When buying fine jewellery, sometimes you want a little more than a mere selection to pick from. You may be hoping to match a piece with a number of outfits, see the piece in natural light or learn a little more about the provenance. Tasaki, the meticulous Japanese house who have been harvesting cultured pearls since the 1950s, are aware that most customers will want to travel to their lavish store on New Bond Street. There, they can admire the new cosmic-inspired collection, including comet earrings, cuffs, necklaces and so much more.
But if that doesn’t suit, their new service "Tasaki at home" offers clients the chance to try on goods on their own terms in their own time. Powered by luxury delivery system Toshi, already employed with great success by Chanel and Christian Louboutin, with 90 minutes notice, an expert will arrive at your house. They can bring a selection of pieces (including various sizes if you are unsure) and can take payment right then and there. Most importantly they can replicate the luxury experience that is missing from so much online retail. It certainly seems like the most rarified way of picking the right item - and if you are, for instance, in the market for an engagement ring for this season, this could be the most discrete way of getting hold of one without being detected…
