Gold and precious stones combine to exotic effect in a new range of jewellery from Italian bran Io Si.

Launched this week by Middle East jewellery house Damas at the Basel Fair 2008, the range features pendants, earrings and rings in gold and gemstones.

Amethysts, green zavorites, diamonds and pink, yellow and orange sapphires can all be embedded in yellow and white gold settings.

Tawfiq Abdullah, chairman of Damas Jewellery, commented: "Io Si's jewels exude a strong, sculptured artistry that's both eye-catching and exotic."

The brand exemplifies the glamour and culture of its homeland, Italy, Mr Abdullah said.

Founded in 1907 in the United Arab Emirates, Damas sells brands including Tiffany, Perreley and Montega and its network spans a number of continents.

According to Mr Abdullah, the ring collection is famous for its reflected equilibrium, with the distinctive forms of the upper section reproduced in miniature in the lower section.
