Paloma Picasso has unveiled a new range of gold jewellery that has been inspired by mosaics.

The collection by the daughter of Pablo Picasso for Tiffany & Co uses a range of mosaic techniques that date back centuries.

Called Zellige, the new range features 18-c gold earrings, pendants and bracelets with geometric motifs made.

Paloma Picasso, an experienced jewellery designer, explained that a tiled fountain at her home in Marrakech helped to inspire the new line.

"Jewellery is about timelessness," she stated. "A piece of jewellery is here to stay much longer than a dress or gown."

The French/Spanish designer and businesswoman told the Canadian Press that she has a pair of hammered gold ball earrings and a pair of white gold earrings with diamonds that she never leaves home without as they enhance her appearance.

One of the world's top jewellery brands, Tiffany & Co was established on Broadway in New York in 1837.
