Robinson Pelham marks 30 years with colorful Mallorca jewelry collection

Robinson Pelham marked three decades with a campaign that felt built for the jewelry box and the group chat: Summer of ’96, a Mallorca-shot celebration of diamond, gold and enamel pieces designed to be layered, tonal and easy to wear. The British jeweler framed the collection as a nod to “the ease, energy and attitude of a 90s summer,” turning its anniversary into a giftable moment rather than a routine house update.

The timing matters. Robinson Pelham says the new range draws on the brand’s familiar language of bold color, sculptural gold and signature diamonds, then translates it into styles that are ready for present-day gifting. The collection revisits house names that longtime clients will recognize, including Nirvana, Treble, Meteor, Kinetic, Gloria, Arma and Duo. That mix of enamel, diamond and gold gives the launch the kind of immediate purchase appeal luxury gifting needs: recognizable enough to feel collectible, but versatile enough to be worn every day.

Founded in 1996 by Vanessa Chilton, Zoe Benyon and Kate Pelham Burn, Robinson Pelham has long traded on a distinctly London sensibility, with bespoke and ready-to-wear jewelry that favors color over understatement. The company’s own records show Robinson Pelham Limited was incorporated on 17 August 1995, which neatly explains why the brand is framing 2026 as its 30th anniversary. That history gives the new collection more weight than a seasonal drop. It is an anniversary edit that reaches back to the house’s origins while refreshing the line for clients buying with milestones in mind.

The Mallorca campaign, shot by Buzz White, reinforces that mood of sunlit ease. Rather than leaning on overt opulence, Robinson Pelham is selling a specific kind of luxury: pieces that can be stacked, matched and personalized, especially through the brand’s ear-menu approach to studs, hoops, cuffs and charms. For gift buyers, that makes the collection feel less like a single statement purchase and more like a framework for building a keepsake over time.

Robinson Pelham has been publicly associated with bespoke commissions and with the Middleton family’s jewelry at the 2011 royal wedding, which helped widen its profile beyond London insiders. In 2024, it also leaned into archive-led design with collections that revisited older pieces and used recycled materials. Summer of ’96 follows that same logic, mining the archive but shaping it into colorful, polished jewelry that looks made for a birthday, an anniversary or the kind of gift meant to be worn, not saved.
