The Story of RUUSK

by Stefanie Hung in JOURNAL
 Getting in front of the camera can always be a little nerve-wracking, even more so when you're being filmed for the first time! So, it's fair to say, I was a little nervous before the big day. Luckily, with my darling friend Laura Marii behind the camera, the nerves soon settled and we pretty much laughed the day away!  I'm absolutely thrilled to have her working on this project with me.

It feels amazing to know that the video is now well underway and that soon I'll be able to share a little bit of my story, philosophy and life/design experiences with you. Whilst Laura works on creating some amazing video magic, she's surprised me with some candid photos from the day to share with you. Lau you are such a superstar!

Hopefully these beautiful images will give you a little feel for what's to come, and a first glance into my RUUSK world.
Video is coming soon...

JEWELLERY TRENDS AT PARIS FASHION WEEK SS27

JEWELLERY TRENDS AT PARIS FASHION WEEK SS27

The mood in Paris was clear: more colour, more personality, more gold. SS27 saw heritage codes reworked, romanticism return and jewellery take on a more expressive role. We take a closer look at the key jewellery trends emerging from Paris Fashion Week, and the RUUSK pieces that reflect the season.   VALENTINO: Colour is in full bloom After a long era of neutrals and the clean-girl aesthetic, maximalism is making its return. This was particularly evident at Valentino, where Alessandro Michele brought his signature world of bold, eccentric and beautifully collected dressing. Colour, pattern and personality came together in a way that felt deeply individual. What this means for jewellery:Coloured stones are having their moment. Think expressive colour, unexpected combinations and sculptural pieces that bring personality. The RUUSK Edit:Coloured stone pieces, from champagne and yellow diamonds to sapphires, rubies and birthstones, bring that same sense of individuality to any jewellery collection. Discover The Birthstone Collection →Shop by Stone → DIOR: Romanticism, reimagined Jonathan Anderson’s Dior was a pastel dream, with romanticism and whimsical femininity at the forefront. Fine pleats, soft volumes and airy fabrics created a sense of movement and lightness, balancing delicate femininity with a distinctly modern edge. What this means for jewellery:Soft, romantic jewellery is finding its way back in. Look to gentle curves, organic forms and pieces that feel almost botanical in their shape. The RUUSK Edit:The Monte range bring softness and organic movement to the collection, with sculptural curves designed to be worn every day. Discover Monte → The Talisman range is a celebration of the finer, heirloom-quality details, with fine engraved etchings that wrap around soft edges like pleats. Discover Talisman → CHANEL: Heritage, made modern Matthieu Blazy’s Chanel was a journey through time, drawing on Gabrielle Chanel’s signature codes and reimagining them for the modern woman. The collection celebrated freedom, movement and pieces designed to live with you. Jewellery followed suit, with considered pieces designed to be layered effortlessly from day to night. What this means for jewellery:Heritage styles are being brought into the present. Think refined, stackable pieces with a sense of history, worn endlessly in new combinations and collected over time. The RUUSK Edit:Our plain gold bands and stackable rings are designed to become part of your everyday collection, layered and worn in ways that evolve with you. Discover Stacking Rings → SCHIAPARELLI: Jewellery as a secret language Daniel Roseberry’s Schiaparelli delivered some of the season’s most unforgettable jewellery and accessories. Structured tailoring and textured embellishment were punctuated by jewellery inspired by spirit animals. Motifs appeared throughout the collection almost like hidden easter eggs, woven into charms, buttons, embroidery and intricate accessories. What this means for jewellery:Jewellery is becoming more symbolic and expressive. Charms, motifs and meaningful details allow pieces to carry a story that is entirely their own. The RUUSK Edit:Our hand engraved signets are designed to hold memories and stories in every etching. Discover Signets → Our necklace charms, pendants and sliders offer endless possibilities to create your own stack, each one carefully selected and personalised to tell your story. Discover Pendants & Charms → SAINT LAURENT: Gold takes centre stage Anthony Vaccarello’s Saint Laurent, staged with the backdrop of the Eiffel Tower, was drenched in gold. Shimmering lamé, metallic surfaces, brocade and dramatic silhouettes made gold impossible to overlook. And the message for jewellery was just as clear: gold is no longer simply a detail. It is the hero. What this means for jewellery:Statement gold, sculptural forms and layered pieces are taking centre stage. Gold is being worn with confidence, as a defining part of the look rather than a finishing touch. The RUUSK Edit:Our solid gold sculptural pieces, statement rings and layered necklaces embrace gold as the centrepiece, designed to be worn alone or built into a collection. Discover Sculptural Statements  → THE JEWELLERY TAKEAWAYS Gold is the hero.No longer simply a detail, gold is being worn with confidence, from sculptural statement pieces to considered layers. Colour is back.Coloured stones bring personality, individuality and a sense of play to fine jewellery. Heritage is being reimagined.Nostalgia and heritage codes are being brought into the present, creating pieces that feel familiar yet distinctly current. Designing for the future, constantly being inspired by the past. Build your collection.Refined core pieces are being layered, stacked and collected, creating jewellery wardrobes that move effortlessly from day to night, and remain timeless through the ages. Make it personal.Motifs, charms, engravings and meaningful stones are turning jewellery into a form of self-expression. Craftsmanship still matters.Across fashion and jewellery, quality, craftsmanship and the beauty of things made well remain at the heart of luxury.

