Lydia Hearst on her love of fine jewellery

Fashion forward jeweller Lara Bohinc has created a new architectural range of baubles using the rare metal, Palladium; a lustrous white metal desired by jewellery designers for its unique features – being light and strong. (And super rare). To celebrate the launch we caught up with Lydia Hearst – who modelled the collection for the lookbook – find out more . . .

Lydia Hearst: ‘I love London, so that was a huge benefit to me, to come back here [to shoot it] and the designs really are just so exquisite. They’re large pieces, but they’re so incredibly unique. Each one has been so intricately made.

Lydia Hearst: I absolutely love them. Although they’re heavy-looking and strong, when you put them on, they’re light and feminine. Just like a woman, I suppose.

Lydia Hearst: Usually I’m working, so I don’t get to do very much. I stay in Soho and I love walking around there and going to museums. One of my favourite places is the Sir John Soane museum. It’s so eclectic and fascinating, the way he collected pieces from all over the world, and really covered his house with his collection. And I love getting tea at the Wallace collection.
