Wish list: bracelets to wear this summer
Thanks to the few recent days of sun we had in London I got into the mood of bright colours, patterns and gold. I surely had to complete my look with some jewellery and since summer means short sleeves, I chose a few stacking bangles. That made me think that I should do a selection for a fine jewellery wish list. Look, like and let me know what you think. There are also a few more irresistible cuffs in the gallery.
Cartier
Cartier cuff from the signature LOVE collection made of 18K rose gold completed with a stardust of white diamonds. Very elegant design that symbolises eternal love of two hearts joined together.
Faraone Mennella
Faraone Mennella is an Italian duo of Roberto Faraone Mennella and Amedeo Scognamiglio living in New York. They create fashion and couture fine jewellery. This stunning cuff bracelet is a perfect example of their couture line. Made of 18K yellow gold with rich green tourmaline, sky-blue aquamarines and wine-red rubellites it certainly portrays luxury.
Dior
Is there anyone unfamiliar with the signature geometric pattern of Dior? The house jewellery designer Victoir de Castellan remembers it from her childhood and this is where she got the inspiration from to create My Dior collection. There are a few variation of this design different in widths and used metals. In addition to them there is a the plain yellow gold cuff with diamonds and such gemstones as tsavorites, tourmalines, sapphires, emeralds, amethysts and beryls.
Elza Peretty
Elza Peretty’s style is simple but elegant and suitable for any occassion. This Tiffany&Co bracelet made of smooth 18K yellow gold and is so versatile that can be worn to a business meeting, a party or a romantic dinner.
Boodles
One of the recent Boodles jewellery collections is called Animalia. This 18K yellow gold bangle belongs to the collections and is called “Tortoise”. The name is perfect for the design which very precisely imitates the pattern of the tortoise shell. To complement this bangle there is also a ring and earrings in this collection.
Pomellato
These Pomellato bracelets of rose gold and cognac diamonds are a part of large Tango collection finished in white, yellow, rose and brown colours. Each of these bangles is beautiful on its own but the combination of all three looks just stunning.
Kiki McDonough
Fine bracelets from Kiki McDonough finished with faceted peridot and amethyst or topaz and citrine would add a hint of colour to any summer outfit. The gemstones on the bangle are of perfect colours to be combined with yellow gold and a beautiful summer tan.
