Ruby, coral, tourmaline and garnet: jewelry with the color of the year 2023

Pantone’s Color Institute welcomes 2023 with a bright, vigorous and explosive hue: it’s Viva Magenta 18-1750. A vibrant shade that replaces the soft and delicate character of Very Peri periwinkle (color of the year 2022). Find out more.

Viva Magenta: the jewels of 2023

Within the official press release, the Pantone color of the 2023 was described as “an unconventional hue for unconventional times”. A bright and vital hybrid that mixes red and purple, warmth and freshness with a very strong tendency toward the most exuberant and spontaneous experimentation. Green light, therefore, to stones such as ruby, red tourmaline (or rather rubellite), garnet in rhodolite and almandine variants, and of course the highly prized red diamond, the rarest in the world.

Ruby: stone of the year

In the year of Viva Magenta, a ruby ring or necklace is bound to be at the forefront of the hottest trends on the catwalk. Thanks to the stone’s versatility, there are many different ways to sport a gorgeous ruby: ring, pair of earrings, precious necklace and many more. Here are the red ruby jewelry pieces that cannot be missed in the trendiest jewelry boxes:

– ruby ring: a ruby ring is the ideal bijou to showcase such an intense and precious stone through the simplest of gestures. Also perfect for the new year are rings with rubies and other stones, such as a wonderful ruby and diamond ring. A combination that enhances the personality of the jewelry even more through particularly fine combinations.

– ruby earrings: like ruby rings, earrings with the same stone are also a simple and highly refined solution for being trendy with a truly immortal piece.

– ruby necklace: a ruby necklace can take on a thousand guises, from the minimal single-stone necklace to the opulent opera necklace. Whatever your choice, 2023 will be the year to wear it as much as possible.

Coral necklace: a hot classic

The triumph of the fiery hues representing the hottest pigments of Viva Magenta determines the return of the red coral necklace. A great classic ideal for pairing with other jewelry made using the same precious material. For an exceptionally luxurious and trendy parure, you can wear a multi-strand coral necklace in combination with coral lobe earrings, or opt for a coral medallion necklace to match red coral pendant earrings.

Red tourmaline: the allure of rubellite

Mounted at the apex of a ring, on button earrings, or inside a necklace, tourmaline adds a deep, vibrant touch to an outfit that is reminiscent of the hues of a rich, round, rosy red wine. Sport this wonderful nuance, very close to the original Viva Magenta, in the form of a white or yellow gold tourmaline ring or a colorful spotlight: with a tourmaline necklace you will give your look a burst of energy and sophistication.

Red diamond: the king of the category for the 2023

Have you ever seen a red diamond ring? This very special stone features the rarest hue in its category and consequently stands at the pinnacle of preciousness. Even more unmatched than an (already highly prized) ruby and diamond ring, a piece of jewelry that mounts red diamonds is a jaw-dropping piece to be worn with pride and extreme elegance.

Whether you’re looking for pre-loved jewelry ready to be back on trend such as coral and gold earrings or precious ruby and diamond rings, the Ledial catalog offers a fantastic showcase of carefully selected bijoux: click here to find your favorite.

Red carpet jewelry: the trends sported in Venice

Cinema, fashion, the international jet set and red carpet jewelry. Venice sets the standard, and the runway shows at the seventy-ninth annual Venice Film Festival offered us an opportunity to appreciate the trends most sported on the iconic red carpet, precious ones in the lead.

Red carpet: jewelry and fashion statements

The dreamy gowns worn by the guest stars in the enchanting setting of the Lido could only be complemented by jewelry to match. The red carpet saw a parade of the major high jewelry houses, which offered sophisticatedly retro or boldly contemporary looks complemented by sumptuous women’s bracelets, dangling earrings, sophisticated brooches and timeless gold necklaces.

Collier: a triumph of interpretations

As multifaceted and striking as the roles on the silver screen, the choker necklace has appeared on the décolletage of several stars. From the traditional gold choker to the brightest choker-effect diamond chokers, this accessory has complemented many successful outfits to perfection: sophisticated white gold chokers, traditional proposals with multicolored stones, and bold white gold and diamond chokers have taken turns on the red carpet.

Jewel brooches for elegant dresses: the star detail

Another accessory that is definitely back on the crest of the wave is the decorative brooch, capable of attracting so much attention that it centralizes all need for brightness and allows necklaces, bracelets and earrings to be left at home. Among the jewel brooches worn by stars, one particular diamond-studded creation in an extra-large version definitely took the scene…

The rings: diamonds, gold, stones and maxi formats

One piece of red carpet jewelry that should not be underestimated is definitely the one that adorns the manicured hands of the most prominent divas. At Venice 2022, eye-catching models full of personality such as the Bulgari ring in the shape of reptilian coils or the sinuous knot signed Pomellato triumphed.

Bracelets: on the wrist of stars

Among the red carpet jewelry we also find bracelets, less worn than other accessories but certainly not negligible. The most popular models are those that take up the shape of the other jewels worn for an elegant parure effect. The trend that will lead the way? A band bracelet, possibly brightly glowing.

Earrings: hoop, spot light or cascade

Vintage-flavored gold earrings, diamond spotlights, and, above all, dangling earrings with a decorative spirit that descend to the shoulders bringing color and brightness to enhance cleavage and hairstyle. The comeback not to be missed? That of gold hoop earrings, sported in both minimalist and more opulent variants.

