The top jewelry trends of 2022: colorful gems, flower motifs

The one and only Unica

Buccellati’s High Jewelry pieces tend to err on the demure side, with wearable designs that aren’t destined to languish in a safe, only to be trotted out for red-carpet occasions. This Unica necklace is a perfect example of the Italian heritage brand’s quiet ethos, with an intricate openwork design, a scalloped border of mottled yellow 18-karat gold and 645 round brilliant-cut diamonds set in a combination of triangle and lozenge-shaped motifs. It’s a look firmly rooted in the company’s archives, with a nod to its Eternelle rings, albeit lighter and with movement.
