Introducing Sal Terrae, Sophie Harley’s new men’s jewellery collection, handcrafted in London in solid sterling silver and gold set with rare salt-and-pepper and black diamonds.
Evoking mystery, strength and passion, Sal Terrae, meaning Salt of the Earth, embodies resilience, courage, and the spirit of transformation. Designed for those who aren’t afraid to make a statement, each piece carries the quiet power of individuality.
The Meaning Behind Sal Terrae
The name Sal Terrae draws inspiration from the timeless connection between earth and human spirit. Just as salt grounds and preserves, these designs symbolise endurance and protection, a reminder of the strength found in life’s most elemental forces.
Every piece in the collection has been conceived as a modern amulet: jewellery with purpose, meaning, and presence. Mysterious, bold and unapologetically individual — black and salt & pepper diamonds are for those who dare to be different. Chosen for their unique patterns and moody allure, these diamonds carry symbolism: a celebration of unconventional love, strength, mystery, passion and new beginnings. Historically believed to offer protection, their visible inclusions and striking grey-black tones make each stone entirely one of a kind.
Crafted in Sterling Silver & White & Yellow Gold
Each ring, bracelet and necklace is meticulously handcrafted in Sophie Harley’s London studio from solid sterling silver or 9ct white gold, with many pieces also including 18ct yellow gold. The collection showcases Sophie’s distinctive, sculptural and expressive designs adorned with gleaming black and salt-and-pepper diamonds in striking octagonal and pear-shaped cuts. The contrast of silver’s cool gleam with the dark, moody sparkle of diamonds gives the pieces a bold, contemporary edge that feels effortlessly wearable.
The collection features faceted diamonds in unexpected silhouettes: pear-shaped stones set into chunky rings, shield-shaped pendants suspended from tactile silver chains, and flush-set cushion and round cuts in 9ct white gold — ideal as modern heirlooms or unisex wedding bands. Hammered 18ct gold rings add refined edge, while a cheeky diamond drop hoop earring is in the works — perfect for a statement-loving man.
A symbolic thread runs throughout with the Aztec Bird — a powerful emblem of protection — reimagined in diamond-set bracelets and necklaces. Keep an eye out for new additions: engraved bangles, winged heart details, and a one-of-a-kind memento mori pendant in ruby and blue diamond, originally created for Sophie’s husband. It may not be part of the official collection, but it’s far too striking not to share.