Red carpet: Venice, jewelry and pre-loved spirit

On the famous red carpet, we saw the creations of iconic brands such as Cartier, Bulgari, Gucci, Tiffany, Pomellato and Buccellati take turns. In spite of the new collections, however, many stars have complemented their outfits by wearing wonderful vintage pieces or those belonging to past collections.

Ethical jewelry: the sustainability of pre-loved valuables

Ethical jewelry is an important frontier in the journey toward sustainability as applied to the luxury. From red carpet VIPs choosing used jewelry (and clothes, too!) as a take on the eco-friendly to the pre-loved philosophy. This new green trend helps us maintain a style that is unique and trendy while respecting the planet.

Ethical jewelry: the “3 R’s” of pre-loved

The circular economy, finds its basis in a simple and straightforward philosophy that can be summarized in three “R”. These are the initials of the words “resell, reuse, regenerate” (resell, reuse, regenerate).

With this in mind, the beauty of used vintage jewelry is no longer limited only to its uniqueness and their special character. But goes beyond these qualities to emphasize their value in ethical terms. The reclaimed jewelry satisfies our craving for luxury by limiting the practice of mining. The consumption of exhaustible resources and the use of new materials of animal origin, helping us to respect the Earth, its environments and its inhabitants more. Considering the case of gold jewelry vintage, for example, we can appreciate how the trend to regenerate, modify and actualize such jewelry contributes decisively to the limitation of virgin gold mining. A practice with an environmental and social impact that is no longer negligible.

Buying refurbished jewelry: why it pays off

In different sales markets, vintage jewelry and jewelry contemporary pre-loved represent the most sustainable choice for anyone who wants to indulge in the luxury of wearing something beautiful and distinctive. They also reflects green principles.

But what is reconditioned jewelry?

A reclaimed (or reconditioned) precious is an accessory that has been “already been loved” by someone (here is the meaning of pre-loved) and that undergoes a careful refurbishing procedure to be worn by another person. In addition to being equal in quality to new, if not even better in the case of workmanship that is now rare or disappeared. A refurbished piece of jewelry usually has a lower cost than its counterparts never worn. This means that the sustainability of ethical pre-loved jewelry should not be understood as an exclusively environmental feature. But also as an advantage in terms of economics at the level of quality-price ratio.

The timeless charm of pearls

A true pearls necklace never goes out of trend. Learn more about the queen of classic and trendy styles.

Have you ever observed closer the unrivalled fineness of a true pearls necklace? In combination with sober pearl earrings and also a pearl bracelet to obtain a parure of the utmost elegance, it confirms itself as an indispensable jewel for anyone who loves a distinct and elegant style.

Let’s take a back step: how is a pearl born?

From water to pearl earrings: the origins

These precious elements with their characteristic milky color are formed when a foreign element (for example a grain of sand, but also a small seaweed or a fragment of shell) accidentally enters in a mollusk causing a very particular reaction of isolation.

Not being able to free itself from the intruder. In fact, the animal starts to secrete a particular substance, the mother-of-pearl, which goes to envelop the foreign body in this way making it harmless.

Today this process is cleverly powered by man to obtain cultured pearls, now accessible to everyone.

Necklaces with pearls: yesterday and today

Human attempts to introduce foreign elements (called nucleus) in pearl mollusks to obtain this precious jewel began several centuries ago. Kokichi Mikimoto, the “lord of pearls”, with his meticulous method succeeded at the beginning of the 1900’s. He had good results and democratized pearls.

It is not just a coincidence that Japanese lands are the origin of the traditional activity of the “ama”. Underwater fisherwomen who specialize in the manual collection of pearls in the Japanese sea.

Fortunately, today to create a bracelet of real pearls it is not necessary to employ dangerous techniques. The production of these precious organic gems, in fact, has been optimized to offer beautiful and most of all attainable products.

Types of true pearls

Cultured pearls are divided into freshwater pearls (also known as ” river pearls”) and saltwater pearls. The latter are classified according to the place of origin in three distinct types: Akoya (or Japanese pearls), Tahitian dark pearls and South Sea (Australian) pearls.

In addition to the origin, another determining characteristic in identifying the type of pearl is certainly the shape. If traditional Japanese pearls are spherical (the most valuable and expensive), it is possible to obtain beautiful jewelry, necklaces and pendants with particular pearls also using oval shapes. But we also have the drop, rice or baroque shapes, that is particularly irregular. In terms of size, the pearls usually in the market have a diameter of approximately from 4 to 8 millimeters. Black and Australian pearls are larger and can reach 10 or 15 mm.

The traditional color of pearls is white and ivory, used in many traditional jewelry such as double pearl earrings or the classic necklace gold and pearls, however there are pearls of other colors. Orange, gold, gray and black with different shades that go from gray to pink, from green to purple.

Necklace with true or fake pearls?

In addition to the true pearls (natural or cultured), today the market offers a wide variety of imitations in plastic or glass, such as famous Majorca pearls. If you want to buy jewelry such as a pair of gold and pearl earrings, you can check the type of material used starting from the weight and temperature. Plastic pearls are particularly light and to the touch they are smooth and warm. In general all imitation pearls, including glass ones, reveal their nature if you rub them gently against each other (the absence of friction reveals the lack of imperfections typical of natural pearls).
