IF IT AIN’T BAROQUE
DON’T FIX IT
In the past, pearls that were
not perfect, round, or symmetrical were considered greatly inferior to their
perfectly formed cousins. Today, designers are seeing their irregularities as opportunities to create beautiful and original pieces, giving
these living gems a well-deserved place in the world of fine jewellery.

From rose cuts to brilliants and everything in between, diamonds come in all shapes and
sizes, and, of course, colours. Fancy diamonds not only bring record prices
at auction, but are dazzling in a wide variety of colourful
creations.

Black and white come together to create
strong designs for 2015. Opposites on
the tonal spectrum, one represents the
absence of all colour, while the other
is the presence of all colour. Black and
white diamonds, sapphires, quartz,
pearls, onyx, agate, and jade, are
among the most popular gemstones
evoking opposites that attract.

While single colors
in jewellery design are very popular, many creators are mixing things up, offering
a wide variety of colour combina-tions, with both contrasting and
complementary hues. Made with gemstones, metals, enamel, and pearls, these pieces are
as lovely and luxurious as Nature’s radiant
rainbows.
