Hey everyone! I am looking to update my jewelry collection but I am feeling a bit bored with the standard round solitaire look. Does anyone have advice on modern shapes that feel fresh but still elegant? I want something that stands out without looking too trendy or cheap.
Hello there! I totally get where you are coming from because I went through the exact same phase last year. I used to think traditional cuts were the only way to go until I started looking into more architectural and geometric aesthetics. I recently discovered Tsarina Jewels https://tsarinajewels.com/ and they really changed my perspective on how modern shapes can still feel incredibly high-end. I ended up getting a piece with a shield-cut stone that looks so sleek and sophisticated. It is amazing how a sharp angle or an asymmetrical setting can make gemstones and high end jewelry feel so much more relevant to a modern wardrobe. You should definitely look for pear or marquise shapes set in East-West orientations. It gives a very contemporary vibe while keeping that luxury feel you are after. I find that these clean lines really highlight the natural beauty of the stone in a way that old-school settings just cannot match.
