Nouve, the newly-launched bridal edit, was created for a “specific kind of bride” says Sara Spence, co-founder of Kate & Kole tells 7You.
“One who chooses a slip dress, who wants a second look that feels considered rather than overdressed.”
The designs feature elongated pear-cut lab-grown diamonds, each held in precise three-talon claw settings.
Simple, elegant and oh-so beautiful.
Inspired by one of Kate & Kole’s most sought-after pieces, the Duet engagement ring, Nouve builds on the two stong ring, with an elongated pair shape.
“The Duet ring holds a special place for me,” Sara explains.
“It’s one of those designs where the proportions and symmetry just clicked. Bringing the elongated pear into that same logic felt like a natural evolution.”
Available in a 18ct yellow gold, the Nouve Duet retails for $9,690.
Inspired by the “real nineties-era movement in bridal fashion” that has seen a return, Sara explains how Kate & Kole wanted to design jewellery to complement the “stripped back” style.
Simple and elegant, the Nouve Lariat (from $5,990) — an elongated pear lab-grown diamond body chain — does just that.
Designed with a low-cut back or deep V neckline, it is gently suspended from a fine chain.
“The Lariat is the piece I’m most excited about,” says Spence.
“There’s something about a single diamond suspended mid-chest or mid-back that feels genuinely modern. Paired with a low-back gown, it’s a complete look and that’s what we were designing for.”
As for earrings, there’s three gorgeous pieces to choose from whether you prefer a simple stud or an elevated drop style.
The Nouve Drops, from $18,990, feature 3-carat elongated pear-cut diamonds, connected by a flexible joint so they move naturally when worn.
“The drop earrings look incredible when you’re still”, says Spence, “and even better when you’re dancing.”
Nouve Studs, from $7,590, are a pair of striking pear-cut 2-carat lab-grown diamonds which complement any kind of bridal outfit.
Then, there’s the Nouve Hooks, from $2,990.
Light and easy to wear, the elongated pear diamond offers something considered without feeling overstyled.
Nouve bridal edit aligns as Kate & Kole expands internationally, marking its first retail presence in New York at the We Wear Australian concept store in Soho.
The arrival also coincides with New York Bridal Fashion Week, where the Kate & Kole team will be on the ground in NYC.
