Alyssa said: ”As a British jeweller, I was beyond excited to be given the opportunity to create a collection of jewellery for the most iconic landmark in London, The Shard.
"I’ve been to The Shard many times before and it’s one of the greatest things about our capital city. The sights are just breathtaking and the whole experience is just so special."

This collection features many of the sights you can enjoy from the top of The Shard, including a miniature silver double decker bus with spinning wheels, a tiny London cab with opening doors, a ‘With Love from London’ opening envelope, a miniature replica of The Shard itself, the London Skyline and even an urban fox.
"I wanted our London collection to reflect everything I love about the sights of London," Alyssa continued.
"Each piece means so much to me and spent many months in design and development before we signed each special masterpiece off.
"This collection not only needed to symbolise everything we love about London as a world, but I wanted to make sure that attention to detail was the main priority and I am so pleased we have managed to bring this dream to life!"
The element of ‘play’ features heavily in this collection from Alyssa, who believes jewellery should be seen as ‘wearable art’ and tell a story.
In the past, Alyssa has also teamed up with MotoGP presenter Suzi Perry for their Smith & Perry motorsports jewellery collection.
