We are excited to announce the launch of the Kathleen Whitaker Stone Collection III. Continuing to work with unusual stones and unexpected materials, with this release we unveil a number of new styles using pietersite, vintage glass, tourmaline, chrysoprase, and grey opal.

Marylebone concept store Perfumer H creates bespoke seasonal fragrances.

In the heart of Saint James, Cafe Murano offers authentic Northern Italian
flavors from Michelin-starred Angela Hartnett.

Londoners are abuzz about the new wing of the Tate Modern, but it’s the Tate Britain, one of the UK’s oldest and most illustrious museums, that resonates most. It’s a quiet classic that never disappoints.

With multiple locations across central London, Fernandez & Wells is the perfect spot for a quick coffee, hearty sandwich or an excellent charcuterie plate.

London has an abundance of beautiful public parks  but Saint James  is a particular
favorite for its lakes and lush greenery.

As friends and fans of Apiece Apart, we were excited to collaborate with them on their beautiful Pre-Fall 2017 lookbook. Our Sequin Ring pairs perfectly with their effortless and minimal designs.

With summer on the horizon, our thoughts are turning to vacation destinations. Here we share some of our Paris essentials.

La Cave Du Septime, a wine bar housed in a converted shoe repair shop,
is perfect for small plates and an afternoon glass of wine.

The recently reopened Picasso Museum features over 5000 works of art,
including pieces from Picasso’s own personal collection.

A chateau-turned-hotel in the middle of the city, Saint James Paris boasts everything from stunning interiors to an award-winning restaurant and lush private gardens and spa.

When in Paris, make time to visit Au Passage, which offers beautiful bites and cocktails.

Situated in Meguro, south of Shibuya, Claska is one of our favorite hotels in Tokyo. A modern, minimal yet comfortable space, each of its 20 rooms is uniquely designed. The hotel also features a restaurant, lifestyle shop and an adjacent art gallery. A popular spot with discerning travelers, booking early is advised.

Arts & Science stores are dotted throughout Tokyo, selling a well-edited selection of clothing, accessories and homewares. Highlights include vintage workwear and handcrafted textiles.

To help you plan your next trip to New York, a round-up of some of our favorite spots in the city that never sleeps.
