Blending its creative director’s Spanish, Filipino and Japanese heritage, Milamore’s distinctive look teams pearls, diamonds and mixed metals, in jewels that are all handmade in Japan. George’s aesthetic is most beautifully illustrated by his emblematic Duo chains, while another brand signature, the Kintsugi collection, is based around the Japanese philosophy of self-ac-ceptance that finds graceful expression in diamond rings and delicate pendants.

The Infinity Hoop earrings combine a motif inspired by the Japanese art of Kintsugi, with the symbol of infinity, in an organic gold twist that loops around the lobe, symbolising a philosophy of resilience, renewal and finding beauty in imperfection.
