Make your Holidays shimmer with festive jewels – whether you wish to stay classic or make a statement, browse through our round up of cuffs, bracelets and necklaces to pick a favorite. We have also included a pair of earrings in our edit from a universal favorite brand – Hemmerle.

Undoubtedly a work of art, this beautiful jewelry crafted by the Munich-based family-run jeweler, is set in copper and white gold, and features tourmaline and sapphires. The Hemmerle family regularly travels across the world in their quest for rare materials and gems, needless to say their treasure trove is enviable as are the distinctive designs they continually conjure up with their unique finds – melo pearls, ancient carved jades and color changing garnets. So, if you are on a hunt for rare jewels, head to Munich or look up Hemmerle at one of the leading international fairs like TEFAF where they exhibit their latest collections.

A designer we’ve recently discovered and come to love is Mauro Felter. Who would have thought a ski teacher could turn jeweler and make organic designs that burst with color? This Italian designer draws upon history and nature, as well as objects and shapes. The white gold cuff from his Midnight Star collection features a gorgeous blue-green Australian boulder opal, surrounded by brilliant-cut white diamonds.
