LOVE STRUCK DMR Jewellery, which has a showroom in Liverpool, has introduced a romantic new addition to its collection – Love Lines. Designed in-house at the brand’s Cheshire-based studio, it was influenced by one of the most notable romantic symbols, Cupid’s arrow. Cupid, the Roman god of desire and affection, has been famously portrayed throughout the centuries wielding a bow and arrow, which he’d use to make someone fall in love with the first person they saw. Seven individual pieces of jewellery make up this stylish contemporary collection, including earrings, neckwear and wristwear. Two new styles of earrings allow you to choose from diamond set or plain polished, crafted from 18ct yellow gold they’re priced from £950. Appreciating the trend for layering jewellery, a necklace set with 0.22cts of round brilliant-cut diamonds, bracelet and stacking bangles are also part of the Love Lines range. The versatile design means that Love Lines’ pieces will ensure you make a sparkling statement on your wedding day as well as forming part of your everyday layered look for years afterwards.
