PHILLIPS LAUNCHES A NEW PRIVATE SELLING PLATFORM FOR JEWELLERY
Phillips recently launched Flawless, a new online destination offering exceptional jewellery for immediate purchase, marking an exciting step for the popular Jewels department. The Flawless launch will showcase 12 high and fine jewellery creations by Shaun Leane, available for private sale from September 2020. The collection includes Leane’s most iconic fine and high jewellery designs, as well as new bespoke pieces, created to mark the 21st anniversary of the House of Shaun Leane. The inaugural offering on Flawless also includes jewels by renowned houses including Cartier, Chaumet, Mauboussin, Tiffany & Co., and Van Cleef & Arpels.

Paul Redmayne, Head of Private Sales, Jewellery, said, “Dovetailing with Phillips’ global Jewels department, Flawless provides an additional platform for both online and offline sales for anything from a 1 carat engagement ring, a 10 carat Vivid Pink diamond, or an Art Deco Tutti Frutti Cartier bracelet, thus enabling us to engage instantly with collectors 365 days a year in the medium of their choice – WhatsApp, WeChat, text, email, phone, etc. In addition, Flawless will showcase the jewellers of today and tomorrow, giving them their rightful voice in what is traditionally a heritage market. As we continue our mission of championing the best in jewellery design, it is an honour to celebrate the launch with 12 exceptional jewels created by Shaun Leane, a remarkable innovator and trailblazer. His genre-defining jewels have a powerful, emotive and often poignant beauty – reflecting the romance, unstoppable force and compelling contradictions of the natural world.”

Shaun Leane says of the jewels featured on Phillips Flawless, “I see today’s woman as a romantic warrior, graceful, yet also full of strength, conviction and courage. I aim to intensify the power of jewellery and create my jewels to provoke different emotions – confidence, fragility, seduction and protection – and to deliver a sense of inner strength and identity. Above all, I want my jewels to give a woman the freedom to be who she wants to be.
I am delighted to partner with Phillips on the launch of Flawless – it is a wonderful platform to showcase our fine and high jewellery, and the start of an exciting journey. Their unrivalled reputation for celebrating pioneers of contemporary art and design is a deeply flattering testament to my work and it will be a huge honour to exhibit in such a dynamic and prestigious setting in 2021, as we continue to celebrate jewellery as one of today's most powerful and energetic art forms”.
