When Brigitte Adolph visited this British stronghold of textile lace production, she discovered this unusual pattern at Roger Watson Laces.

Named after nymph Daphne in Greek mythology, the jewellery pieces “Daphne” show round shapes, fine cords and filigree ornaments. The love god Eros had hit Apollo with an arrow.

Lace is reminiscent of the craftsmanship of past times and is, in my opinion, perfect as a design element in a romantic proposal ring.
