CHANGE OF HEART

Interchangeable jewelry sets from MARK HENRY — the designer jewelry collection that
specializes in featuring alexandrite — follow
the reasoning that it’s a woman’s prerogative to
change her mind. A concealed clasp inside each
ring releases to allow its central element to be
worn as a pendant, too. No one could possibly
have second thoughts about the wisdom
of getting twice as much wear from a jewelry
purchase. markhenryj.com

RAINBOW BRIGHT

MATTIOLI’s just-introduced set of earrings will be a
comfort to anyone who believes firmly in color coordination.
Housed in a chic little black box, it contains 18K
gold huggies with 11 different mother-of-pearl drops in
hues from raspberry pink to smoky gray. And for days
when it’s impossible to choose, the mini hoops can go
solo.

COLOR SCHEME

LONGINES has a
nearly 200-year history
of watchmaking
innovation, including
creating timepieces
for explorers and
aeronautics pioneers.
And the Swiss manufacturer
lavishes just
as much consideration
on the aesthetic
appeal of its creations.
This year its famed
La Grande Classique
women’s watch received
an infusion
of color — pink, blue
or white-on-white —
with the addition of
new mother-of-pearl
dials with star-shaped
decoration and pastel
alligator straps. To
match the delicate
color palette, the
model is available in
a petite 24mm and
29mm case sizes.

COLOR WHEELS

COSTAR IMPORTS combines a trio of failsafe elements in its stackable
ring collection: diamonds, colorful birthstones and a simple band silhouette.
The totally customizable pieces can combine multiple gemstones
on request, plus prong and bezel-set variations. While they were created
with weddings in mind, their appeal is more than matrimonial.

WORDS OF WISDOM

Jewelry brand WONDROUS gives pep talks with its
pendants. They’re packaged with upbeat gift cards
that correspond to a variety of themes — nautical,
inspirational, outdoorsy — or simply ask “Will you
be my bridesmaid?” Envisioned as gift items, most
of the gold-plated necklaces feature the word “wondrous”
on one side and on the other “today, tomorrow
& always,” along with a charm. And there’s no
rule against gifts to self.

A FISH TALE

Dory’s Tale, the Pixar film that’s a sequal to Nemo’s underwater
adventure, debuts this summer. ALEX WOO
has created a limited-edition line of jewelry inspired by
the film, so that die-hard fans of the franchise can take
home a memento of the film. And the designer has even
more to celebrate than her latest collaboration. This
year marks the 15-year anniversary of her business.

MALE MODELS

DANIEL KOREN knows that love for jewelry crosses
gender lines. That’s why he’s added a men’s collection
to his Dani by Daniel K range of designs in sterling silver
with simulated diamonds and created gemstones.
Pieces include cufflinks decked in glittering emerald-
cut stones and dome rings with satiny blue stones.
It won’t be surprising if women shoppers decide to borrow
a few pieces from the boys.

STEEL YOURSELF

CHARRIOL reinvents its signature
steel cable construction
over and over, each time putting
an unexpected spin on the
familiar material. Laetitia is the
latest collection to do just that.
The range of ultra-thin bracelets
and rings — some featuring
sterling silver motifs like hearts
and arrows set with gems — are
building blocks for a personalized
collection of bangles,
stacked rings or for pairing with
one of the brand’s watches,
which have cable details of their
own.

fashion jewelry collection,

and good sense.
