Mocha Mousse is all about the sensual warmth of soft fabrics, oily leather and suede, cosy velvet, cashmere and angora, as well as warming aromas of cocoa, chocolate and coffee. But how can its ‘flavour’ reveal itself through nature’s minerals and beautifully crafted jewels? As if echoing Laurie Pressman’s words, many in the jewellery world have spotlighted new and existing creations, inviting us to feast on quartzes, tourmalines, and rare brown, cognac and champagne-hued diamonds, all with a mocha twist.
