T: The New York Times Style Magazine

Jan 2026

T: The New York Times Style Magazine presents a jewellery editorial series that leans into sculptural still-life photography. The collection documents diamond and sapphire pieces through a series of tactile, abstract arrangements that bridge the gap between luxury accessories and raw materials. Photographer Clémentine Passet and set designer Gemma Tickle collaborate on these compositions, which utilize clean studio lighting to highlight natural forms alongside intricate jewellery metalwork. The series incorporates diverse backdrops and textures—from organic shells and ceramic dishes to atelier-inspired fabric and paper sculpture. By blending raw, earthy elements with precise, macro-focused gemstone displays, the project establishes an editorial aesthetic that prioritizes tactile contrast and clean lines. Technical approaches range from Polaroid-framed shots to analogue film imagery, reinforcing an authentic, studio-driven process.
