Clare Pardoe, the Dubai-based designer of Phioro, has a thing with manta rays—provided they come adorned in gold and precious stones, of course. She puts it this way: “The manta ray represents a deep understanding of your inner self and allows one to trust your intuition.” Interesting perspective.
The brand’s signature Greek letter Phi is translated onto gold pendants and rings while other pieces showcase underwater manta rays. The collection makes for one of the more avant-garde of the region while still maintaining a traditional diamond appeal.
