Resonance: Soundscapes of Jewellery

Redefining five iconic engagement rings as immersive sound experiences, created in collaboration with blind and low-vision voices. Inviting everyone, sighted or visually impaired, to experience jewellery in a slower, more tactile, and deeply personal way.

At Naveya & Sloane, we’ve always believed jewellery is more than what you see. It’s about memory, connection, and meaning. Resonance brings that belief to life in a world-first campaign, amplifying underrepresented voices, expanding the language of design, and redefining how jewellery can be felt, remembered, and experienced.

A First for Fine Jewellery

If jewellery can be seen and worn, why not heard? Guided by blind and low-vision collaborators—including Ivy Rose Wickens, Michael Whittaker, Martine Abel-Williamson, and Leonie Emery—our composers Pete Van Der Fluit and Thom Darlow crafted unique sonic interpretations of each ring.

Through memory and imagination, every collaborator described how the rings “sounded” to them. The result: five distinct soundscapes that shift the way we perceive jewellery, creating an experience as inclusive as it is innovative.

The Minds Behind the Music

Ivy Rose Wickens

Ivy lives with Ocular Cutaneous Albinism, which causes low vision. With their guide dog, Yale, they navigate life with resilience and humour, often challenging misconceptions about what blindness “looks like.” For Ivy, jewellery is a form of self-expression. In Resonance, they describe rings through textures, memories, and sounds of the sea.

Michael Whittaker

A former international fashion model turned PhD candidate and para-athlete, Michael brings a unique perspective to the project. Living with retinitis pigmentosa, he emphasises that blindness is not a limitation but a different way of perceiving the world — one rich with depth and nuance.

Martine Abel-Williamson

Born with Leber’s Congenital Amaurosis and now fully blind, Martine is a passionate advocate and Global President of the World Blind Union. Describing colours and textures through imagination and memory, translating jewellery into soundscapes that are soft, rippling, and full of life.

Leonie Emery

Leonie’s reflections bring warmth and clarity to Resonance. When asked how a diamond might sound, she likened it to running a finger around a crystal glass — a response that inspired an entire composition. Her insights show how sound can express qualities of brilliance, delicacy, and emotion usually reserved for sight.

The Spark Behind the Sound

Resonance was inspired by a conversation between our Creative Director Rachel Sloane and Grace Stratton, CEO of All is for All. Sharing a passion for design and accessibility, the idea naturally evolved: to translate jewellery into sound, creating an experience that transcends sight.

“Blindness or low vision isn’t a limitation, it’s a different way of perceiving beauty. This campaign shows what happens when inclusion leads the creative process, not as an afterthought, but as a driver of innovation and meaning.”
— Grace Stratton, CEO, All is for All

“Jewellery has always been about more than what you see. Our collaborators weren’t just participants; they were co-authors whose insights opened powerful new ways to communicate beauty beyond the visual.”
— Rachel Sloane, Creative Director, Naveya & Sloane

Resonance reflects our belief that inclusivity can shape the way we design, making luxury accessible in every sense.
