The range will be sold in shops on board from December and will include a selection of silver cuffs, bracelets, rings, necklaces and earrings.
Hosting talks
Local Bajan silversmith and art jeweller Tiyi will also join Arvia each week in Barbados to host a talk about her range.
Earlier this year, she was commissioned to design a unique gold cuff and necklace for Arvia’s godmother, Nicole Scherzinger, which was presented to the singer and celebrity when the ship was officially named in Barbados in March.
Traditional and handmade
Tiyi has been designing jewellery since 1993 by using materials found in Barbados to create unique pieces which emphasise a sophisticated primal energy, rooted in traditional craftsmanship.
In 2001 she entered the Commonwealth Arts and Craft competition and won an award for the Caribbean region. The award gave her the opportunity to travel to Ghana, West Africa, where she studied metal product design at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology. In 2011, Tiyi won the Design Caribbean award for Best Innovation and Creativity.
‘It is so exciting that P&O Cruises guests will have the opportunity to purchase my jewellery on board Arvia,’ commented the designer. ‘Every piece is handmade in Barbados and each purchase will be the perfect way to remember a holiday on our beautiful island.’
