Rachel Quinn Embodies Feelings of Falling in Love in New Collection
Quinn partnered with Gemfields to create “Crazy Love,” which features Zambian emeralds and Mozambican rubies across 10 pieces.
In Rachel Quinn’s new collection with Gemfields, rubies represent the gemstone of the heart, symbolizing passion, while emeralds represent loyalty, harmony, and new beginnings. Ten percent of the proceeds from “Crazy Love” will be donated to the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation and the Pasadena Humane Society to assist Los Angeles County during the wildfires.
London—Rachel Quinn, a Los Angeles-based designer and goldsmith, has partnered with Gemfields to create her “Crazy Love” collection.
The 10-piece collection features Zambian emeralds and Mozambican rubies from the miner set in 18-karat yellow gold, alongside diamonds, opal, onyx, mother of pearl, black quartz, pink sapphire, coral, and enamel.
Quinn’s creations were inspired by the “glorious ride” of falling in love, exploring love’s multifaceted emotions through themes of seduction, vulnerability, and yearning.
She said Gemfields’ stones not only enhance the design’s beauty but deepen the collection’s narrative. Rubies, often regarded as “the gemstone of the heart,” symbolize passion, while emeralds represent loyalty, harmony, and new beginnings.
“Falling in love has been described as a form of temporary insanity,” said Quinn.
“In this collection, I capture the exhilarating rollercoaster that is uniquely found in the early stages of romantic love: dizzying highs, crushing doubts and uncertainty, equally thrilling and distressing, full of trepidation and hope. But oh, what a glorious ride it is.”

The “Lipstick” locket necklace features lab-grown coral in the red hue of lipstick in an 18-karat yellow gold case designed with emeralds and black enamel ($13,500).
The “Kiss” necklace is an 18-karat yellow gold perfume bottle with ruby hearts ($5,600).
The “Lipstick” locket necklace is Quinn’s depiction of how one puts their best face forward on a date. The piece, which takes the shape of a red lipstick through lab-grown coral, opens as a keepsake vessel.
Her story continues with the “Kiss” perfume bottle necklace, which can be opened by twisting the gold lips to reveal a perfume diffuser with a heart at the end.
The “Lucky Love Token” necklace takes the form of a casino chip with emeralds, pink opal, onyx, mother of pearl, and a ruby heart ($17,200).
For this necklace, Rachel Quinn turned black quartz, emeralds, and 18-karat yellow gold into a die as her “Roll of the Dice” piece ($16,000).
The gamble of falling in love takes form across multiple necklaces—one inspired by Vegas casino chips and another by dice.
The “Questions” earrings use 18-karat yellow gold, rubies, and black enamel to shape a question mark ($6,200.)
Rachel Quinn’s “Lovesick” necklace with onyx, emeralds, and 18-karat yellow gold ($12,800)
Her “Spiderweb” earrings show ruby hearts and emerald and diamond spiders caught in 18-karat yellow gold webs ($5,600.)
However, love doesn’t always feel good. Her “Question” earrings showcase doubt, the “Lovesick” necklace symbolizes the torment of parting ways, and the “Spiderweb” earrings depict trepidation.
She chose to create her Spiderweb earrings after the quote by Alain de Button, saying, “Our societies focus relentlessly on the upsides of the start of love; we could do well to have some sympathies for the terrors.”
The “Lover’s Eye” brooch portrays an 18-karat yellow gold eye with mother of pearl as the sclera, black rhodium and emeralds as the iris, a ruby heart as the pupil, and opal as a teardrop ($7,200).
A “Lover’s Eye” brooch is also included, referencing antique “lover’s eye” jewelry, where couples would gift each other portrayals of their eye in a pendant or brooch as a keepsake of their love.
To Quinn, the piece shows how “our heart becomes more tender in the face of vast unknowns.”
The “Heart Air Balloon” earrings with rubies set in 18-karat yellow gold ($9,500)
The “Radiant Heart” pinky ring centers a 1.03-carat ruby surrounded by various shades of pink sapphires all set in 18-karat yellow gold ($12,500).
Of course, love is as thrilling as it is scary, which is shown though the “Heart Air Balloon” earrings.
Lastly, the “Radiant Heart” pinky ring embodies the way one’s heart feels when they are reunited with their love.
A portion of the sale from the collection’s five necklaces, three earrings, ring, and brooch will be donated to help those in Los Angeles County who were affected by recent wildfires that have ravaged Southern California.
Ten percent of the sale proceeds will go to the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation and the Pasadena Humane Society.
The Rachel Quinn x Gemfields Crazy Love collection released on Jan. 23, retailing for $5,600 to $17,200.
It is available on Rachel Quinn’s website.
