British jeweler Garrard introduced this set of Wings Embrace High Jewelry rings in 2022. The designer used diamonds paired with brilliantly gradient-colored gemstones to create the variegated plumage of four legendary birds—the Bird of Paradise, Flamingo, Peacock, and Phoenix—presenting a dreamlike visual effect.

The “Wings” collection, born in 2003 and inspired by the imagery of “wings,” is one of Garrard’s most iconic series. The new pieces continue the asymmetrical design, allowing the streamlined wings to gently sweep across the finger, evoking the wonderful sensation of being softly embraced by an angel’s wings—the name “Wings Embrace” perfectly captures this feeling.

The new rings feature a double-layer structure:

The top layer consists of semi-openworked “coverts” set with brilliant-cut diamonds. The inner shoulder feathers incorporate a retro scrollwork pattern, with a central colored gemstone serving as the focal point.

The underlying layer of “flight feathers” is inlaid with small calibre-cut cabochon gemstones, outlining distinct feather vanes. The stones are set seamlessly together, forming a coherent color gradient.

The designer created wings for four legendary birds:

The Bird of Paradise is set with three types of colored sapphires, presenting a natural transition from pink, purple to blue.

The Flamingo uses a pink color palette, where rubies and pink sapphires create a sweet, romantic atmosphere.

The Peacock’s iridescent colors are interpreted with sapphires, aquamarines, and tsavorites, as if containing infinite mystery.

The Phoenix is paired with orange and yellow sapphires, displaying flame-like, striking colors.
