Founded by Damson Idris, Didris is not simply a jewelry brand but a declaration of identity, ambition, and memory forged into metal. In a market saturated with trends that burn bright and fade quickly, Didris dares to slow us down, to make us feel the weight of permanence. Every curve, every stone, every clasp is a conversation between where you’ve been and where you’re going.
This isn’t about ornaments, it’s about signals. Each piece is proof that jewellery can be both adornment and affirmation, both style and story. Didris earns its place not by demanding attention but by quietly insisting on meaning. Each piece is proof that jewellery can be both adornment and affirmation, both style and story.
And so, we present our Editor’s Top 5 Picks from Didris. Not because they glitter the most, but because they say the most. These are pieces that push creative boundaries while holding space for legacy, intimacy, and power. Each chosen not just for design, but for the narrative it carries; the quiet tension between timeless tradition and the daring edge of tomorrow.
1. Dogtag Pendant with Emerald
The dogtag, long a symbol of identity and sacrifice, is reborn in Didris’ hands. The Dogtag Pendant with Emerald carries the brand’s monogram not as a logo to flaunt but as a vow: an embrace of love, engraved in gold.
Crafted in 18K yellow gold (8 grams) and centered with a 0.75-carat emerald, this pendant balances strength with vulnerability. The dogtag’s sharp geometry softens under the glow of the emerald, a stone of rebirth and vision.
An Editor’s Pick for its rare ability to transform the iconic into something deeply personal. Also, for its reinvention of a classic symbol and its intimate power.
2. Gem Extender Bracelet
The Gem Extender Bracelet, set in 41 grams of 18K yellow gold, it holds ten tourmalines totalling 53 carats sourced from Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa. These stones, each unique in hue and cut, embody the richness of the landscapes they come from.
What sets this piece apart is its duality: it stands alone as a statement bracelet yet can also extend the Tahitian Pearl Necklace. It is a metaphor for legacy; never existing in isolation, always adding to what came before.
An Editor’s Pick for its singular allure and meaningful connection; a piece that redefines luxury as adaptable, daring, and utterly unforgettable.
3. Monogram Cuff
At 72 grams of 18K yellow gold, its sheer presence demands attention. The design repeats the Didris monogram, inscribed like a mantra across its surface.
Set within are 24 diamonds (5.64 carats, FG-VVS/VS, Kimberley Process certified) and 12 Zambian emeralds (2.66 carats) The diamonds speak of clarity and endurance, the emeralds of renewal. Together, they create a rhythm of light and shadow, power, and grace.
What makes this cuff exceptional is its intimacy cloaked in dominance. The internal hinge allows it to open only for the wearer, a private ritual within a public statement. This is an heirloom, a coded language of identity.
4. Wide Ring
If Didris has a heartbeat, it lies in the Wide Ring, Damson Idris’s personal favourite. Forged in 18K rose gold (15 grams), its surface flows with ridges that evoke the currents of memory and time.
Threaded through its design are 10 Zambian emeralds (0.8 carats) and 8 natural diamonds (0.05 carats, FG-VVS/VS, Kimberley Process certified). Their placement is deliberate; green against white, earth against fire; balancing boldness with restraint.
An Editor’s Pick, celebrated not only for its exquisite craftsmanship but for the profound resonance it evokes. This is the piece the founder himself wears. It is substantial enough to feel like armour, yet intimate enough to be a secret between the hand and the heart. And because it is handcrafted to your size, it resists mass production. This is jewellery made to belong, not just to a body, but to a life.
5. Maxi Necklace
Every collection deserves its crown, and Didris finds it in the Maxi Necklace. At 18 grams of 18K yellow gold, it is delicate yet commanding, its strength drawn not from weight but from meaning.
Adorning the chain are 16 tourmalines, a white topaz, and a peridot; each stone has a different voice, united in harmony. They are set in Didris’ signature six-claw setting, with each claw representing a member of Damson Idris’s family. It is not just design; it is tribute.
As our final Editor’s Pick, the Maxi Necklace embodies the Didris philosophy in full. It is about family, unity, and the brilliance of individuality within togetherness. Handcrafted to size, it requires patience, trust, and the belief that something worth keeping takes time. This necklace does not merely decorate, it consecrates.
What sets Didris apart is not only its craftsmanship but its courage to mean something. These five pieces are more than fine jewellery; they are statements of legacy. They ask us to embrace patience in an instant world, to honour the past while daring toward the future, and to see jewellery not as ornament but as story. Didris is a legacy, and with every piece, it whispers: this is who you are, and this is what you carry forward.