7 BRIDAL STYLES & THE ENGAGEMENT RINGS TO MATCH

7 BRIDAL STYLES & THE ENGAGEMENT RINGS TO MATCH

Your wedding should feel like an extension of your story, not a formula to follow. From timeless black-tie elegance to windswept coastal celebrations and weddings filled with collected, nostalgic details, the setting, styling and smallest details all come together to create a day that feels unmistakably yours. And while your engagement ring is designed to be loved long after the wedding day, choosing a piece that feels aligned with your personal style can be the perfect place to begin. Here are seven bridal styles to inspire your wedding, and the RUUSK rings we think belong alongside them. 01. The Timeless Classic Timeless silhouettes. Black tuxedos. Effortless florals. For the bride drawn to pieces that never feel out of place, the Timeless Classic is all about considered simplicity. Think crisp tailoring, beautifully cut gowns, understated florals and a celebration where every detail feels elegant without feeling overly styled. The beauty lies in restraint: a palette of whites, ivory and black, classic proportions and pieces chosen for their ability to transcend the moment. The Ring: Crown Solitaire The Crown Solitaire is made for this aesthetic. Its refined silhouette and distinctive Crown setting bring together the brilliance of a traditional claw setting with the considered structure of a bezel, creating a solitaire that feels both familiar and distinctly RUUSK. Discover the Crown Solitaire   02. The Nostalgic Storyteller Vintage flair. Collected details. Earthy, warm tones. For the bride who wants her wedding to feel as though it has been collected over time, the Nostalgic Storyteller is rich with character and sentiment. Think antique-inspired details, warm earthy tones, vintage textiles, mismatched vessels and flowers that feel gathered rather than perfectly arranged. Nothing needs to match exactly. Instead, every detail tells a story. This is a wedding where heirlooms are welcomed, old photographs inspire the details and personal touches matter more than following tradition. The Ring: Bespoke Trilogy with Personalised Stones A Trilogy Ring, personalised with coloured gemstones, feels perfectly at home here. Three stones can represent the past, present and future, while a meaningful stone colour or personal detail makes the design uniquely yours. For a truly one-of-one expression, our bespoke service allows you to create a ring collaboratively around your story, from the first idea through to the finished piece. Discover Bespoke   03. The Coastal Chic Shell motifs. A neutral palette. Salt air. Lustrous details. Coastal Chic is less about a traditional beach wedding and more about capturing the feeling of being by the sea. A light coastal breeze, sun-washed neutrals, natural textures and subtle shell motifs create an atmosphere that feels relaxed yet beautifully considered. Think soft ivory, sand, cream and pearlescent tones, with lustrous details that catch the light as the day moves from ceremony to sunset. The Ring: Talisman Trilogy The Talisman Trilogy brings a sense of symbolism to the coastal aesthetic. Three stones create a delicate rhythm across the finger, while the organic quality of the design feels beautifully suited to a celebration inspired by nature. Discover the Talisman Trilogy   04. Black Tie Glamour Candlelit dinners. Grand gowns. Sequins, feathers and bold fashion statements. For those who believe more is more, Black Tie Glamour calls for drama. Picture a grand candlelit dinner, an abundance of flowers, statement fashion and a room glowing late into the evening. This is a wedding built around atmosphere: dramatic silhouettes, rich textures, sparkling details and a little theatricality. The kind of celebration where the dress, the jewellery and the setting are all part of the spectacle. The Ring: Arc Round Trilogy The Arc Round Trilogy brings its own sense of occasion. Three round diamonds create a beautifully balanced composition, with the central stone framed by its accompanying diamonds for a silhouette that feels celebratory and full of brilliance. Discover the Arc Round Trilogy   05. Old World European Sculptural venues drenched in historical charm. Old-world architecture. Antique details. For the bride drawn to the romance of another era, Old World European is steeped in history. Imagine saying your vows beneath ornate ceilings, surrounded by stone, aged timber and architectural details that have witnessed generations before you. The palette is warm and restrained, with antique-inspired touches and an appreciation for craftsmanship. An old mine cut diamond feels particularly at home within this world; its distinctive character and softer, romantic sparkle carrying a sense of history within the stone itself. The Ring: Cushion Cut Solitaire A Cushion Cut Solitaire captures the romance of this aesthetic beautifully. Its softly rounded proportions and substantial presence feel at home alongside historic architecture, vintage details and the quiet grandeur of an old European setting. Discover the Cushion Cut Solitaire   06. The Romantic Garden Pastels. Light florals. Open-air celebrations. A sprawling dinner table. The Romantic Garden bride embraces the softer side of celebration. Picture an open garden ceremony surrounded by pastel blooms, a long table set beneath the trees and flowers spilling freely across the table. The mood is colourful and whimsical without feeling overly sweet. Think soft pinks, butter yellow, lavender, pale blue and layers of natural texture, creating a wedding that feels joyful, intimate and a little dreamlike. The Ring: Toi et Moi The Toi et Moi is an effortless match for this romantic aesthetic. Two stones sit together as a visual expression of two lives becoming one, creating a distinctive silhouette full of meaning and sentiment. Discover the Toi et Moi   07. The Modern Muse Untraditional details. Sculptural forms. Bold choices. Completely unapologetic. For the Modern Muse, tradition is simply a starting point. She might wear a hat instead of a veil, choose a sharply tailored suit over a traditional gown and serve tiramisu instead of a tiered wedding cake. Every choice is intentional, but nothing is selected simply because it is expected. The result is a wedding with a strong point of view; sculptural, unexpected and entirely personal. The Ring: Diamond Neptune The Diamond Neptune speaks to this sense of individuality. Sculptural and distinctive, it makes a statement without relying on traditional bridal conventions. A piece for the bride who wants her engagement ring to feel as individual as she does. Discover the Diamond Neptune   Your Wedding, Your Way There is no single definition of a beautiful wedding, just as there is no single way to wear an engagement ring. Your bridal style can be classic, nostalgic, romantic, dramatic, or a little bit of everything. The pieces you choose should feel like you: considered enough to mark the occasion, personal enough to carry your story, and beautifully made to live far beyond the wedding day. Because the best modern heirlooms aren't just chosen for the moment. They're chosen for all the moments that follow.

