Chunky and Sculptural
Ooh, Let the Light In…
The girls are crazy for coquette. We saw an inkling of this trend towards the end of last year, and we predict it’s going to come into the cultural consciousness in full swing this year. Coquette is defined by soft, girlie motifs like pastel pinks, that one Lana Del Rey song, and bows on bows on bows. While the word itself means “a woman who flirts,” coquette-core is intrinsically by the girls, for the girls. The whimsical Diamond Swirly Bow Ring in white gold by Deutsch Fine Jewelry is a perfect luxury-imbued take on the croquette trend. Pair with the Bow Petite Diamond Fashion earrings by Ashi and a pretty dress in lace and pastel pink and embrace all the girlie vibes this year.
Spiritual and Symbolic
Let’s face it — 2023 was a doozy for a lot of people. Folks have been looking for comfort these days and connecting more with the spiritual and the ethereal to help them work through the tough year. Whether it's celestial, religious, or mystical, we’ve seen personal pendants and talismans taking center stage in the jewelry world these days. The 3x Orbit Pendant by Temple St. Clair evokes planetarium vibes with two yellow gold concentric rings around a moonstone center. The outer ring boasts a shining diamond pave that adds to the elegance of the pendant. For a more traditional motif, the Diamond Shared Prong Cross by Deutsch Signature is a gleaming symbol with six brilliant round white diamonds forming the sign of the cross. A talisman-style pendant can be a strong personal fashion choice, but it can also be a comforting totem for rough times. Amulets and pendants have been used for centuries as good luck charms and statement pieces for good reason — having a soothing item close to the heart can be a small form of self-care in 2024.
