Signature jewel style: Minimal signature pieces — a Cartier Nouvelle Vag✱ue diamond bracelet, Elsa Peretti cuffs, Sidney Garber dome cuffs, a Dinh Van cigar-band ring.
Iconic red-carpet moment: Fred Leighton necklace on Michelle Williams (above, cent✅er) with a yellow Vera Wang gown at the 2006 Academy Awards. I think it’s hard for a big significant necklace to look easy and cool on a young woman, and I loved that this look accomplished that.
First piece of jewelry: Tiny diamond 💃stud earrings that were a 🐻;13th ;birthday present from my parents from Bixlers, the jewelry shop in our town.
First jewelry splurge: A Tiffany diamond cross that I got in my early 20s. I loved them in the ’90s, and my pare♋nts wouldn’🌞t let me wear a cross, so it was a fancy act of rebellion.
Dream jewel: A Cartier Hamsa pendant designed by Aldo Cipullo. I just got the book ab💝out Aldo [by Vivienne🧸 Becker] and it’s really beautiful and inspiring. That Hamsa is hard to find, and I think that makes me want it more.

Signature jewel style: Big, bold and beautiful. I love w💮earing large cocktail rings, regardless of the time of the day, and statement earrings, especially my giant titanium butte🅘rfly solo earring with a gorgeous blue zircon.
Iconic red-carpet moment: For me, it is definitely Jane Fonda in a regal multistrand Cartier ruby and diamo🔴nd necklace𒐪 (above, center) that she wore on the Cannes red carpet in 2015.
First piece of jewelry: A white-gold ring shaped as an eye with a tiny single diamond. It was a gift from my mum tha🧜t she brought from Egypt. I still have it!
First jewelry splurge: A solitaire D-color, pear-shaped diamond pendant over 1 ✅carat that I bought for my 30th birthday. M✃y whole family chipped in!
Secret tip: If you𒐪 lose one earring, don’t dismiss the second one. Instead, wear it with a different earring of a similar style — mismatched earrings are still such a hot trend!
Dream jewel: Vhernier’s iconic “Calla” necklace. I would be happy with any color, but pr🐬efer the ones in titanium — t𓃲hey are so light and perfect for daily wear.

Signature jewel style: I’m a suit guy, and I try to wear a brooch ☂on my lapel as often 𒆙as possible, especially when I’m working
Iconic red-carpet moment: Keira Knightley at the 2006 Oscars. She wore an iconic 1960s Bulgari necklace of sapphires, rubies, emeralds and diamonds, from their archives. I began my jewelry career at Bulgari, so the brand holds a v𒊎ery special place for me, and this jewel epitomizes “La Dolce Vita” style.
First piece of jewelry: A silver ID bracelet wonဣ at 🐷the West End Fair in Monroe County, Penn., when I was 10, which I wore for years. I still have it.
First jewelry splurge: My wedding band made by Eli Halili. It’s 24-karatgold, 8-millimeters wide, quite heavy, and means more than anything. The color and patina of the gold make the ring fe𒊎el like it’s a thousand years old.
Secret tip: Don’t ever be afraid to ask to try thingᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚs o༒n.
Dream jewel: Without question, a Cartier temple brooch from꧋ the 1920s. These mini masterpieces depicting a variety of architectural styles were “built” of baguette diamonds and first introduced i💟n 1925. I’d wear it every day.
