~Daphne Guinness x Shaun Leane = "Contra Mundum"~

"I dislike the idea of jewellery being like a price tag around someone's neck. It needs to be something else - and there is something extremely magical about armour."
-Daphne Guinness


The walking fashion fantasy that is Daphne Guinness and her good friend and jewelry designer Shaun Leane have created a striking and innovative piece of "armor" in a collaboration of their talents entitled "Contra Mundum", Latin for "Against The World". A fitting title and my new favorite Latin saying. This 18 carat "armor" is made of hand crafted chain-mail and 5000 pave diamonds. The "glove", custom made to Daphne's arm, just might be the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Photographer Nick Knight has captured the dazzling result of this brilliant collaboration...
