CAN’T-MISS COLLECTION
Queen of Cabochons
Daria de Koning’s 8-year-old firm casts a spotlight on the beauty of cabochons. Cut to display maximum color—and sometimes to reveal cool inclusions—her cabochons cluster in soap-bubble formations set off by leggy prongs in 18k yellow gold. The on-trend styles (which start at $500) are American-made, and boast a slightly vintage and whimsical vibe.

Good Shape
At once minimalist and statement-making, these chic Nina earrings are distinguished by an attention-grabbing silhouette that’s small yet sleek and memorable. Some read them as half-moons and others see fans, but everyone agrees they are a stylish choice.
