Don’t Let Disco has introduced The Opening, its second fine jewelry collection, featuring mixed-media pieces built around found objects and semiprecious stones. Designer Ashley Moubayed’s approach draws on antique jewelry techniques, Art Deco and midcentury design, and her personal history as a collector.
Jewelry brand Don’t Let Disco has introduced The Opening, its second fine jewelry collection, bringing together found objects, crystals and semiprecious stones in necklaces, bracelets, earrings and pendants. In a Harper’s BAZAAR report, founder and designer Ashley Moubayed describes an approach that combines historical jewelry techniques with vintage design references and personal collecting.
The collection builds on Don’t Let Disco’s first fine jewelry line, which debuted the previous spring and featured translucent quartz spheres known in the trade as “pools of light.” The magazine reports that Moubayed used 19th-century wire-wrapping techniques to incorporate the stones into jewelry. The new collection continues her interest in unusual materials and objects, including crystals, antique elements and stones selected for their individual character.
Among the designs described in the report are Universe pendants, made with colorful semiprecious stone discs and suspended in thin silver wire, and Keeper collars in sterling silver, shaped to hold the pendants. Other pieces mix beads with tassels and smoky stones, or use charms and mobile components to create necklaces with an intentionally irregular arrangement. These are examples of the collection’s range, rather than a complete product list.
Moubayed told Harper’s BAZAAR that pieces are designed to work as part of an evolving group. She demonstrated how a quartz bangle-pendant could hang from a link on her Totem necklace, adding another element to an existing arrangement. The report does not provide prices, availability dates, production quantities or a full retail catalogue.
Jewelry Designed to Build Over Time
The collection’s central idea is modular, personal styling: pieces can be worn individually or added to necklaces and other jewelry already in a wearer’s collection. That approach offers a different way to think about fine jewelry than buying a single finished set, while making the designs’ scale, attachment points and compatibility relevant to shoppers.
Its mix of sterling silver, stones and found-object references also connects fine jewelry with the broader fashion interest in vintage-inspired and expressive accessories. The source, however, presents the collection through its design and creative influences; it provides no sales figures, customer response or independent assessment of durability or value. Readers should treat claims about the pieces’ meaning or effects as design language, not as evidence of supernatural properties.

From Pools of Light to The Opening
The Opening follows Don’t Let Disco’s first fine jewelry collection, which Harper’s BAZAAR says launched the previous spring. That earlier line used quartz spheres whose shifting reflections gave them the trade name “pools of light.” The magazine notes that such stones were associated with magical qualities during the Victorian era; this is historical belief, not a verified effect.
Moubayed’s design background includes five years at Sotheby’s, where she directed marketing strategy across antiques including rare books, Renaissance paintings and 20th-century decorative arts. She told the magazine that the proportion and material choices of midcentury design, alongside Art Deco geometry and repetition, inform her work. The report also traces her interest in collecting and reworking objects to her family and to jewelry she took apart and recombined as a teenager.
“Everything we do is meant to be built upon.”
— Ashley Moubayed, founder and designer of Don’t Let Disco, speaking to Harper’s BAZAAR
Pricing and Availability Not Specified
The source does not state when The Opening went on sale, where every piece can be purchased, or what the designs cost. It also does not give a complete inventory, material specifications for each item, production numbers or information about whether the pieces are made to order. Harper’s BAZAAR discloses that it may earn a commission on products selected through its page, so the report is editorial coverage with a stated commercial relationship rather than a full retail announcement.
Moubayed’s references to magic, crystals and stones describe the collection’s inspiration and symbolism. The article does not establish that the jewelry has supernatural properties or makes health-related claims. The source material also ends while describing how she chooses stones, so it does not provide the full account of that process.
Retail Details and Collection Access
Readers interested in buying the collection will need to check Don’t Let Disco’s current sales channels for product listings, prices and stock information; the report does not name a launch date or announce a future event. Any further details about specific designs, materials or availability would need confirmation from the brand or a retailer.
For now, the confirmed development is the presentation of The Opening as the brand’s second fine jewelry collection, with designs grounded in stones, mixed materials and historical references. The source gives no scheduled next milestone, so subsequent updates on sales or expansion remain unknown.
