SKY HIGH GOLD prices have done little to dampen jewelry lovers’ desire for this quintessentially luxurious precious metal. Years of whisper-thin stacking rings and tiny studs have given way to a hunger for chunky, weighty, substantive standalones as consumers crave eye-catching creations that aren’t afraid to take up space.
14K brushed yellow gold jewelry by Jean Basse includes Metro Collection earrings with diamonds (0.50 TCW), $3,000; and Octagon eternity bracelet, $2,800. All jewelry designed and made in Chicago.
