The Event
giving you an insight into the concept and narrative…
The Concept
Rather than simply looking at gems for their appearance, Treasures explores the qualities that have made them so sought after throughout history — their colours, their meanings and the emotions they often evoke. Across the event, four distinct looks will take inspiration from different stones, each bringing its own atmosphere and visual language to the day.
This isn't about recreating jewellery or turning the model into a gemstone. It's about taking inspiration from these natural treasures and translating their essence into something elegant, expressive and uniquely Luminescence.

Think rich reds and soft blush tones inspired by ruby and rose quartz, bringing warmth, romance and depth. Think the delicate iridescence of opal and pearl, with lighter palettes and an almost ethereal quality. Think the regal greens of emerald and jade, full of richness and natural beauty. And finally, cooler mineral tones inspired by blue lace agate and blue quartz, creating imagery that feels calm, graceful and quietly atmospheric.
Each look has been designed to stand comfortably on its own, whilst still feeling part of a greater whole. Colour, texture and handcrafted styling come together to create four very different moods, giving photographers the opportunity to build a wonderfully varied body of work throughout the day.
