STAR-CROSSED NIBS: the dreamy new range from @montblanc

For literature lovers everywhere, the Meisterstück Romeo & Juliet Collection says it better than any jewellery ever could.

Drawing inspiration from Shakespeare’s tragic whilst reinterpreting the passion, luminosity and duality of this celebrated work of literature through refined materials, symbolic design details, and the Maison’s signature craftsmanship.

Feathers evoke Juliet’s celestial presence, echoing Romeo’s words: “O speak again, bright angel!”, as he compares her to a messenger from heaven. Leaves, inspired by Capulet’s orchard where Juliet unknowingly reveals her love and inner conflict, symbolise the sheltered intimacy of the young lovers’ first declarations of love. Thorn motifs on the cap top and cone are a reference to the family feud that taints their union with danger, echoing the impossibility of separating roses from thorns. Red accents atop each writing instrument in the collection pay homage to the colour of love, passion, and sacrifice.

Here at BANGLE, our favourite has to be the Meisterstück Romeo & Juliet Limited Edition 715 (pictured), which transforms the legendary tale into a sculptural masterpiece. Its limitation number pays homage to the play’s structure: “7” for the seven days over which the tragedy unfolds, “1” and “5” for Act I, Scene 5, when Romeo and Juliet first meet and instantly fall in love. Crafted from Ag 925 sterling silver with lacquered leaf motifs and adorned with three solid gold inlays, two representing doves and one representing the moon, the edition’s design mirrors the tension between beauty and fate.

The cap top features a mother-of-pearl Montblanc emblem set against red jasper stone, an ode to the colour of love and sacrifice, while the motif of thorny branches acts as representation of the couple’s tragic destiny. The handcrafted solid Au 750 gold nib engraved with “R + J” completes this poetic piece.

A Different Kind of Christmas: Non-traditional festive feasting across London

Part 1/3

by @burgers_and_burpees

For those who’d rather swap sage & onion for spice, smoke, fire and soy, London’s festive dining scene is delivering serious alternatives this season. From lobster noodles to wagyu grills, these are the tables rewriting the rules of Christmas lunch and doing it with confidence.

Namaste Village, Twickenham & OMNOM Islington

Christmas arrives in full colour at Namaste, where their festive menu leans into nostalgic Indian home cooking with serious seasonal flair. The five course option at £35.95 feels like a gift in itself. Think Galawati kebabs, spiced pumpkin and carrot soup, a Christmas masala dosa, red velvet naans and carrot halwa with brandy butter. It is comforting, generous and quietly brilliant for anyone opting out of meat without sacrificing indulgence.

@namastevillage

Doughnation, Covent Garden

For those who believe Christmas should involve gravy at all times, Doughnation’s Turkey Cranberry Feast pizza is the festive crossover you did not know you needed. Turkey, chipolata, cranberry and rocket arrive on their signature soft base with a side of thick gravy for dipping. Add the Jingle Bell Spritz pitcher and suddenly December plans look very productive indeed. There’s also a bottomless option for the brave.

@doughnation_pizza

Chook Chook, Putney

Chook Chook keeps things properly cosy with a Christmas menu built for sharing. At £40 per person, you get a full run of starter, main, sides and dessert with showstoppers like curry leaf prawns, duck vindaloo and pistachio kulfi. The festive cocktails seal the deal. The cranberry margarita alone could become tradition.
