  British designer produces gem-set jewelry collection worthy of finest vintage Champagne


July 14, 2013


Dom Perignon was a 17 Century monk who resided at a Benedictine abbey in the French town of Hautvillers. He also was a pioneer in winemaking, and is credited among other things for perfecting the art of producing clear white wines from black grapes. But he is better known today not for what he did, but rather for what his name represents - the finest of Champagnes.

It takes many years for a bottleful of Dom Perignon to progress from the vine to the dinner table. Indeed Dom Perignon Rose Vintage 2002 only debuted in February 2013. To celebrate the occasion, the producer's owner, Moet & Chandon, teamed up with British designer Stephen Webster to create a collection that is worthy of the fine Champagne.

Called the Dark Jewel collection, it includes a long finger ring and drop earrings, featuring rubellite tourmaline stones set in 18K white gold, with a black and white diamond pave reproducing intertwined leaves and vines. The tourmaline is meant to symbolize the intensity and complex structure of sparkling wine.

For the occasion Webster also produced a limited-edition collection of pendants and cufflinks in the shape of the iconic Dom Perignon shield, set with black sapphires.

Ten bottles of Dom Perignon Rose 2002 with either a Stephen Webster pendant or cufflinks worth $750 will be exclusively sold at Fortnum & Mason in London.
