The range of avant-garde statement pieces includes a plethora of necklaces, pendants, rings and earrings. The collections find their inspiration in the nuances of modern architecture coupled with the use of high-quality materials and gemstones to create niche items. Each piece has the USP of being contemporary, diverse and uniquely transformable into a variety of adaptable forms.

All pieces in the collection transform into different jewellery pieces and into different colours.’

Another range of note is the ‘Naked Square’ collection, which is an in-depth study of the ‘grammar of shapes’. Myriam takes as her inspiration the ‘square’ in an effort to discover its voyage over the centuries and its inner, deeper meaning. The vision for the range is to re-think the way that classic diamond jewellery is viewed and presented. USP’s of the range include traditional materials used, age-old handcrafted techniques, individual designs and versatility of use. Some mesmerising pieces from the collection include the Cross Eternity Ring, the Tennis Bracelet and the Scarf Pendant.

Explaining the unique vision for MyriamSOS and her meticulous commitment to design research and cutting-edge techniques, Myriam Soseilos says: ‘SOS represents the first three letters of my surname, whilst its pronunciation in English suggests ‘sauce’; after all, adding jewellery to an outfit is similar to adding spice to food.’
