At the Reform Casino Night, Beyoncé unveiled a showstopping piece from her personal collection: the magnificent ‘Baoulé’ necklace by master jeweller Glenn Spiro. The one-of-a-kind creation, part of Spiro’s “Materials of the Old World” collection, radiated against her molten bronze gown, capturing the room with its golden blaze.
This rare necklace combines vivid citrines and brilliant diamonds, with elements that trace their origins back more than 3,000 years. Each gem was meticulously sourced over decades, chosen for its spellbinding hue, intensity, and inner fire. Its name nods to the Baoulé people of West Africa, a subtle homage to one of the many ancient cultures that inspired the collection’s spirit of timeless artistry.
Known for their appointment-only London atelier and a fiercely independent approach, the House of Glenn Spiro has built its reputation on daring craftsmanship and imaginative design. Glenn and his son Joe lead the house with a philosophy rooted in passion rather than market trends.
“We don’t make what people want; we make what we love — and if they love it, then great,” Spiro has said. “If not, we’ll keep it in the safe until the right person walks through the door.”
Beyoncé wearing the ‘Baoulé’ necklace is more than a fashion moment — it’s a meeting of icons. Her commanding presence elevates the historic weight of the piece, while the necklace’s ancient origins mirror her timeless aura. Together, they created a vision of power, legacy, and luminous beauty — a testament to jewellery as wearable art that transcends centuries.
