Diamond Jewelry for the
Art Lovers in Your Life
There’s nothing quite like a jewelry gift that shows the artist’s imprint—that personal touch that makes it special and irreplaceable. A jewelry design that is slightly imperfect, one that illustrates the artisan’s hand in sculpting the gold or painting a portrait, is imbued with a sense of humanness. A jewel with that tactile quality becomes an instant talisman and cherished gift.
Designer Jean Prounis’s jewelry has that tactile quality as though you could feel the artist’s imprint on these gold and diamond earrings. That personal touch is also evident in Jenna Katz’s hand-fabricated floral pendant with a diamond center. In a different style, designer Nina Runsdorf partnered with British style-maker Alex Eagle on a limited series of colorful diamond earrings. Kismet by Milka’s diamond cuff is wrapped around a handwoven silk cord.
Goldsmith Kelty Pelechytik collaborates with an artist who hand paints commissioned portraits (usually a lover’s eye) on a gold ring that is covered with a thin portrait-cut diamond. It doesn’t get more personal than that.
