"A Conversation with... Rosie Odette". A brilliant blog written by Pikes, Ibiza!

A LITTLE MAGPIE TOLD US WE’D LOVE THIS FAB JEWELLERY DESIGNER AND THEY WERE RIGHT!

It’s no secret we love a pop-up here at Pikes – we’ve hosted fashion designers, artists, chefs, authors and more over the years. But what really gets our magpie senses tingling is when we invite a jewellery designer to curate a pop-up boutique, and this week, they’re on high alert. The amazing Rosie Odette joins us in Pamelas from midday until 7pm on Tuesday September 13, 2022, bringing with her a hand-picked sparkly selection of what she calls ‘spiritual bling’ from her divine collections. Trust us when we say you won’t be able to leave empty-handed, quite literally!The globe-trotting gem hunter and jewellery designer – who relocated to Ibiza permanently in 2022 – is no stranger to Pikes – she first walked through our doors for a Melon Bomb party a few years ago and fell in love at first sight. “Pikes is by far my favourite place to hang out in Ibiza,” Rosie tells us, as we eagerly peer over her shoulder to try and get an advance peek at the pieces that will be for sale tomorrow.“The perfect adult playground. I always say your vibe attracts your tribe and it does!”

If it was our vibe that attracted Rosie back then, it’s Rosie’s vibe that will attract style-setters, fashionistas, soul seekers and lovers of all that glitters to Pamelas tomorrow, when she unveils the collections within our flamingo-pink walls. “All of my collections have a deeper meaning and concept to them,” she says of her work. “Every piece I make is imbued with my own life force and life experience. I create each piece to serve the wearer in their personal transformation of empowering themselves, and myself. We are all interconnected. Your struggle is my struggle. Your victory is my victory. The Divinity collection is all about overcoming a long dark night of the soul. Each snake symbolises your personal power to come out shining, just like a champagne diamond.Perfectly, imperfect.”

It’s retail therapy, but not as you know it. Given the personal nature of her creations, Rosie feels a deep heart-to-heart connection with each client. “It’s pure positive energy,” she says. “How stones work is that they choose you. My coaching and 21 years of Buddhist practice are the bedrock of energy that imbues my work. Gemstones and powerful jewellery are my passion.” In addition to the selection of ready-to-wear pieces available, Rosie also works with clients on bespoke commissions and remodelling family heirlooms – so don’t be afraid to bring Granny’s antique ring to Pamelas for a consultation (are you reading this William, Harry, Kate and err, Meghan?).

“As soon as I see an heirloom, I can see what I will do with it, perfectly matching my client’s style,” Rosie says. “I listen carefully and really feel into what they want and also need to wear. I fuse their stones with my designs or sometimes I’ll suggest a stone, and create a bespoke piece with their choice of stones and add an engraving. The outcome is limitless, and the process is beautiful, moving and always really exciting.”

Rosie’s carefully curated collection of precious gemstones are sourced around the world and her passion for gems was the foundation that led her to become a designer. “Every year I go on a gem hunt to find rare, one-off pieces that will never be found again,” she says. “I’ve always had a natural love of gemstones and originally, I wanted to be a gemologist. I gem hunted across India for 16 years, finding stones and making pieces as I went along. Then one day, a jeweller told me I should go to Hatton Garden, London and train. Within three months I was hand-carving my first engagement ring in gold with blue sapphires.” And she’s never looked back.
