Golden opportunity
Nothing looks better on tanned skin than yellow gold, which, thanks to the current appetite for vintage jewellery from the ’70s and ’80s, is the only metal you should be wearing for sundowners this summer. Make like Dua Lipa at her wedding eve cocktail in Sicily and opt for Bulgari’s signature Serpenti watch, writhing with precious stones and diamonds, or Bella Hadid in Saint-Tropez with her stack of Pandora bracelets. We also recommend the Midas-touch tones of Goossens’s collaboration with Marbella Club, featuring Andalusian orange pendants and tangy quartz beads inspired by the iconic hotel’s gardens, plus the newest pieces from the Laurence Graff Signature Collection, imagined in sculptural links of yellow gold and diamonds.
Touch wood
Bohemian jewellery touches are essential to any high summer wardrobe, from healing crystals to chunks of turquoise. Jewellers are also leaning into designs honed from wood, like London-based Fernando Jorge, whose Deep Stream pieces are crafted from undulating curves of the louro wood indigenous to his native Brazil. Fellow Brazilian Ana Khouri has also incorporated rosewood into her latest one-off designs, which include a collar necklace pierced with diamonds. Munich-based jeweller Hemmerle, famed for using distinctive materials from mini mosaics to pebbles, incorporates amaranth wood into its signature Harmony bangles.
