Editor's Picks, Part 1
As the fashion editor of National Jeweler, I’m constantly exposed to new jewelry, whether I’m trying it on, exploring its texture or flipping through look books and images on my computer. While many of the designs I see are incredible,...
While many of the designs I see are incredible, I realistically can’t put every piece I drool over into my stories. Still, there’s jewelry I just can’t forget, and so here we are: the first in a series of blogs dedicated to some great jewels.
First up on my list is Donald Huber’s emerald Waterfall necklace (below), crafted of 1,200 carats of emeralds and 6.57 carats of diamonds set in 18-karat yellow gold ($175,000). The necklace--which I had the unforgettable pleasure of trying on--sits broadly across the shoulders, the emerald strings sweeping down in various lengths. A true statement piece.
I’ve got a penchant for feminine, delicate jewelry, and these Arunashi Japanese flower motif earrings (below, $19,600) are right up my alley. Made in 18-karat blackened gold with 4.58 carats of diamonds, the detailed curves of these earrings give off the right amount of sexy.
I adore the way Irene Neuwirth uses color in her designs. Her gemstones are bright, offering a serious pop of color in hues that are easy on the eyes and reminiscent of summer. Her 18-karat rose gold bracelet set with pink opal (below, $13,080) offers the width of a large cuff with flexibility in the hinges. I’d make this an everyday staple.
Although this piece is made for men, any woman can rock this look. From K. Brunini Jewels, this 18-karat gold Antler ring (below, $3,100) has just the right amount of edge. I like to feel my jewelry when I wear it, and the contours and little points of this ring make me think I’d be running my thumb along it all day. I also like the simplicity of the design--no gemstones, no diamonds, just a great shape that speaks for itself.
