The OC Wonders collection conjures up images of fairies frolicking in fantastical lands. From shimmering multi-coloured butterflies, the magical flowers, and foliage in springtime, this exclusive ring collection offers a magical blend of precious minerals and capricious desires.

They viewed and tried on a selection of the18k gold unique, hand-made pieces made in Switzerland, U.S. and Italy, while enjoying a lunch from the terrace of The Peninsula.

The brand has both high-end pieces as well as consumer-friendly items. OC Jewellery is definitely a labor of love as the designer has such a compelling backstory. In 2014, she suffered a neck injury after a martial arts exhibition in Paris. After a seemingly straightforward operation, she unfortunately woke up paralyzed from the neck down due to a surgical complication. She fought to regain her ability to walk and three years later, climbed one of the highest mountains in Switzerland. She created the Never Give Up Foundation, in order to help those with spinal cord injuries to receive care and support during their early days of life-changing treatments. 20% of jewelry sales goes to the foundation. The collections are available at oriannecollins.com.
