Cartier Love Bracelet
Is there anything more iconic than the Cartier Love bracelet bangle? Designed decades ago to symbolize enduring, forever love, the iconic piece is not only a token of love and devotion but is also one of the most iconic bracelets, dare we say it, of all time? Available in rose gold, gold, white gold and with or without diamonds the bracelet is secured with a screw — yep, a real screw — and has its own little screwdriver to put it on or take it off.
It’s common to wear the Cartier Love bracelet alone, stacked with others, or with accompanying pieces from the collection like rings, necklaces and earrings, too. And, nearly all Cartier pieces have serious resale value, so you can feel pretty good about spending whether you buy new or pre-worn.

Antique & Vintage Revival Jewelry
Much like how the fashion of 2023 has featured serious nods to decades of old, the jewelry trends have had serious vintage and antique vibes, too. There’s a palpable resurgence of interest in sourcing pre-loved pieces and tracking down hard-to-find heirloom or historical pieces like Art Deco diamond rings, vintage brooches and classic pearls. Plus, buying antique and vintage jewelry is eco-friendly and just feels good, too.

Chopard Red Carpet Collection
It doesn’t get any more glam than the Red Carpet Collection by Chopard. Ideal for the fanciest events and high-profile gatherings the collection is filled with bold gemstones, draw-dropping jewels and even some pieces you might recognize from the red carpet. Led by creative director Caroline Scheufele , the theme of the 2023 Red Carpet Collection is art, and it showcases 76 creations inspired by iconic art, sculpture, paintings and more. To nobody’s surprise, the Red Carpet Collection gets much attention from the Hollywood elite — though we’re thinking most of those pieces are borrowed, not bought, as the price tags are as out-of-this-world as the designs themselves.

Mikimoto Pearls
Though pearls never truly went out of style, they did become a genre of jewelry that isn’t so often used these days, until now. Consider 2023 the year of the resurgence of the pearl, specifically Mikimoto pearls which is currently celebrating their 130th anniversary of creating the first cultured pearl. Pearls have been considered a symbol of refined taste and elegance for hundreds of years, so it only makes sense they’ve made a “comeback” of sorts. From single stranded bracelets and necklaces to more bold designs featuring diamonds and other rare gems, Mikimoto Pearls are a must-have jewelry piece of 2023.

Chunky Designer Brooches

Layered Pieces
Whether you mix metals or keep it all one tone, the concept of creating a go-to “stack” of necklaces or bracelets (or both) has continued to sweep editorials, runways, and the most stylish streets this year. From charm bracelets to simple chains and even the introduction of permanent jewelry, finding the perfect combination of styles that complement one another and are comfortable when layered can be a challenge, but one that is well worth it.
