Belgian princess Joséphine O’Hare de Saxe-Cobourg has once again put her creative skills to good use. After a successful collaboration with the Belgian brand Mayerline Brussels, she has now paired up with jewellery label Baunat.
Princess Joséphine O’Hare de Saxe-Cobourg has been known as an artist much longer than she has been a princess. While she has only donned the royal title since 2020, she has been creating art professionally at least since the 1990s.
Over the past few years, the Belgian princess has been teaming up with brands to make her art more widely available to the public. Her ongoing collaboration with Mayerline Brussels, which resulted in several outfits with an artistic touch, has been a Belgian success story.
A luxurious collection
Now, that story is getting another chapter as princess Delphine teams up with the Antwerp-based Belgian jewellery label Baunat. The Eternal Blossom collection, as the collaboration is called, comes just in time for the festive season and was inspired by florals. Including two rings, two necklaces, a brooch, and a pair of earrings, the collection has something to offer to all jewellery fanatics.
“My new favourite themes are love and roses, and it is pure coincidence that Baunat has already worked with floral motifs for its jewellery. For me, the rose in particular represents passionate love, beauty, transformation, inner strength, but also secrecy. There are many symbols that represent me perfectly,” Princess Delphine said in an interview with the French newspaper Le Figaro.
The entire collection is handcrafted in Antwerp, the world’s diamond capital, and is made using white gold, palladium, and diamonds. The first eight versions of each piece will be numbered and signed by the artist herself, while extra editions will be more widely available.
“This is the first time I have collaborated with a jewellery brand. I deliberately chose Baunat because it is a Belgian company, but also because their craftsmanship is extraordinary. I feel the need to promote Belgian brands: Belgians are shy and modest and not really chauvinistic. Having grown up in a very patriotic country, this is something I miss”, the princess told Le Figaro. As is to be expected of those high-end materials, the jewellery pieces come at a certain price. For a pendant, customers will have to pay €8,196, while the brooch amounts to €17,16
