Welcome Spring with the warmth of bold, gold jewellery
TO CELEBRATE THE WARMER DAYS AHEAD, we pay tribute to the season’s trendiest and warmest hue — gold. From one-of-a-kind, statement necklaces and dainty, stackable pendants, to chandelier earrings and barely-there ear studs, nothing packs more punch in the fashion department than your good-old and decadent gold jewellery.
Whether in sunny yellow or warm pink, gold easily complements any skin tone. What’s more, it’s easy to dress up and down for any occasion. For red carpet-worthy looks, we look to Caratell’s dramatic handcrafted designs for inspiration. The Orchid necklace in 18K gold featuring a 14ct non-heated tanzanite is as beautiful as the flowers that inspired it.

Statement cocktail rings add a touch of edge and opulence to any ensemble. Emperor Jewellery’s multi-strand 18K rose gold rings can easily take you from business lunches to evening cocktails; while Dior’s Archi Dior 18K pink gold rings can be stacked for a more youthful appeal.

There’s never been a more fun way to play with jewellery than through stacking and layering. And Spring and Summer are just about the perfect seasons for this trend. Mikimoto’s Les Pétales de Ginza collection features pendants and long chain necklaces and bracelets that are fun to pair and mix and match.
