SILVER JEWELRY
On the awards podiums of the world, silver always plays second fiddle to its glitzier cousin,
gold. In the real world, though, silver jewelry is a style champion in its own right. With its
brilliant white color, the metal is a strong foundation for inspired design whether it features
gemstones or stands unadorned. Designs with streamlined architecture, gentle, pastel stones
and oversized bib-shaped necklaces show silver in its best light. — TANYA DUKES

Black and white patterns with hints of other hues are leading the way to enamel’s resurgence.
