“Flutter&Wow” is the new designer collection from Links of London.The name is a play on the musical term ‘wow and flutter’, which describes the quivering pitch that occurs when a vinyl disc is played. It’s an apt metaphor for the rush of romance – a hint of what this collection is all about.

We can say the Flutter & Wow designed by its director is perfect, though she took the eternal symbol of love – the heart, but she gave it a lyrical new spin. The result is an iconic design that runs the length of the collection: an asymmetrical, heart-shaped cage, wrought from interconnecting lines of gold or silver. Edgy and offbeat, this thoroughly modern heart takes its cues from the fluctuating rhythms and paradoxes of romantic love. Key pieces include a gold & diamond pendant necklace (see above picture), a statement bangle with three spinning charms, and a cluster necklace of silver nuggets accented with faceted garnet. Heart-shaped links and clasps carry the leitmotif of Flutter & Wow through to necklaces, chains and bracelets.
