WHAT’S YOUR SIGN? The perfect addition to the charm necklace in your jewelry box is one that reaches for the heavens to celebrate your sign of the zodiac. Zodiac jewelry is a wonderful opportunity to tell your unique story. The Monica Rich Kosann Zodiac X Color collection incorporates a singular design concept. They created the collection in 18k gold vermeil over sterling silver and combined each design with rich everyday enamel colors. The smooth surface of the enamel was something they worked hard to achieve so that it would be an elegant complement to the symbols of the zodiac. The collection is accented throughout with hand set white sapphires. Each piece can be purchased with Monica’s signature black steel chain or alone as a zodiac charm that can be added to a necklace chain you already own. On any chain, the zodiac necklace will be one you treasure and wear every day. If you happen to own a piece from their Locket X Color collection, your zodiac necklace would be the perfect layering piece with your locket, but we also love it paired with any of the 18k gold short or petite charm necklace styles. In addition, they have also added an extra loop to our black steel chain, so you adjust your zodiac necklace to 16” or 17”.
VINTAGE DIAMONDS FRED LEIGHTON ROUND ® A KWIAT EXCLUSIVE
First developed in the 1890s, the old European diamond cut was the precursor to what we know today as the round brilliant diamond. At the time, diamonds were cut by hand. The result was stones that were not necessarily precise, but romantic and charismatic, with large facets that glimmered in candlelight. By the 1930s, advanced technology led to the uniform faceting and updated proportions of the modern round brilliant diamond and many older stones were re-cut in the modern style. That’s why it can be difficult to find a beautifully cut old European diamond these days, especially in the colorless and near colorless range. And that’s why we created the Fred Leighton Round diamond—a perfected old European cut for discerning jewelry lovers who yearn for the understated elegance of an antique stone at the highest quality.
