Turning the page, with David M Robinson
UK jewellery David M Robinson draws 2025 to a close by unveiling its most personal collections of diamond jewellery yet.
Words by Jamie McFadden
There is a quiet understanding at the heart of David M Robinson, a name that has been synonymous with trust for over five decades. It’s the understanding that the most significant pieces of jewellery are never just acquired; they are composed. They are the physical markers of our personal journey, the artefacts of our most meaningful moments. This is the DMR difference: a belief that fine jewellery is not about a transaction, but about the quiet architecture of a life well-lived.
This Autumn/Winter, the brand embarks on a significant chapter, launching and developing a range of collections. This is more than a refresh; it is a profound statement of intent, bringing a host of new and deeply personal options to their clients and signalling a dynamic new era that remains true to its heritage of expert guidance. It perfectly demonstrates the brand’s unique approach to jewellery design, with a host of in-house designers, working alongside key colleagues within the business to truly understand the demands of its clients. This new direction begins with a real shift towards self-expression.
“This is a direct response to what our clients are asking for,” says Alisha Foulkes, Showroom Manager at the brand’s flagship Liverpool home. “They want pieces that are versatile, personal and speak to their individual story. This is about giving them more ways to do that than ever before. It’s about evolving with them.”
But this new chapter is not solely about the individual. It’s also about reimagining how jewellery can articulate connection. The Making Waves collection does this with a focus on harmony. The collection’s engagement and wedding rings, which are defined by their soft, rolling curves, are engineered to slot together in a seamless, sculptural embrace. They are a wearable symbol of two paths merging into one continuous line. In contrast, the Giallo Pavé collection draws on a more poetic tradition. Inspired by the ritual of affixing padlocks to canals in Venice, it transforms a functional clasp into the brilliant, pavé diamond-set heart of the design, a symbolic marker that represents a promise secured and cherished.
What unites these diverse new collections is a deepened commitment to the brand’s bespoke journey. This is most evident in DMR’s reimagined Bridal philosophy, which now showcases a range of tastes to suit every story. “Our role is to guide, not to dictate,” Alisha explains. “The conversation has completely changed. We have clients seeking bold, chunky bands, while others are drawn to the timeless elegance of a classic style or the personalised sparkle of mixed metals and pavé diamonds. We’ve intentionally expanded our available style, ensuring that there is a truly personal starting point for everyone.”
The developments underscore a brand that is confidently adapting to the desires of the modern client, without sacrificing the reassuring expertise it was founded upon, in 1969. It’s a commitment to being both a curator of beautiful objects and a collaborator in personal storytelling.
“We’re here for a lifetime of moments, not just the first purchase,” Alisha concludes. “Introducing so many new avenues for our client’s self-expression and connection is the real magic of what we do. It reinforces that the finest jewellery is not just expertly chosen, but personally guided.”
At David M Robinson, this landmark chapter proves the most compelling stories are, indeed, yet to be written.
