D’heygere has unveiled a new collaboration with artist and photographer Petra Collins, marking a fresh chapter in its ongoing exploration of experimental accessories. Known for her boundary-pushing work across visual art, fashion, and film, Collins brings her distinctive world of girlhood and nostalgia to the partnership. The collection is released under the banner of her exclusive SSENSE brand, I’m Sorry by Petra Collins, and blends Collins’ surreal femininity with D’heygere’s irreverent, avant-garde design language.

The result is a jewelry collection steeped in themes of adolescence, personal memory, and playful expression. D’heygere’s sculptural approach meets Collins’ highly stylized vision of femininity, where the sentimental and the eerie often coexist. The pieces don’t just accessorize, they tell stories. Across rings, earrings, and necklaces, the collection reflects a vision of girlhood that is both whimsical and darkly humorous, infused with the kind of emotional texture that defines Collins’ wider creative universe.
For Collins, girlhood has always been a site of creative energy. Her early years were filled with self-expression through art, photography, and the carefully curated chaos of her bedroom. “My bedroom was a shrine to my dreams and ambitions,” she recalls. “It was a space where I could escape and imagine something beyond what was in front of me.” That world-building continues today in her fashion label, her photography, and now in this collaboration with D’heygere, which brings tactile form to her nostalgic sensibilities.
The collection includes pieces like the diary necklace, nail earrings, and candle love ring, each an object charged with symbolism and subtext. There’s a deliberate clash of textures and references: the fragility of teen dreams alongside the kitsch and mess of real life. The objects carry both humor and melancholy, encapsulating Collins’ talent for revealing the surreal within the everyday.
One of the most personal designs is the Cookie earrings, where tiny ants crawl across the surface of a biscuit-shaped form. The piece is inspired by a childhood memory from Collins’ time in Hungary. “My grandmother told me never to leave crisps or cookies open, but of course I did,” she says. “I’d wake up early, go downstairs, and see hundreds of ants covering them. It terrified me, but it also stuck with me. That’s part of the inspiration, it’s very I’m Sorry.” With this collaboration, D’heygere and Petra Collins have created a collection that feels like an open diary, raw, weird, emotional, and knowingly offbeat. These pieces show how jewelry can carry stories, turning personal moments into something both intimate and wearable.
