eG: What was it like shooting the latest Tiffany HardWear campaign? How does it feel being the face of such an iconic brand?
R: I am very honoured and excited to be a part of the HardWear campaign that I absolutely adore. I’ve worn Tiffany jewellery since I was in high school. To be a part of this brand that has been a part of my life for a long time makes it that much more special to me.

eG: What do you like most about the HardWear collection and how would you wear or style the pieces?
R: I love it because it is very stylish. I love how bold and chic you can look. I’m very interested in layering my necklaces these days.
eG: Are you more of a rose, yellow or white gold person?
R: I usually go for rose gold, but ever since I started wearing the HardWear collection, I’ve been into yellow gold. Originally, I used to think that yellow gold seemed a bit too fancy, but I’m definitely enjoying how fancy and fashionable the collection in yellow gold looks on me these days.

eG: Jewellery is always said to be a very personal thing. What is your first memory of Tiffany & Co.?
R: We used to collect money to gift each other cute little Tiffany necklaces and there was always that special excitement of receiving the classic Tiffany Blue shopping bag. I love how anyone at any age can enjoy a bit of Tiffany jewellery in their life.
eG: How do you feel when you put on a beautiful piece of jewellery?
R: All sorts of butterflies. Jewellery is always a lot of fun. When we put together an outfit for the day, whether that be for an everyday look or a whole extra look for a day at work, jewellery is always the cherry on top. You’ll never know how the outfit will look until you add the jewellery.

eG: Who or what empowers you?
R: Standing up for my own opinions and trusting in them, even if it’s for the smallest things.
eG: Who are some of the women you admire?
R: My mum. I still remember my mum when she used to work full-time back in New Zealand—how she would dress up in the most chic, boss-black fitted blazer and pencil skirt. Her dark red lipstick and perfectly styled hair. She always looked like a boss and she was always my idol. I always wanted to look like her when I grew up. I admire her in so many ways. How responsible, respectful and kind she is to the people around her. And mostly, I admire her for her unconditional love towards me and my sister. She is one selfless, yet strong and independent, human being.
