Winter is still delivering its punches, but we’ve nearly made it through February, the most ironic month of the year for its lengthy feel despite its smallest number of days.
While very much grounded in winter, February begins to wiggle ever so slightly to make room for spring (but not too much!), letting us feel a glimmer of hope as we army crawl our way into March. My inbox this month seemed to reflect that, touching on aspects that tend to define February—its amethyst birthstone, hearts for Valentine’s Day—while also anticipating the sunshine ahead.
I was most drawn to the icy blues that have been attracting interest of late, an ode to the chilliness of winter but also its beauty and grace (if you can ignore the piles of muddy slush on the sides of the road).
This month, we also welcomed the Year of the Horse, and the jewelry world responded in herds. And rich, solid yellow gold was a dominant presence, as ever.
Here, some favorite jewels that came through my inbox in February. Now on to spring!
