Piece of the Week: Jade Trau’s ‘Poppy’ Bracelet
It’s from the new collection of the same name.
Jade Trau doesn’t have a favorite jewel when it comes to her new “Poppy” collection, however.
She created the collection in honor of her grandfather whom she called Poppy, and who would have turned 101 this year.
Also inspired by the organic feel of poppy flowers, the collection has plenty of options when it comes to bold, standout pieces.
When pressed, Trau called her “Poppy Line Bracelet,” our Piece of the Week this week, especially luxurious.
“It feels like velvet on the skin and is unassumingly wearable despite its scale,” Trau explained.
“I also feel like it's edgy and sexy, but also classic and timeless all at the same time.”
The Poppy Line bracelet features 11.4 carats of diamonds set in 18-karat rose gold. It also comes in yellow gold and white gold.
Priced at $59,000, it’s available now on JadeTrau.com.
