We love this visual from HER EVERY FACET EÉRA SS22 campaign by Italian fine jewelry brand
Bringing a refreshing, contemporary aesthetic, here we see their Layered Lucy Necklaces in different color variations reflected to create a captivating abstract portrait that turns the ordinary into extraordinary. 💯
The mood you create around a product visual is sometimes what makes or breaks it. Color, light, setting are all imperative elements that create a story around your pieces and help to turn them into a visual. ✨

Way ahead of its time, the Milky Way Necklace created in 1969 by Bill Reid is a modernist jewelry masterpiece. 💎
It's complex three-dimensional design and edgy matrix-style diamond setting weaves together a web of diamonds on solid gold pyramid forms. The necklace itself is inspired by intricate and layered Haida art compositions and the gold wire joinery is a nod to constellations scattered across the sky. 🌠
How would you interpret this piece? ✨

We're in awe of this whole visual arrangement by for their Solar Plexus Earrings. ✨
Made with Tiger's Eye quartz discs and beads, citrine and diamonds set in 18k gold, these earrings are inspired by the third chakra known as the Solar Plexus. It's a very interesting and unique take on jewelry linked to chakras, a common, reoccurring theme since the past few years.
The warm, earthy colors in the image absolutely nail the whole concept around each piece and the design is signature Sauer. Color is, without a doubt, a key ingredient in Sauer's visual identity and design language along with their contemporary forms. ✨

Adding a little more zest to our feed with these beautiful yellow sapphire and diamond slice earrings courtesy of Jewellery Theatre UK and 🍋🍋
These lovely 18 karat gold slices were auctioned off at the Fine Jewels 2022 auction at Sotheby’s Hong Kong. We love the organic feel to these, with the gems mimicking the texture of the skin and the center with the seed details.
There are so many ways to perceive the same thing and we love this take on lemon slices. Out of the interpretations that we've seen, this is by far the closest to the real thing, yet it retains that feeling of finesse when it comes to fine jewels. ✨

Adding a little citrusy fun to our holidays with the 'Chase the rainbow' series, featuring a gorgeous cushion-cut Fancy yellow diamond ring by the diamond connoisseur 💎
Graff has always been a treasure trove of extraordinary and rare diamonds, diamonds that seem to almost float with minimal metal and more sparkle. ✨
And while we're on the subject, you might be aware of how yellow diamonds are the most common type of fancy diamonds. Well, here's a fun fact: Only about 1 of 16,000 carats in diamonds that are mined are chosen to rock on a ring, so that makes this looker something! 💍

The ring is made in 18K Rose gold with Sri Lankan Pink Sapphires and unheated Padparadscha Sapphires for a bright punch of color and champagne diamonds accents for the pavé. 💜🧡💗

Eclectic hues of pink, stunning ombré effect and oxidized arches and a minimalist feel, these featured by are a minimalist's fine jewelry dream. 😍
Shape and color are the foremost elements that make this simplistic design all the more fascinating. The use of less materials and reduced forms makes a bolder statement at times as compared to maximalist pieces. Don't you agree? 😀 What do you like most about this design?

These Opal pendants from are like mini galaxies encapsulated in delicate bezels. 🌌
WWAKE has some of the most gorgeous, delicate Opal jewels and Opals are without a doubt one of our all time favorite gemstones. Each one is different from the other and there's so many different varieties and patterns to choose from. Their painterly flashes of color comes from tiny silica spheres of different sizes formed from water. How cool is that! ✨
