Sonia Petroff’s legacy is built on storytelling through jewellery, drawing inspiration from animals, nature, and ancient mythology. Each piece is like its own mini adventure, ready to be worn. Birds, in particular, have played a large role in her work, embodying a sense of freedom, transformation, and strength. Whether it's the protective Griffin, the graceful swan, or playful parrot, these pieces reflect Sonia's deep connection to nature and her belief that jewellery can capture the spirit of the world around us.

First up, is the Griffin collection. If you're a fan of ancient mythology, this one's for you. The griffin, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle, has long been a symbol of strength, protection, and power. So, it’s no surprise that Sonia Petroff chose this legendary figure to lead one of her boldest collections yet. Drawing inspiration from Greek mythology and her time spent on the idyllic island of Patmos, the capsule feels like a perfect tribute of Greek history and Italian design. The Griffin, a protector of treasures in ancient lore, lends that same sense of protection and respect to these pieces. If you're looking to feel like royalty or just want something that adds a little power to your outfit, the Griffin collection is the way to go. 

At the heart of Sonia Petroff’s Swan collection is a celebration of the animal’s grace and beauty. It's not just another jewellery line; it’s an ode to the swan’s transformative power. What sets this capsule apart is how the jewellery interacts with the wearer, the long, sculpted curves of these pieces hug the body with an almost ethereal quality, making each one feel as though it’s gliding alongside you. Whether it’s the brooch resting gently on a lapel, the bracelet delicately wrapping around your wrist, or the earrings elegantly climbing up the ear, each design captures the essence of this majestic bird. The swan was as sacred to Sonia as it was to the gods Aphrodite and Apollo. In Greek mythology, the swan symbolised both love and divine inspiration. 

Another of Sonia Petroff's avian inspirations is the Parrot collection, where the capsule's playful spirit takes flight. Drawing from her love of travel and fascination with exotic animals, this collection is an homage of colour, adventure, and unapologetic self-expression. Every piece in the Parrot collection bursts with life, from earrings adorned with simulated topaz and onyx stones to belts featuring enamelled cabochon details, and brooches with feather etchings and gold-dipped rope twists, perfectly capturing the parrot's flamboyant personality. But beyond just bold designs, Sonia’s intention with this collection was simple, she wanted to have fun! Known for her independent spirit and love of all things adventurous, Sonia Petroff believed jewellery should make people smile. She created pieces that didn’t just accessorise but sparked joy. The Parrot collection was her way of infusing the wearer’s life with colour and playfulness.

Sonia Petroff’s Birds of Paradise are so much more than just jewellery motifs, they’re stories waiting to be worn. Each piece draws from Sonia’s love of animals, nature, and ancient mythology, with birds playing a starring role. Whether it’s the majestic power of the Griffin, the graceful elegance of the Swan, or the playful spirit of the Parrot, these collections reflect Sonia’s belief that jewellery can connect us to the natural world and the tales it holds.
