There is a rare meteorological phenomenon known as diamond dust, where microscopic ice crystals will fall from the sky on an otherwise clear day. While it occurs most often at high elevations or the poles, it can happen anywhere the temperature ducks below freezing. Perhaps you have experienced it firsthand… found yourself suddenly surrounded by a glimmering flurry suspended in air. It was surely a moment to savor, as if the entire world were frozen in time. We find gemstones much the same, a tiny miracle to carry with us (maybe just a bit more literally).
Key Piece
DIAMOND DUST: A stand-out for both shape and character, Lauren Wolf’s Salt & Pepper Snowflake ring shines among a collection of already exceptional diamonds. Part of our first capsule delivery from the Bay Area designer, this piece features a brilliant, kite-cut varietal set in platinum, flanked by a halo of champagne teardrops.
MORNING GLORIES: A favorite in-store, Greig Porter’s collection is most coveted for its devotion to color. In this single-strand necklace, dozens of emerald beads slowly graduate forward, punctuated by an array of 18K gold beads. An echo of royal collars of antiquity, this style emphasizes elegance.
POLAR PEARLS: Last, but far from least, a spotlight for Jean Prounis’ Tahitian pearl collar. Classically set, this piece features a 22K, Mycenae-inspired fibula closure so detailed you may be tempted to wear it clasp-forward. A particularly dark and iridescent varietal, these pearls glow like the sky in moonlight.
