Any silhouette—from a winged goddess to stressed headphones—can change into when dipped in valuable metallic, alchemically turning the on a regular basis into the everlasting. Valdé Attractiveness did simply that to the standard lipstick case, crafting its model from a zinc alloy lined in liquid gold. Its situation was once designed to rouse the ability of girls, explains founder Margarita Arriagada. In the meantime, Kim Kardashian, appearing as curator and muse, satisfied Dolce & Gabbana to detectable its archives this season, inspiring items like a clingy, ’50s-siren-meets-’90s diva wiggle get dressed. Every other sunny ’90s stalwart? Jeff Koons’ Balloon Canine, to which roguish homage is paid in JW Anderson’s Mylar-like twist on his Tornado Bag. Coperni threw again to a more moderen month, immortalizing stressed headphones in sculptural jewellery, and it doesn’t get extra tide than the curve of a Pīferi pump. “I love a classic reimagined,” says founder and inventive director Alfredo Piferi. “I wanted a light-catching 24K gold hue. It’s our golden hour!”

STONE AGE
Chunky gem stones corresponding to lapis lazuli, coral, and tiger’s-eye do business in distinctly ’70s glamour. We requested the designers in the back of the baubles to percentage probably the most backstory.
Sauer Paisley 18K Yellow Gold Tiger’s Sight, Citrine Earrings
“We revisit the teardrop, an ancient, multi-cultural motif, and bring the emblematic Celtic, Persian, Kashmiri, and hippie pattern to the present day.”—Stephanie Wenk, Sauer ingenious director
Retrouvai Lapis and Emerald Talisman Pendant
“My intention with these one-of-a-kind pieces was to combine semiprecious stone slabs with a precious faceted gem. The lapis really makes the emerald come alive.”—Kirsty Stone, Retrouvai founder and dressmaker
Haute Victoire Lapis Lazuli Fish And Shell with Amatrine Necklace
“The use of blue and orange as complementary colors creates a perfect contrasting relationship. Neither overwhelms the other, and both are in perfect balance.”—Yasmina Benazzou, Haute Victoire founder and dressmaker
Ming Jewelry Coral, Dim Diamond, and Gold Ring
“Black diamonds are so hard that light reflects off them as a white flash. This contrasts with the soft, flowing warmth of the red coral dome and the ripples of gold.”—Ming Lampson, Ming Jewelry founder and dressmaker
Jenna Blake Nautical Lapis Ring With Diamonds
“The diamonds elevate the playfulness of color in hard stones, while the hard stones ground the diamonds, giving them a more approachable feel.”—Jenna Blake, Jenna Blake founder and dressmaker
Sorellina Tourmaline and Tiger’s-Sight Earrings
“I look to nature when I’m assembling a palette of interesting color combinations. I really love the juxtaposition of soft pink tourmaline against bold tiger’s-eye.”—Nicole Carosella, Sorellina co-founder
