Prue Leith by ZSISKA

Prue Leith’s passion for bold hues, statement accessories, and authentic self-expression has cemented her status as a style icon. We sat down with ZSISKA to uncover the story behind their collaboration with Prue - exploring how the partnership took shape and the inspiration and creative magic behind the standout designs.

How did the collaboration with Prue Leith come about, and what drew you to working together?

We have long admired Prue — her bold style, vibrant personality, and love of colour. Over the years, we spotted her wearing ZSISKA classics and pieces from our previous FLORA collection, but we never imagined working together. All that changed when her stylist, Jane, approached us at a trade show, confirming what we had always believed - that ZSISKA and Prue are a perfect match! From that moment, we knew something exciting was about to happen.

Prue has a lifelong love for bold, colourful jewellery - how did her passion influence the creative process?

Prue's love for colour and passion for jewellery was the driving force behind these collections. At ZSISKA, we already embrace bold design, but Prue pushed us even further - bigger, brighter, bolder. She encouraged us to experiment with unexpected colour combinations, unique shapes, and statement pieces. Every meeting was filled with positive energy and fun ideas, and we truly have an amazing time collaborating with Prue!

What was the inspiration behind the Prue by ZSISKA collection? What specific ideas or themes did Prue bring to the table?

Prue is surrounded by inspiration - her stunning home, her breath-taking garden, her passion for food, and her adventurous spirit. The FLORA and GARLAND collections, bursting with joyful floral motifs, take inspiration from the blooms in Prue’s own garden, while CALYPSO with its fiery playful shapes draws from Prue’s culinary background, particularly her love for chilli peppers. Every piece tells a part of Prue's life story filled with colour, joy, and adventure.

Can you tell us about the materials used in this collection? Were there any unique or unexpected elements incorporated?

Resin was the perfect material to bring Prue’s vision to life because it has a reflective shine similar to the richness of Murano glass, another of Prue's favourites. But what makes resin even more special is its versatility - we can layer colours, create unique textures, and shape it into bold, sculptural pieces that are surprisingly lightweight. Since every piece is handcrafted, no two are exactly alike, just like Prue herself! Some collections also incorporate metallic foils, intricate hand-painted details, and unexpected colour blends, making each design feel like a wearable work of art.

Prue has collected jewellery from all over the world - did any of her personal pieces or past influences shape the designs?

Prue has jewellery pieces from every corner of the globe and her collection is nothing short of spectacular. We had the chance to take a peek, and it was like stepping into a treasure trove of history and style. We took inspiration from the spirit of her collection rather than replicating it - creating entirely new pieces that reflect her love for statement jewellery but with a ZSISKA twist. We wanted to capture the essence of what Prue loves: jewellery that makes you feel special, that sparks conversation, and that brings happiness.

What was the most exciting or unexpected part of working with Prue on this collection?

Seeing our designs come to life on Prue herself — Prue does not just wear jewellery, she embodies it. As designers, there is no greater reward than seeing someone truly connect with your creations, and Prue made that experience unforgettable. Plus, her enthusiasm is completely infectious. You leave every conversation with a bigger smile!

How did you blend Prue’s vibrant, fun-loving aesthetic with ZSISKA's signature craftsmanship?

The collaboration felt completely natural. At ZSISKA, we have always celebrated colour, confidence, and craftsmanship - and Prue represents all three. From the very first design meeting, it was clear that we shared the same vision - jewellery should be fun, it should make you feel incredible, and it should never, ever be boring! Prue brought her playful, adventurous spirit, and we brought our expertise in handcrafted resin jewellery. Together, we created the perfect recipe and designed collections that feel effortlessly ‘Prue’ but still unmistakably ZSISKA. The rest is history!

Was there a particular design or piece in the collection that Prue was especially passionate about?

Prue loves all the designs, but there certainly are stand out collections. The FLORA collection, inspired by blossoming flowers, is an absolute favourite of hers - she adores the bright hues, the bold shapes, and the way they instantly transform an outfit. She also has a soft spot for the most playful, daring pieces in the collection - the ones that make a statement before you even say a word.

What do you hope people will feel when they wear pieces from the Prue by ZSISKA collection?

We want people to feel fabulous. PRUE by ZSISKA is not just about jewellery - it is about confidence, self-expression, and embracing the joy of colour. When you wear a piece from the PRUE by ZSISKA collection, we hope you feel just like Prue herself - fearless, fun-loving, and unapologetically bold. Whether you are dressing up for a glamorous event or simply adding a bit of sparkle to your everyday look, just like Prue, these pieces were designed to bring confidence and happiness to anyone who wears them.

At the heart of the PRUE by ZSISKA collection is a simple but powerful idea; jewellery should make you feel incredible. Whether it’s a splash of bold colour to brighten your day or a statement piece that turns heads, these designs capture the essence of Prue’s adventurous spirit.
