What does the doyenne of luxury have in her Vault?

Lucia van der Post is the long reigning queen of luxury journalism. Born and educated in South Africa, the daughter of famous author Sir Laurens van der Post, she’s forged a decades long career in journalism. Starting out on London’s Fleet Street she became founding editor of the Financial Times How to Spend It magazine. She has written extensively on style, design and all things sophisticated, beautiful and tasteful.

I hope you enjoy listening to Lucia's remarkable stories and discovering the pieces she holds most dear, as much as I did.

Head to our website to listen to this wonderful episode where you'll also be able to take a close look at all the jewellery we discuss.

And I want to hear from you! What special treasures would you put into your fantasy jewel vault, and why? Every so often I’ll compile your stories into a podcast of their own. So please email me: [email protected]
