Th e muse of poetry and philosophy, the foundation behind complicated creations and dazzling jewels, it remains an enduringly enticing concept. Yet when it comes to female beauty, that same notion can disillusion us. What defi nes it? Are we beautiful because we possess features objectively classed as such, or is beauty altogether more subjective? And, in an era of fi lters and face contouring apps, what happens to our confi dence and our understanding of the self if we don’t feel beautiful at all? Writing in the eighteenth century, philosopher David Hume said that “Beauty is no quality in things themselves: it exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a diff erent beauty. One person may even perceive deformity, where another is sensible of beauty; and every individual ought to acquiesce in his own sentiment, without pretending to regulate those of others.” It’s an expression that in today’s social media landscape carries more weight than ever. In an age in which notions of beauty have been reduced to identikit face and body shapes, a new appreciation is called for. As internationally renowned advanced aesthetic practitioner Dr Marwa Ali tells Bazaar, “For me, beauty is a celebration of individuality. I don’t want to create a copy/paste image. I don’t think that people appreciate that being diff erent is beautiful. I love being able to give people confi dence but also to make sure that they still look like themselves. We are all perfectly imperfect.” (Hit Refresh, page 124). Perhaps, then, we can learn something from the watches and jewellery adorning these pages – pieces that are beautiful not just for their appearance but for the craft, skill, storytelling, rarity, and heritage that has gone into their creation; not just a dazzling whole but a sum of many parts – and opt for a life less fi ltered and one which allows us to celebrate the unique attributes and quirks that make us tick.
