Ten designs for chain bracelets and charms with turtle motifs – in a limited-edition of just five of each design, to be reproduced only at special request – include some with diamonds and semi-precious stones. The ‘crown jewel’ of the collection, ‘The Transforming Necklace’, is a one-of-a-kind master piece that will remain unique, and never duplicated.

“As collectors and lovers of high-end jewelry we personally collaborated from the first sketch with Frédéric Béziat to style this collection inspired by Velaa’s magical character, colours and the resident sea turtles that are our mascot representing our sustainable, environmental conscience,” said Velaa founder Radka Smejc.
“The collection celebrates both the art of jewelry and a reminder of magical, memorable stays on Velaa.” Frédéric Béziat is renowned as a private jeweler for elite international collectors and lovers of high-end jewelry, including the Sultan of Oman, crafting innovative, exclusive, collectible designs in his own distinctive avant-garde style likened to Bolvin, Jean Schlumberger and Verdura. He added: “Velaa is a haven of white sand and turquoise waters with unique form, beauty and geometry, a magical paradise where turtles are born and return to raise generation after generation of their own offspring. |
“This collection honours and celebrates this eternal cycle of life, with the colours of gems – diamonds, tourmalines, tsavorites, tanzanite sand garnets, turquoise, white opal, crystal opal, jade, onyx and lapis lazuli – selected to recall the azure lagoon, vibrant tropical verdure, purest white sand and dazzling sunlight of Velaa. “It is a special souvenir and precious gift, and like the turtle, a labyrinth of life and promise of return.” |

The ‘Velaa Turtle Charm’ tribute collection continues Velaa’s tradition of novel events and celebrations for the island’s 5th anniversary. From the first ‘snow room’ in the Maldives to world-class fine wine presentations and New Year´s Eve parties without parallel in the archipelago, this latest visionary concept “underlines our passion for introducing captivating new experiences for our guests” added Mr Smejc. “This fusion of beauty of nature, bespoke art and the true honest story behind it is something very different and unique.” For more information, please visit: www.velaaprivateisland.com

About Velaa Private Island
Nestled within the constellation of islands that form the Noonu Atoll in the Maldives, Velaa Private Island takes exclusivity to the next level with facilities and service that go beyond traditional resorts. Designed by award-winning Czech architect Petr Kolar as “an elegant fusion of Maldivian culture with contemporary luxury, intimate with Maldivian nuances”. Velaa Private Island is the realisation of a dream to create a “beyond luxury” exclusive boutiqe hideaway in the Maldives. Velaa means “Turtle Island” in the local language – named after generations of sea turtles that flock there to nest and hatch. From a broader “bird’s eye view” which greets arrivals by seaplane, the island’s exlusive over-water villas are also constructed to resemble the head of a turtle, with the island forming the body. The resort comprises 47 private villas, houses and exclusive residences. While 18 of the 47 are built over water, the Romantic Pool Residence can only be reached by boat, allowing even more privacy and exclusivity.
