Robinson Pelham Is Partying Like It’s 1996
The “Summer of ’96” campaign and collection celebrate the year the brand was founded for its 30th anniversary.
Robinson Pelham’s “Bold Since ’96” celebration begins with the “Summer of ‘96” campaign, capturing the spirit of a ’90s summer, it said.
London—Robinson Pelham is celebrating its 30th anniversary with a year-long celebration it has titled “Bold Since ’96.”
The brand has released a “Summer of ‘96” campaign and collection inspired by the year the brand was founded, 1996.
“Thirty years on, the founding philosophy that shaped Robinson Pelham remains unchanged: bold, joyful and unmistakably original,” said Vanessa Chilton, creative director of Robinson Pelham.
“With our confident use of color, modern approach to wearability, and commitment to craftsmanship, we continue to design pieces that celebrate individuality—jewelry that brings confidence, color, and a sense of pleasure to everyday life. And really, what could be better than that?”
The campaign, set in Mallorca, Spain, captures the spirit of a ‘90s summer through slow mornings, days at the pool, and late evenings.

These moments reflect an instinctive, effortless approach to wearing jewelry through a unique storytelling lens, said Robinson Pelham.

The designs range from colorful enamel necklaces to sculptural gold hoops and refined diamond pieces to reflect Robinson Pelham’s balance of bold design and wearability.
The “Kinetic” designs, originally created in the 1990s, have been reimagined as a bolder style set with vivid gemstones. The earrings here showcase 2.46 carats of pink sapphires and 0.58 carats of diamond in 14-karat yellow gold ($10,500).
The “Paragon” necklace in 14-karat yellow gold with 3.56 carats of diamonds was inspired by Roman centurions’ skirts ($27,360).
The “Treble” earrings give the effect of a triple piercing via one 14-karat yellow gold piece featuring pavé diamond hoops flanked by hoops with diamond drops set in black rhodium ($14,180)
The “Meteor” earrings center baguette diamonds totaling 3.62 carats in a fringe of 14-karat yellow gold ($30,440)
Echoing the spirit of ‘90s style is the “Duo” bangle in 18-karat yellow gold with 0.60 carats of diamond. It is a flexible wrist cuff that can be worn on its own or in a stack, said the brand ($7,350).
The “Nirvana” necklace showcases green enamel over 9-karat yellow gold accented by 1.15 carats of diamonds. The design is inspired by rock candy or a sugar shoelace, said Robinson Pelham ($13,620).
The “Gloria” earrings draw from 1890s Art Nouveau curves of 14-karat white gold with blue topaz and diamond ($13,390)
The “Boudicca” earcuff was designed to be “ear armor”—unapologetic, sculptural statements of power, said the brand. It features 2.69 carats of diamond pavé set in 14-karat yellow gold ($13,000)
The “Arma” earrings feature 1 carat of pavé diamonds in a fan shape set in 14-karat yellow gold ($8,870).
The “Solstice” pieces merge to turn bracelets into a choker when connected. Here is a bracelet using 2.45 carats of pavé diamonds with 14-karat yellow gold ($16,196).
Within the Summer of ’96 collection are new styles titled “Nirvana,” “Meteor,” “Treble,” “Solstice,” “Boudicca,” “Gloria,” “Kinetic,” “Paragon,” “Arma,” and “Duo.”
The celebratory launch also includes new pieces in Robinson Pelham’s bestselling collections, “Daystar,” “Arena,” “Jupe,” and “Utopia.”
The Summer of ’96 collection is available on the Robinson Pelham website.
Both the collection and campaign debuted on May 26.
The brand said it plans to continue the Bold Since ’96 celebrations via key brand moments throughout the year.
