The Jeweller’s Style Edit ‘23

08 Nov 2022

Jewellery design inspiration can emerge from multiple sources – the fashion runways of London, Milan, New York and Paris; the street; a jumble of gorgeous gemstones; the designer’s imagination…

Editor of The Jeweller, Belinda Morris, has gathered a few of her favourite pieces created by or sold through NAJ members, that epitomise the trends that are strong now and will be taking us into 2023.

Ssssnakes

Symbols of eternal love or sexual desire – serpents have inspired jewellery since ancient times. Too scary for some… but I love them! Here in sterling silver.

Cuff It!

Josef Koppmann

Cuffs were big on the catwalks this year and the bolder the better. This designer puts his own sculptural spin on the classic cuff – in 24ct gold and silver, with druzy agate and diamonds.

Chain Attraction

Chains – they’ve been popular for a while – are getting chunkier, bigger and heavier…

Lucy Quartermaine

… and, as seen here in this gold vermeil ‘Hula’ bracelet, can feature textural links.

Mark Milton

And why stop at a 9ct gold chain necklace when you can add a 9ct gold chain to your wrist and punctuate with matching hoops?

Ti Sento – Milano

Or maybe throw in the vivid brilliance of created malachite and the subtle sparkle of cz stones to make the gold-plated silver links really shine.

Angle Poise

Jewellery with a sculptural, architectural or geometric edge makes a strong statement…

The Rock Hound

Not much comes on stronger than this spinning ring with its natural pink spinel framed from beneath by four rotating 18ct gold triangles. All responsibly sourced.

Perfect Pins

Tomasz Donocik

A respectful nod to our late Queen, or just because they’re beautiful… brooches are enjoying a moment. Take this gorgeous piece with smoky quartz, amber, citrine, yellow topaz, white topaz, white diamonds and white sapphires. (Actually no, you can’t take it, I’m sure it’s mine!)

Touchy-feely

Zemou Zeng

If, like me, you like jewellery that you can fiddle with, that moves and has a tactile quality, then Zeemou Zeng’s playful 18ct gold ‘Melody’ earrings with sliding beads of black onyx ae just the ticket.
