Strange Magic
What W’s Jewelry and Accessories Director, Claudia Mata, is fantasizing about this month.
I wish I could figure out how jeweler Lorenz Bäumer set the side stones on this amazing ring. Get a closer look when his shop opens on the Place Vendôme in Paris this spring. (18k pink gold, pink tourmaline, sapphire, pink spinel, and citrine ring, $29,625, lorenzbaumer.com)
G—yes, that’s the house’s full name—creates couture-quality bijoux, like the bracelets below made with mesh from a vintage handbag. (18k yellow gold, emerald, and yellow diamond bracelets, $300,000 a pair, Bergdorf Goodman, New York, 212.872.8900)
These sparkly little briolettes from Chopard look like raspberries. (18k white gold, pink sapphire, and diamond earrings, price upon request, us.chopard.com)
The way When Martin Katz first designed these bows (left), a client loved them so much, he bought them on the spot—paying Katz to not reproduce them. For the company’s 25th anniversary, Katz is re-creating his most acclaimed micro-pavé pieces, including similar bows. (18k gold and diamond brooches, prices upon request, martinkatz.com)
