ISSUE FW’26
In our new FW’26 issue, we take you to the south of France and to Renée and Jan’s wedding, which was a celebration of love, friendship and style. We also sit down with Louis Abel founder Jimmy Loutfi for an in-depth interview about how his own wedding rings marked the start of a new chapter in fine jewellery, and look ahead to New York Bridal Fashion Week for the silhouettes, details and ideas that will set the tone for the coming season.

Master goldsmith Gunilla Lantz’s creativity seems boundless
She draws inspiration equally from nature, architecture and machinery, creating jewellery with a colourful twist. Gunilla also possesses that special ability to bring out your creative side, opening up new possibilities that make your ring unique.
– The most important thing about your wedding ring is that it’s personal. Let it stand out! In my experience, customers who choose a more unusual design tend to be more satisfied with their ring over time.
– Men tend to be more cautious, and to the groom I’d say he should think about the details – perhaps having a small stone set on the inside or the side of the ring to make it special just for him. Many couples also want their rings to feel like a pair, but might prefer completely different styles; in that case, they can borrow a small detail from each other’s rings and in that way ‘tie them together’.
Gunilla naturally also reminds us of the practical aspect.
– Your wedding ring must be strong and durable, as you’ll be wearing it every day.
Do you see any trends when it comes to wedding rings?
– Red gold is starting to become popular again. These days, they’re also thinner than they’ve been for a long time. But, once again – the most important thing is to dare to go your own way.
What do you think is the most important thing to bear in mind when choosing between natural and synthetic diamonds?
– It’s entirely up to you. But you should bear in mind that synthetic diamonds have no resale value at present.
When do I need to get in touch with you to ensure I receive my ring in time for the wedding?
– Five to six weeks. First, we’ll bounce some ideas off each other, and then I’ll draw up a sketch based on your wishes and vision and provide a quote. You’re, of course, always welcome to pop in and see how things are progressing!
What’s your top tip when it comes to other wedding jewellery?
– It’s lovely to have a piece of jewellery that complements the ring in style – perhaps a pendant on a chain that you can wear every day as a memento of your big day.
