GILDED AGE

A rich seam of MULTICOLOURED gold runs through spring’s chicest jewellery

This season, the jewellery worldw is reigniting its long-standing love affair with all things gold. From the fashion-forward brands, we have fallen for Dolce & Gabbana’s drop pendant necklace and Dior’s chunky ‘nugget’ ring. We’re also enamoured with BottegaV Veneta’s white-gold oversizehoop earrings, and Solange Azagury-Partridge’s star rinng. For more traditional shapes, look to Georg Jensen’s elegant stacking rings in white gold, or Roberto Coin’s rose-gold cuffs.

Fine jewellery, just like fashion, has its own style rules. Not so long ago, for example, mixing different hues of gold just wasn’t done. But recently, jewellers have experime increasingly ented with combining yelellow, white, and rose golds; and the result, especially inn the form of Cartier’s perfect trinity of bracelets, is simply beautiful.
