In her youth she rubbed shoulders with the likes of Oscar de la Renta, was painted by Andy Warhol, and was the first American female to receive the title of Feng Shui Grandmaster during her time in Hong Kong. Casual.

Then turning her talents to jewellery, Carole Shashona’s designs now explore everything from ancient symbols, to nature and architecture – and her latest line, Free Spirit, is no disappointment.

Featuring modern talismans such as protective eyes, angel wings and words of affirmation, the line is for the independent thinker, the individual and the avid traveller.

The latest collection, Free Spirit is available for purchase at Barneys.com and select Barneys New York stores
