The 21 Most Whimsical Jewels of the Year

A collection of rings that make originality their flag. Too much? ♦︎

The difference between being original and being bizarre is very subtle. Many acclaimed designers offer jewelry that a few years ago might have seemed too whimsical, but which now gather consensus and admiration. This is not always the case, however. Especially among those who make jewelry in an artisanal way, people often go overboard in the search for novelty at all costs. In short, there are jewels that make strangeness their main feature. Granted, what for some is excessive, for others can be pleasantly different from the usual. A question of taste.

We decided to collect, for example, the 21 most whimsical rings of the year.

Also in this case, the term whimsical is to be understood as something outside the ordinary, that is, classic jewelry, such as a necklace with a string of pearls, a white gold ring with a diamond, or a gold bracelet. All perfect jewels, let’s be clear, but there are also designers and even big Maisons that favor creativity, sometimes pushed to the limit, with daring creations, unusual materials, original inspirations.
