with its bright sea blues and lemony sparkles were the impetus behind the corresponding bangle, pendant, ring and earrings.
