One of the major jewelry trends to look out for in 2023 is simplicity. Elegant, understated jewelry is always in style, but next year will see more people embracing simple sophistication. We’ve been fans of colorless gemstones for a long time. They embody the ethos of understatement with their stark beauty and hidden, subtle complexities. So if you’re looking for colorless gemstones, look no further than diamond, moon quartz, and rock crystal, three striking, and strikingly different, ways to capture that quietly elegant style.
Diamond
A true classic that embodies simple sophistication. Diamonds are versatile stones, and how they make you feel is all in the presentation. They can be over-the-top and conspicuously luxurious, calling attention to themselves and the wearer, or they can be more low-key. Many of our pieces that embody this low-key luxury use small diamonds as accent stones, drawing the eye to the large central gemstone rather than taking attention to themselves.
Moon Quartz
Take one look at any of our moon quartz jewelry and you see where the name comes from. This gem, presented as a polished cabochon rather than cut and faceted, glows with the same mystical, mysterious energy as the moon. There’s something calming about this stone that lends itself to sleek, understated designs. Moon quartz works wonderfully with an understated design to create an intriguing, alluring elegance perfect for formal and casual occasions: just check out this bracelet from our Candy collection, for example.
Rock Crystal
The purest variety of quartz, rock crystal gives you a lot of sparkle for the price. Being more common and less expensive than diamonds, a single large rock crystal can make a big statement. They can be cut in all kinds of imaginative ways, adding some whimsy to their cool, icy shine. These Hex Studs are a good example of the bold yet simple statement a dazzlingly cut rock crystal can make.
These gems contrast beautifully with gold, together making a simple, elegant statement, whether alone or accented by smaller stones. Colorless or white stones are a timeless look that works with just about any outfit and any occasion. Which one is your favorite?
