The stunning Maya Beach Summer 2012 collection from Fiona Paxton takes a dramatic new turn with an explosion of colour. Aztec patterns and shapes from a lost paradise civilisation are beautifully hand beaded with semi precious stones, the tiniest brightly coloured beads, cast metal, chains and wrapped cords.

Fiona Paxton Diana Wrap Cuff in Pink and Gold, £140

Fiona Paxton’s sixth collection has evolved into a strong sophisticated collection that still relates to its heritage. All the pieces are hand made using craft techniques. Each piece nods to past times, tribes and ‘off the beaten track’ destinations but styled to work effortlessly in the modern urban life.

Fiona Paxton Zoe Collar in Gold and Blue, £185

Fiona has always loved the mix of elements, textures and inspirations to create a modern collection that is reminiscent of an ancient treasure or a unique holiday find. Geometric patterning is significant of Aztec designs mixed with beaded techniques from the Inca’s ancient jewellery. Made in vibrant colours of fuchsia pinks, oranges and cobalt blues all inspired by the palette of the Brazilian rainforest.
