My GiGi Ferranti summer fling.

It’s mid-June, which means it’s officially summertime! I hope you’ve got your sundresses ready, because I have the perfect jewelry to go with your summer style: GiGi Ferranti!

Chillin' poolside, all decked out in GiGi Ferranti jewelry!! Emeralds, diamonds, and turquoise - my favorite for summer.It’s been more than a year since we looked at GiGi Ferranti’s designs and the collection has grown spectacularly since the day that designer Gina first welcomed me into her Brooklyn studio with a plate of cookies (she’s the cutest).

The first time I saw GiGi Ferranti’s work, I was drawn to the collection’s unapologetic femininity, rendered in bold lines and bright colors. Those aesthetic building blocks remain present, but they’ve evolved as the collection has expanded to include both smaller, more versatile pieces and irresistible statement stunners like the Gia Deco emerald and diamond necklace I’m wearing in the photo above.

This is the glorious Gia Deco bracelet by GiGi Ferranti! With emerald and diamonds in gold.The Gia Deco collection is a personal favorite of mine (which should be a surprise to no one, since we all know how I feel about Art Deco style).

Here’s a closer look at the Gia Deco bangle, a fantastic piece that would be an bright spot in any jewelry wardrobe. I recently featured the coordinating Gia Deco earrings in an Instore Magazine feature that spotlighted cutting edge Art Deco-inspired designs. Deliciously geometric!

I'm calling this the summer of GiGi Ferranti! GiGi jewelry is all I want to wear by the pool.GiGi Ferranti’s Gia Deco collection may be the line I’m most obsessed with right now, but it’s impossible to talk about GiGi Ferranti without dedicating significant attention to her wildly popular Lucia stacking rings.

The Lucia stacking rings are based on a chevron motif that is integral to the GiGi Ferranti signature style. The chevrons are rendered in solid gold, openwork, studded with gems, in rosy or yellow gold or (new!) black rhodium plating, with moving charms or all metallic, fully encrusted in diamonds or now in a slender version set with a subtle line of gems or diamonds.

Lucia stacking rings by GiGi Ferranti! In gold, rose gold, or black rhodium with diamonds and gems. There’s something utterly enthralling about the Lucia stacks, isn’t there?

It’s rare that you see a whole stacking ring collection that’s truly based on differing versions of the same foundational geometry, unless that underlying principal is “plain gold band.” The more Lucia stacking rings you wear, the more irresistible the difference between each zig-zagging band of gold.

Four necklaces from Sutra.

Good morning, my darlings!

This week is crazy (lots of exciting things going on!) so I didn’t have time to finish the blog post I had originally planned to publish today…but I still wanted to give you something pretty to look at. Therefore, please enjoy these glorious necklaces from Sutra!

Two necklaces by Sutra! One is the Mother Earth necklace, with opal, emeralds, diamonds, and sapphires, and the other is a lovely diamond peacock feather.

Both light and lovely, but so very glamorous.

On the left, we have the Mother Earth necklace: a luscious 5 carat opal doublet surrounded by 4 carats of emeralds, 6 carats of sapphires, and 1.4 carats of diamonds. Colorful and enthralling.

On the right, we have a monochromatic stunner, the Peacock feather necklace. This elegant piece features 8 carats of diamonds in the feather and three more in the diamond-accented chain. Not too shabby.

Sutra tassel necklace with white diamonds and 2.5 carats of black diamonds in black and white 18K gold.This baby has a completely different vibe and I’m super into its bold look.

This tassel necklace comes from Sutra’s Black & White Collection, which explains the color scheme. It features a geometric, articulated tassel in 18K white and black gold with 2.5 carats of black diamonds and 0.5 carats of white diamonds. So glam!!

The rough diamond tassel necklace by Sutra has 105 carats of rough diamonds and 15 carats of faceted diamonds.And a bonus!

This one might appear to be subtle because of its color scheme, but that’s some major carat firepower. This is the rough diamond Y necklace by Sutra and it blazes with 105 carats of rough diamonds and 15 carats of faceted diamonds.

Aren’t they all glorious? Sutra as a brand is an eternal master of glamour and these beauties are a perfect example.

Which necklace is your favorite?? I’m drawn to the tassel, because I love tassels, things that move, and things with an Art Deco vibe…but the Mother Earth necklace is such wonderful gemstone colors, and the rough diamond Y necklace’s understated spectacle is highly seductive.

What do you think, my dears?
