Out with tradition – the modern bride is here. NADINE MERABI launches the highly anticipated 2025 Bridal collection, showcasing sleek lines, bold cuts, and unexpected details. Every look is crafted for a bride who seeks timeless romance with a contemporary edge. Featuring 12 distinct designs, the collection plays with texture, structure, and silhouette, offering a fresh twist on bridal style.
This season, MERABI focuses on a single Bridal edit, with a drop-model release and restocks of iconic pieces such as the ‘Charlotte’ White Blazer and ‘Darcie’ White Pyjamas. Traditional feminine elements are reinterpreted with oversized detachable bows positioned low on the back, a modern take on the 2023 a-line silhouette. New micro bow belts cinch the waist, shaping the figure with a sculpted, hourglass effect. Designed for every stage of the wedding journey and beyond, the collection is for the bride who doesn’t just wear white – she owns it.
Gemfields proudly joins forces with Los Angeles-based artist and goldsmith Rachel Quinn to unveil the Crazy Love collection, featuring exquisite Zambian emeralds and Mozambican rubies. Zambian emeralds bring a playful touch to the Lovesick Necklace and form the core of the Spiderweb Earrings, while Mozambican rubies shine brightly at the centre of the Lucky Love Token Necklace and Radiant Heart Pinky.
‘Falling in love has been described as a form of temporary insanity. In this collection, I capture the exhilarating emotional rollercoaster that is uniquely found in the early stages of romantic love: dizzying highs, crushing doubts and uncertainty, equally thrilling and distressing, full of trepidation and hope. But oh, what a glorious ride it is. This collection, created in collaboration with Gemfields, showcases responsibly mined rubies and emeralds in ten unique designs, each representing a different emotional facet of burgeoning love: seduction, vulnerability and yearning, to name a few. These brilliant gemstones not only enhance each design’s beauty, but also deepen the collection’s narrative: rubies, the gemstone of the heart, symbolise passionate love, while emeralds represent loyalty, harmony and new beginnings – all the elements we seek in the first flush of new love.’
