Spring is finally here. And with it colours, in a slew of tones from energizing vibrant to billowy pastels. This season also brings with it its own jewellery choices. While these choices are unlimited, they all point to joy and colour. Tinged with pink, lavender, azure and gold, lit up by sparkle and shine, spring jewellery is always uplifting and eye-catching. And pearls continue to feature in it, in a big way!
Here are some standout fine jewellery choices for spring.
Sakura Blooms
Imagine an avenue of Cherry Blossom trees in flower. It could be at the Osaka castle or around Tidal Basin in Washington DC. Now imagine a piece of jewellery that evokes these scenes. The Cherry Blossom Ring by MIKIMOTO, with one round white South Sea pearl and diamonds, is set in 18K pink gold. An elegant homage to the pink sakura blossom.
Sparkling Fireworks
Candy Hanabi Sparks Ear Jackets by Milamore Jewelry are set with gleaming white Akoya pearls and diamonds. Pink sapphires add a delicious pop of colour to these 18K recycled yellow gold earrings. “Hanabi” is a Japanese word that roughly translates to flower fire, an apt description of fireworks.

Flowers from a Moghul Garden
The gardens of Moghul India had flowers, but they also had water. Pools, fountains and running streams added another dimension of sensory delight. The Deepa Necklace by Modern Moghul, set with opals, diamonds and one large baroque freshwater pearl, brings a Moghul garden to life with precious gems. The evergreen floral design of this necklace, coupled with its cool and refreshing colours, beckon spring in all its glory.
The Ocean is Calling…
Spring is the gateway to summer, and while we can’t yet be spending endless, sunny days at the beach, we can still dream of them. Spiral Nacreous Shell Earrings by jewellery designer Silvia Furmanovich are set with grey Tahitian pearls, diamonds and a creamy white spiral nacreous shells. The 18K yellow gold, one of a kind earrings allow us to revel in the unadulterated beauty that is hidden in the secretive depths of oceans.
The Butterfly Effect
Goodbye winter scarves, the open collar is back and with it the quintessential pendant necklace. The Two Butterfly pendant necklace by Van Cleef & Arpels is a stylish classic. Its charm continues to enchant. Set with glossy, iridescent, calibrated white Mother-of-Pearl and diamonds, this pendant is mounted in 18K rose gold. A perfect piece of jewellery for spring? Oh, yes!
Treasures of the Sea
Spring is here, but there is still a slight chill in the air. And what better way to adorn your light jacket than with a stunning brooch. A multi-gem set brooch by Assael, from their NatureScapes collection.

Spring is in the Air
