Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton’s daughter Nell Burton has just made her modeling debut.
Nell, 17, poses with her mother, 59, for a campaign for American jeweler Larkspur & Hawk, adding a layer of family magic to the colorful photoshoot.
In celebration of the vintage-inspired brand’s 25th anniversary, it seems only fitting that the two take on this task together.
Dubbed The Palette, the collection includes a variety of colorful gemstones covering the entire color spectrum. Bonham Carter’s signature wild curls were also colored a pale pink for the photo.
The brand is known for using an 18th century jewelry design technique called foiling. According to the brand’s press release, designer Emily Satloff “looked through our foil archives to be able to include 32 unique colors, each with a memory” to celebrate this milestone.
The collection includes chandelier earrings ($1,950), graduated rivière necklace ($4,500), and Jeu de Paume bracelet ($1,300).
There is one sentimental Easter egg in the shoot. Burton is wearing a dazzling necklace, Sadie Rivière, originally given to Bonham Carter by her grandmother.
“A few years ago, my mom wanted to buy me something[for my birthday]. We went to the Larkspur & Hawk showroom in New York. That’s when I chose Riviere. I wear it almost every day.” She added, “My mom gave it to me, so I feel like I carry a piece of her with me everywhere I go.”
Helena is a longtime supporter and friend of Larkspur & Hawk designer Emily Satloff. “Emily envisioned a campaign that celebrated not only traditional craftsmanship and color, but also the creative friendships that have shaped its story,” the brand said.
Emily added: “Although we work in completely different fields, we are both creatives, so we couldn’t imagine a better foundation to create this fairytale campaign.”
Bonham Carter’s concept of “fantasy Georgian character” combines perfectly with the jewelry, given Larkspur & Hawk’s signature style of creating “designs rooted in history” with a modern flair.
Helena said she once lost one of her earrings and contacted Emily about purchasing a replacement. “I like the idea that we found each other by losing our earrings,” she added, “They make me happy. It’s the chemistry of the color combinations and the foil work,” a nod to historic Georgian design.
Although the company is based in New York City, it has an unusually British feel, making the London-based mother-daughter duo the ideal representatives for this luxurious yet playful milestone campaign.
