PEARLS & POMEGRANATES

This was a hugely joyful project to work on, the client came to me asking for a full visual identity for her new business - an e-commerce platform for luxury independent jewellers to showcase and sell their work.

​

The name was borne from the client falling in love with the Oscar Wilde book - The Nightingale & the Rose. One of the lines in the book reads, "surely Love is a wonderful thing. It is more precious than emeralds, and dearer than fine opals. Pearls and pomegranates cannot buy it, nor is it set forth in the marketplace. It may not be purchased of the merchants, nor can it be weighed out in the balance for gold." 

​

The brand icon is a simple, geometric and stylish representation of the nightingale and the rose, and I had a lot of fun with typography for the the brand, the idea being we used lines of the book to create a pattern for printed tissue paper etc.
