Beautiful, Darling!!


I recently attended the wedding of close friends, Sally Emslie & Paul Mackenzie. They had chosen the whimsical setting of Darling, in the Namaqualand.  The couple is based in London but with Sally having grown up in SA and Paul’s family being from Yorkshire, England, a wedding celebration was a good excuse to get both worlds to collide under an African sky!

BB worked with Sally to design a strikingly simple engagement ring and wedding band. With strong lines and an interesting combination of smoky Topaz, white gold and diamonds, it perfectly matches Sally’s design style.

Sally also chose two pieces from our new Black Collection for her wedding day. The asymmetrical filigree tiara band and our oversize cuff. The lace pieces worked beautifully with her vintage influenced dress.

There is no doubt that Sally was a contemporary and stylish bride who lit up the room but for us the magic was seeing a couple, so obviously in love,  enjoying every second of their celebration with close friends and family.
