France / 1837 - Present

Hermès

As the reign of Queen Victoria began in 1837, another icon was just finding its feet. If you had found yourself crossing the sea to Paris at the time, your shopping list may well have included a trip to Hermès. But the appointment wouldn’t have been for you, it would have been for your horse. Unless, of course, you fancied wearing a harness.

Founded in 1837 by Thierry Hermès as a harness workshop, the house remained firmly rooted in the equestrian world for decades. It wasn’t until 1900 that Hermès created its first bag. And, you guessed it, an equestrian saddle bag.

By the Art Deco period, the original harness and bridle workshop had expanded into handbags, silk scarves, jewellery and couture. In the 1950s, the now-iconic orange boxes and the Duc carriage-with-horse logo helped cement Hermès’ place in fashion history.

2000 - 2009

Noughties

If you want to glimpse the opulence of the early 21st century, look no further than its celebrity engagements, those glittering declarations of love that doubled as cultural signposts. Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, in their first iteration, sealed their romance with a 6.1-carat fancy pink diamond, less a ring than a headline. Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin ushered in the era of the diamond halo, intensifying the sparkle, while Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt chose an Art Nouveau spiral solitaire, delicate yet deliberate, a nod to romance with a studied edge.

There was no ambiguity. More was more. Scale mattered. Presence mattered. Jewellery wasn’t an accent, it was the point. Platinum and white gold dominated, their cool, reflective surfaces offering modern sheen. Earrings stretched longer, swung wider, catching light in motion, whether paired with denim or couture.

Colour found its voice. Turquoise and coral appeared in bold, unapologetic strokes, like punctuation marks against luminous palettes. And yet, diamonds held their throne. They were the ultimate eye-catching tool, used by the powerful and beautiful for centuries.
