It’s clear to me why the works of Beirut-based Ralph Masri turned heads at JCK Las Vegas last month. The jewelry designer’s signature style of clean lines, bold colors, and editorial silhouettes has wide appeal, including to this editor. I love this open ring in 18k gold with black rhodium and the complex color combination of deep purple amethysts and royal blue sapphires. It’s modern, chic, sure to command attention, and confirms that Masri indeed belonged in the Rising Star section of the Design Center at the show.
