SQUARED UP While we love feminine, romantic styles, we also love geometric stones and shapes that lend a cool edge to fine jewelry. Nam Cho’s incredible Navajo earrings feature over 17 carats of diamonds, including 13.30 carats of perfectly-set baguette diamonds. The Perpetual Motion ring from Yael Sonia mixes graphic lines with movable spheres. In addition to being fun to play with, some pieces are convertible. You can string a chain through two holes in the band and wear it as a pendant. Jemma Wynne is wildly popular among the cool-girl set, with its sleek lines and modern, unfussy approach to fine jewelry. We love these chic diamond fans from Butani, which feature over 600 individual diamonds. Looking to antiquity, David Webb uses chased 18K gold in his beautiful Step Cuff, which will make quite a statement on the wrist. The Bouton d’or collection at Van Cleef & Arpels features gold buttons ( bouton ) and ranges from flower rings to sharp shapes, and all are available in the pictured colors or with carnelian and mother-of-pearl. Anita Ko’s Ava cuff has a sunburst of baguette and round diamonds atop a gold bracelet with even more baguette diamonds.
