The Wick Culture - Aurora Rose Studs by Anabela Chan. Courtesy of Anabela Chan

Object Aurora Rose Studs by Anabela Chan

£1,120

These Aurora Rose Studs by Anabela Chan offer a different kind of Earth Day proposition: fine jewellery that rethinks preciousness through a more progressive approach to materials. Crafted with lab-grown gemstones and recycled metals, the earrings are part of the designer’s Blooms collection and take their cue from the shifting colour play of the aurora borealis. Feather-light and intricately set with laboratory-grown paraiba tourmalines, they retain the glamour of high jewellery with a more forward-looking sensibility. The first fine jewellery house to champion laboratory-grown gemstones with a focus on ethical and sustainable innovation, Anabela Chan makes these studs a particularly timely choice for Earth Day week.

The Wick Culture - Printed Silk Twill Carré by Gucci

Object Printed Silk Twill Carré by Gucci

£450

Few fashion accessories are as subtle or sophisticated as a silk scarf, especially in the context of art gallery meandering. This Gucci carré has the kind of graphic presence that can sharpen a blazer, soften a crisp shirt or add a twist of interest to a handbag. It’s appealing not only for its versatility, but the mood it suggests: cultured, self-possessed, slightly old-world in the best possible sense. It does not demand attention, but it certainly holds it.

The Wick Culture - Metal Earrings with Crystals in Gold/Crystal by Miu Miu

Object Metal Earrings with Crystals in Gold/Crystal by Miu Miu

£670

No art fair look is complete without a little sparkle, and these crystal-set Miu Miu earrings give exactly that. Their floral form and crystal finish give them a slightly theatrical, high-glamour feel, without looking too polished. They catch the light, frame the face and make even the simplest outfit look bold and intentional. This kind of visual punctuation is hard to resist.

Objects Spring Summer 2026 Jacket (Wool, Beige, Brown & Black) by Chanel

£5,560

This week we are thinking about what to wear to an art fair or Culturally Curious weekend breaks, and Matthieu Blazy’s first Chanel collection is a very compelling place to start. This jacket, from the Spring Summer 2026 collection, carries the ease and assurance needed for a day drifting between booths, private views and artful conversations. It draws on the enduring appeal of Chanel tweed,with Blazy adding a lighter, more fluid attitude that gives the piece a distinctly modern inflection.

Its reflective surface engages viewers and surroundings, blending playfulness with precision. The work explores consumer culture, transforming a temporary object into a permanent, monumental piece of contemporary art.

Quite eggcellent, we think you’ll agree.
