Berry’s unveils 125th anniversary collection

Berry’s has announced the launch of its opeia collection to celebrate its 125th anniversary.

The collection was designed by Berry’s in-house expert designer Emily Rose. It draws inspiration from the five generations of the Berry’s family who have run the business since its first store opened in 1897.

The final portfolio is full of shooting stars, comets and other cosmic phenomena that are brought to life in the designs of the range, which is named after the constellation of Cassiopeia.

This anniversary collection comprises 10 pieces: the Opeia necklace, a small and large pendant, a pair of drop and stud earrings, three rings, a bangle and a bracelet.

The collection focuses on creating wearable pieces that will “stand the test of time” and celebrate the company’s most important milestone to date.

Rose said: “The Opeia collection is designed to capture attention, with flowing, curved designs adorned with diamonds for that showstopping lustre.

“With Berry’s heritage, the theme of ‘family’ was a central concept in the collection, from moodboard to final design. ‘Opeia takes its name from Cassiopeia, a five-point constellation in the shape of a W, which is a nod to the Walton family who have run Berry’s for five generations.”

Simon Walton, managing director, said: “Opeia is without a doubt a beautiful collection and one befitting of such an anniversary for Berry’s. It is testament to Emily and her team’s skills that the pieces are so arresting and we’re sure they will draw a lot of attention.

“To make 125 years is a sign of celebration, we wanted to mark it by producing something that our clients can celebrate with us. The unveiling of this new range marks our 125th year in the business, and of this we are extremely proud. We look forward to showing the new pieces off in stores nationwide.”
