January 2026: Our Most Experimental Month Yet
Share
January 2026 became a month for testing what a jewellery-led experience studio could hold. My Trove Jewels developed two very different concepts: a hat-customisation night with Sonderhaus Art Club and Glow + Create with MelaSkn.
Experiment one: taking jewellery techniques beyond jewellery
The Sonderhaus collaboration used gems, textile, mixed media and jewellery-making instincts to turn hats into a new creative canvas. The point was not to make every piece look the same; it was to design a room where people could experiment, compare ideas and build confidence through the process.
Experiment two: bringing beauty, jewellery and community into one room
Glow + Create explored how a charm bar could sit inside a wider beauty and community experience. Jewellery, skincare discovery, spatial design and conversation each had a role, with the guest journey connecting them rather than treating them as separate activities.
What the month clarified
TROVE is at its best when the jewellery becomes the thread through a larger human moment. The format can shift, but creativity, connection and community remain the constants.
