Rain and Shine

Apr 6

In the forecast? Chic weather motifs

As a born and raised Midwesterner, weather is more than standard small talk material—tracking heat waves and cold snaps is a way of life. Jewelry designers also seem to be looking to the sky, but for inspiration, crafting designs reminiscent of thrilling summer storms and the dreamy rainbows that appear in their aftermath. The sparkle and glow of gemstones and pearls perfectly captures the feeling of a rainstorm after a drought, and encapsulates the rejuvenating vibes of the first sunny day after a long, cold winter.

Rain or shine, these weather-inspired jewels are the perfect accessory to accompany the change of seasons.
