Maleficent
Monan’s Maleficent designs are inspired by the title character, starring Angelina Jolie, of the film Maleficent, a Hollywood adaptation of the classic fairy-tale, “Sleeping Beauty”. Maleficent’s horns are dark, sharp and piercing, just like the hate, anger and ambition she seems to emit. Yet nothing is what it appears to be. Time will reveal to us the good in the heart of the seemingly evil fairy. The designs in the Maleficent series wish to tell us that it is impossible for us to know what people have been through, what they feel and what challenges they face, so do not judge anyone by mere appearance...
The Monan Maleficent collection, with its sharp and strong lines inspired by Maleficent’s horns, in addition to full-gold, white gold-white diamond or black diamond on black-rhodium-plated gold options, in certain designs, also captures a contrast of white brilliant cut diamond on black-rhodium-plated gold. We also observe this element of contrast in the artisanship of the Maleficent collection. The Ottoman palace technique of setting cut diamonds using foiling meets with the highly modern designs of the Maleficent collection: The combination of this specific design philosophy and artisanship heralds a first in the world of jewellery.
