spring shades.

New buds. Flowers being born everyday. Spring is full of vivid colours and a sense of the earth being re-born. That is why no spring collection would be complete without some delightful shocks of colour.
An unusual-cut peridot surrounded by a rim of brilliant cut diamonds make this ring the ultimate in a spring-time statement. This ring was designed and created by Dino in our downtown studio. It is also up on our website, check it out.

While agate, a form of quartz, is one of the most abundant minerals on the planet - agate this vivid is certainly not common place. This turquoise agate ring recalls Caribbean beaches or endless summer skies - either way it makes for a truly wonderful ring. Set in 18k white gold, this ring as designed and created in our studio as well.

Oh April..

Maybe it's the April showers, but this month I have found myself drawn to dramatic blues – the lucid shades of aquamarine and vibrant blue topaz especially.

So why not indulge in a little tour of some of the stunners at 18Karat?



Inspired by a floral bouquet of traditional and regal form – to me this stone seems reminiscent of the historical aristocracy... maybe a trinket of a French lady, or a Marie-Antoinette....

And we are back from my romantic wanderings.

This beautiful pendant features a striking 1.52ct. blue topaz, as well as 4 marquises cut diamonds and baguette accents – set in 18k white gold.

$895





If you think size is what matters, then this 9.5ct. giant will certainly drive you wild – not only is she big, but beautiful as well.

This fancy floral cut aquamarine takes me to a remote Hawaiian beach with exquisite Polynesian flora... not to mention the cocktails.

Like everything else we build, this gem is set in 18k white gold.

$2450



The bezel is the oldest setting for a gem to occupy, and maybe that helps to explain the inherent romance this ring seems to hold – or possibly the intricate heart detail.

The setting, shape, and detail of this ring speaks to a Renaissance design sensibility, and for that, we love this little Romeo and Juliette ring.
Set in 18k white gold, with a 0.35ct. aquamarine at its center and 4 round cut diamonds flanking it.

$890




Enjoy the sunshine between the showers!
