Must-Have Diamond Jewelry

Must-Have Diamond Jewelry, Chosen By Our Designers

These are the pieces our designers would build a jewelry wardrobe around, chosen as much for how often they get worn as for how they look. Start with the earrings, because studs are the foundation of any collection: classic basket and martini settings, oval and pear-shaped pairs, flower studs for a softer outline and baguette studs with a touch of color. Clover huggies sit close to the ear for every day, and the drop earrings, in mixed shapes or a pear and emerald-cut pair, add movement for evenings. For necklaces, a floating diamond pendant, a delicate strand or a tennis necklace each layer easily, and the bubble initial necklace makes the edit personal. The east-west emerald tennis bracelet turns a classic line sideways for a more modern look. In rings, the asymmetrical flower and canary twin bloom designs show Amorati's signature style, the triple-strand crossover ring looks like a full stack in one band, and an emerald-cut solitaire shows the shape at its cleanest. Every diamond is lab-grown, and the edit spans solid gold, sterling silver and gold vermeil, so check the metal on each piece.
