CAN’T-MISS COLLECTION

Jade of Honor

Nadine Aysoy won the U.K. New Designer of the Year award in 2018, but isn’t yet well-known in the United States—a situation that surely won’t last. In a sea of casual-feeling fine jewelry, the London-based Aysoy’s collections are refreshingly sophisticated, even royal-feeling in their ordered elegance. For her Celeste series, the designer bejewels jade discs—her base element—with deeply saturated sapphires and tsavorite, then boosts the sparkle factor with white diamonds. Glamorous yet wearable, these mini works of art transcend fashion’s fickle tides.
