Signets and scarves by Diaphano
Sometimes the easiest way to refresh your wardrobe isn’t with more clothes, but with the right accessories. A good silver pendant, a scarf that works three ways, or a bag you end up carrying everywhere tends to do far more than another dress ever could. This summer, it’s the accessories doing most of the heavy lifting.
Diaphano's mulberry silk scarves
A good silk scarf can do the work of half your vacation wardrobe. It takes up almost no space, but can change an entire look, and for that kind of versatility, we love Diaphano’s Meridian series. Crafted in premium mulberry silk twill, the scarves are designed for fluid drape with enough structure to hold their shape beautifully across different ways of wear. The compass motif running through the collection adds a sense of intention, while deep tones of black, oxblood and emerald keep the pieces sharp. Beyond scarves, the brand also extends this visual language into signet rings, pinky rings and brooches that carry the same symbolic codes. Working with craftsmen and ateliers across South India, Kolkata and traditional jewellery artisans, Diaphano approaches each piece with a strong sense of material and precision, to ensure long wear.

Diaphano's Aurum signets
Diaphano’s Aurum Astra and Aurum Vesper signets bring a more sculptural, polished edge to summer accessorising, especially at a time when lighter dressing leaves more room for jewellery to stand out. Reinterpreting the traditional Indian signet ring through a contemporary lens, the pieces draw on the history of the mohar anguthi, once associated with identity, lineage, and personal insignia across royal courts and merchant families. The signets feature a clean oval silhouette in mirror-polished gold with enamel and a subtle star motif, designed to sit comfortably beneath cuffs or work seamlessly as an everyday piece. Known for its statement and pinky signets, Diaphano balances heritage references with minimal, modern detailing that feels timeless rather than overly ornamental.
