Nothing wakes up a jewelry wardrobe like a new ring — especially one of the delicious candy-colored gemstone rings so popular for spring. Available in pastels, jewel tones and everything in between, these precious and semiprecious beauties can be found at many price points. Here are a few of my favorites:
The Picnic Ring by A & Furst
My all-time candy crush is the Picnic Ring by A & Furst, an example of the very finest Italian jewelry. Third-generation jewelers Carlo Antonini and his wife Kiki Furst moved from Milan to Napa Valley to form a new jewelry studio in 2008. They create sophisticated jewelry that reflects their international lifestyle — still made in Italy and marked by elegance and taste.
Four Magnificent Cartier Rings
These four Cartier rings are available at today’s Magnificent Jewels Sale at Christie’s New York: Aquamarine and diamond ring, estimated at $5,000-$7,000; Morganite and diamond ring, estimated at $5,000-$7,000; Yellow sapphire and diamond ring, estimated at $15,000-$20,000; Topaz and diamond ring, estimated at $5,000-$7,000.
The Nudo Petit by Pomellato
Readers of this blog know I return to the Nudo season after season…it’s a classic. The iconic Nudo ring is available in dozens of gorgeous colors — with or without diamonds. The Nudo Petit begs to be worn in multiples, mixed and matched with its larger siblings. For styles and prices, visit Pomellato.com.
The Albion Collection by David Yurman
Introduced in 1995, David Yurman’s Albion has been called “a Modern Masterpiece,” a design he loves to refine with new twists, textures and colors. Shown here: Amethyst with pavé diamonds in sterling silver, $675.
