Stephen Webster’s limited edition mosquito rings sold out on ASOS, which is a new record for the online fashion store and are now officially this winter’s hottest accessory.
The rings, seen on the fingers of Victoria Beckham and Erin O'Connor, are now expected to become lasting collectors’ pieces.
Webster, famed for his originality and cutting-edge designs, was originally commissioned by the Malaria Awareness Campaign to design a piece of jewellery to highlight the serious issue of malaria among UK travellers and to raise funds for the charity Malaria No More UK .
Webster responded to the brief with a one-of-a-kind fine jewel mosquito ring, which will be sold to the highest private bidder with an anticipated retail price of £15K and 660 limited edition replicas, which sold out exclusively on ASOS, at £50 each. All profits from the rings will be used to support the charity.
Stephen Webster said: "We made a commitment to fight malaria and we are doing so, one ring at a time."
