If the last year has taught us anything, it’s that every single day is a cause for glittering celebration. It’s time for soaking in rays of beaming sunshine, for enjoying lengthy golden cocktail hours al fresco, for unbridled laughter, and for wearing layers upon layers of richly-toned jewelry that echo the technicolor wonderments of nature. Here, we spotlight three jewelry trends that are having a major moment, and are sure to bring a little extra joy into your day.

Vivaciously Verdant

Visionaries Graff, Chopard and Davidor capture the prana of life—in jewel form. —this season’s green is vivacious, effervescent and zestful. It’s the fresh mint in a citrusy cocktail, it’s a viridescent countryside view, it’s the dill in a perfect, crisp summer salad. These jewels present us with an opportunity to celebrate treasures from the gardens of life.

Pearls of Wisdom

Celebration is timeless. It’s a glittering marking of monumental occasions—and of the every day. Take for example, pearls. Pearls are formed when an irritant, like a speck of rock, enters the shell of a mollusk, which then begins to coat the object in order to protect itself. Layer upon layer and over time a natural pearl is formed. Just imagine that Buccellatti’s regal Prestigio necklace began with a few bits of rock! These stunning pieces mark the boundless possibilities that each of us is presented with—every day—in life.