NATASHA'S MONTE & VALLE RINGS: A STORY OF MOTHERHOOD AND LEGACY

NATASHA'S MONTE & VALLE RINGS: A STORY OF MOTHERHOOD AND LEGACY

For Natasha, motherhood is made up of seasons – ever-changing, sometimes challenging, and filled with fleeting moments worth holding onto. Her Monte and Valle rings, each set with the birthstone of one of her two sons, are a reflection of that journey: two individual pieces that, like her children, are different by nature yet belong together. Inspired by her own mother, who wore two gold bands bearing the names and birth dates of her daughters, Natasha's rings create a beautiful thread between generations. These are pieces that carry her sons close today, with the hope that one day they will be beautiful heirlooms to carry forward.     What does motherhood mean to you? How has this chapter of life shaped you, both as a person and in the way you see the world? Motherhood is a compilation of seasons: some last longer than others, it’s ever changing and never static. Just because it feels hard now doesn’t mean it will be hard in the next few days, weeks or months. But it definitely feels easier the second time round. I know the sleepless nights are not forever, a tantrum will end and the cuddles are always sweet.  Becoming a mum completely altered my world mostly for the better. I can not remember life without my heart running around outside of my body anymore Is there a particular moment, memory or lesson from motherhood that you find yourself carrying with you every day? To enjoy the good parts. Embrace the cuddles and the sweet moments.  Your pieces feature the birthstones of your two sons. What does carrying a part of them with you every day mean to you? It means the world to me, being able to look down at my hands and be reminded of my children. Also helps me remember who is birth in which month and makes remembering birth dates easier.  The rings also remind me of my own mum (she was the inspiration behind them originally) as she had two good bands with my sister and I’s name and date of birth. I love that my rings link everyone together. What was it about the Monte and Valle designs that spoke to you? Was there something in their form, symbolism or sentiment that made them feel like the perfect choice?  I love that each ring is different, like my kids, but they belong together. I often tell my toddler that we are a team, stronger together than apart and I feel like the rings reflect that too. Plus the sparkle from the stones are lovely!  What do your finished pieces represent to you today, how do you hope their meaning will evolve as your sons grow, and what do you hope they will one day understand about the story these pieces carry? I hope my sons grow up with strong memories of me wearing the rings and when they eventually receive them (hopefully after many many decades of wear!) they treasure them and think of me.
