CAN’T-MISS COLLECTION
X Factor
Jewelry designer Emily P. Wheeler, a veteran of the Bay Area tech scene, introduced her collection of diamond and gemstone fine jewelry in 2014 with a diamond-studded cigar band that caught fire with San Francisco’s social set. Wheeler’s latest collection of diamond-based designs plays with the X shape in innovative and unexpected ways: Thin slashes of 18k white, yellow, and rose gold—incorporating diamond pavé and baguette-cut diamonds—create beautifully off-kilter forms when crisscrossed. Even without the high-wattage sparkle of their diamonds, these designs would turn heads.
