A Different Angle
A bevy of hot bridal jewelry collections are tipping princess-cut diamonds on their sides to feature rhombus-shape center stones in their latest engagement ring designs. Recent styles from Karl Lagerfeld Bridal Jewelry, Scott Kay Jewelry, and Natalie K for Forevermark include the look, which has been dubbed “compass-set.” Going full tilt never looked so fierce.

Eastern Parade
Bold jewelry styles inspired by the curvaceous lines of traditional Indian and Middle Eastern design are always in demand. But in its latest collection, Simon G. has created a series of diamond-studded baubles that fuse classic Eastern aesthetics with an airiness of design that feels decidedly modern.
