Noir Amour

Saturday 14 February 2026
Noir Amour is a luxurious Valentine’s jewellery workshop for anyone who wants the day to mean something more — or something entirely different. Designed and hosted exclusively by Silent Dove, this experience invites both the romantic and the anti-romantic into a world where beauty is shaped by desire, rebellion, and emotional truth. Whether Valentine’s Day fills you with excitement, indifference, or irritation, Noir Amour offers a seductive alternative: an evening where you create a piece of jewellery that reflects your story, not a commercial script. This is a celebration for lovers, friends, loners, situationships, heartbreak survivors, and everyone in between — a space where you can honour devotion, defiance, self-love, or simply the pleasure of making something exquisite. Guests will be guided through crafting a bespoke piece using premium materials like amethyst, onyx and freshwater pearls, chosen for their symbolism, texture, and emotional resonance. You’ll explore the Silent Dove approach to design — merging mood, mythology, and the quiet power of contrast — to create jewellery that captures the complexities of love: its sweetness, its shadows, its mess, its magic. Noir Amour is intimate, immersive, and unapologetically atmospheric: think velvet, candlelight, dark romance, and a touch of beautiful angst. Expect a workshop that feels part ritual, part creative escape, and part reclamation of a day that so often forgets the many forms love can take. You’ll leave with a handcrafted piece that holds meaning — whether it symbolises passion, healing, independence, or renewal. For those who love Valentine’s. For those who never have. For those rewriting the day on their own terms. Noir Amour invites you into the shadows to create something unforgettable.

Noir Reign

Sunday 15 February 2026
Presented by Asher + Archer and Silent Dove, Noir Reign reveals a realm of dark beauty where timeless elegance collides with a dystopian future. Sculptural silhouettes and striking jewellery channel a world rebuilt in shadow—where luxury becomes armour, and allure survives the ruins. In this imagined future, refinement doesn’t disappear; it adapts. It sharpens. It learns to move differently through a landscape marked by tension and transformation. Asher + Archer sculpts garments with architectural clarity—clean lines, commanding forms, and silhouettes that feel engineered as much as designed. Each piece stands like a structure against the storm: strong, intentional, unapologetically present. Silent Dove’s jewellery cuts through this darkness with elemental force. Metal becomes protection. Stones become talismans. These pieces glint like remnants of a former world—reclaimed, reforged, and worn not just for beauty, but for power. Together, the fashion and jewellery evoke a sense of resilience wrapped in refinement, a visual language of survival elevated into art. Textures deepen the atmosphere: matte fabrics absorbing shadow, lustrous surfaces catching fractured light, and curated contrasts echoing a world of fractured beauty. Noir Reign imagines a future where style endures—stripped back, sharpened, and reborn with an edge forged by experience. This evolution not nostalgia. Influences from across eras are distilled, abstracted, and reconstructed into something unmistakably futuristic. Something built to withstand. At its core, Noir Reign is a meditation on beauty under pressure—how artistry adapts, how elegance survives, and how identity is shaped in the shadows of change. It celebrates those who rise from the ruins wearing their history like armour, stepping forward with a fierce and quiet luminosity. Here, in the depths of noir, a new reign begins.
