After all, nobody would know better. Here is the jewelry buzz that’s making people swoon:

Show Stopping Earrings

It’s all about the ears. 

Take the Irene Neuwirth Gemmy Gem Beryl and Spessartine Garnet Yellow Gold Earrings, a one-of-a-kind pair handcrafted in 18-karat yellow gold. The earrings are set with yellow beryl and three round Spessartine garnet stones, finished on huggie hoops. The beryl totals 8.4 carats, and the garnet totals 3.2 carats. 

If you prefer blue and green hues, the Irene Neuwirth Gemmy Gem Multi-Sapphire White and Yellow Gold Drop Earrings are another one-of-a-kind pair. These 18 karat white and yellow gold earrings are set with vibrant, multi-colored blue and green sapphires and full cut diamonds. The sapphires total 10.02 carats, the diamonds total 0.64 carats and the diamond pave huggies total 0.22 carats. The diamonds are G-H Color/VS-SI Clarity.

For a slimmer piece, try the Jacquie Aiche Full Pave Small Fishtail Yellow Gold Earrings.

Beads Power

Beads are everywhere this season. From the neck to the wrist, Ylang 23 is entering a bead revolution.

The Ileana Makri Striped Black Agate and Multicolor Stone and Pave Ball Long Beaded Necklace is already a fan favorite. From Ileana’s Makri’s newest Globetrotter Collection, the Globetrotter Necklace is adorned with Tibetan black agate stripe beads, semi-precious gems, and sterling silver beads adorned with grey diamonds and enamel. The beads are 18-karat gold with a 9-karat yellow gold hook closure. The necklace measures 31.5 inches long.

If you’d rather wear your beads on your wrist, the Ileana Makri Striped Black Agate Pave Enamel Ball and Evil Eye Beaded Bracelet is a must-have. Also from Ileana’s Makri’s newest Globetrotter Collection, the Globetrotter Bracelet is adorned with Tibetan brown agate stripe beads, semi-precious gems, and sterling silver beads adorned with grey diamonds and enamel. Additionally, it features 18 karat gold beads on a silicone rubber cord. 

There’s nothing more powerful than a confidently dressed woman, and the Jacquie Aiche Turquoise Thunderbird on Faceted Apatite Rose Gold Necklace symbolizes just that. It’s all about power, protection and strength. Faceted apatite beads are strung and centrally display a carved turquoise thunderbird design. The necklace is handcrafted in 14- karat yellow gold and detailed in apatite and turquoise. It adjusts up to seventeen 3/4-inches long and the thunderbird measures approximately one 1/4-inches, finishing with a lobster clasp.

Is there anything more stunning than sapphire paired with gold? The Azlee Rich Sapphire Beaded Yellow Gold Necklace has a modern, intriguingly interesting and effortless feel.

Diamonds may be forever, but gold means true love.

A True Love Knot, also known as Bowen’s Knot, is a heraldic knot representing the connectivity of true love and is featured on the mid-sized mixed clip chain. The piece is handcrafted in 18-karat yellow gold and detailed in diamonds. The medallion measures 20 mm tall and the bracelet measures seven inches long.

The piece is handcrafted in 14-karat yellow gold and the signet’s face diameter measures 20 mm.

Gemstones Mania

Gemstones are also hot, hot, hot and completely of the moment.

Wear your garden on your sleeve with the Cathy Waterman Zambian Emerald Flower Yellow Gold Bracelet, perfect for everyday wear. Twenty two karat gold links are connected by bright Zambian bezel set stones all set to make a sweet flower. It measures approximately seven inches long and is finished with a toggle closure. If you’re looking for a gift for someone special, you can’t go wrong with this piece.

The Azlee Sapphire Diamond Yellow Gold Ring is both edgy and sophisticated, featuring  a blue sapphire center surrounded by two trillion diamonds, all set in a thick 18 karat gold band. The emerald totals .60 carats, the diamonds total .14 carats and the band measures 6.5 mm thick.

Add a pop of color to your ensemble with the Selim Mouzannar Multi-Sapphire and Tsavorite Link Hoop Earrings. The link drops feature multi-color sapphire stones along with bright tsavorite, all set in blackened sterling silver. The pair is handcrafted in sterling silver and detailed in multi-color sapphires and tsavorite. The link measures 3/4-inches long.

The chic and sparkling lock is the perfect addition to your piece. The lock is accented in bright, tsavorite stones, handcrafted in 14-karat yellow gold and measures 5/8 inches long.

Perhaps you’re looking to add to your ring stack instead. The Lizzie Mandler Round Emerald Knife Edge Signet Ring will stack beautifully with your other pieces. It features knife edge detailed gold with a central round emerald. An unmistakable Lizzie Mandler signature, the triangular knife-edge detail is woven throughout this collection.
