I was so inspired by Jennifer DeMoro’s wavy hoop earrings that I included in a roundup of yellow and diamond jewelry last week, as well as another of the designer’s wavy pieces (the pink-stone pendant below), that I can think of nothing else but wavy jewelry at this point.
Though some might see a wavy jewel’s ups and downs as a bit of a bumpy ride—compared with the ease of a smooth line—I am calmed by the presence of these waves. Even when an ocean is at its fiercest, the sound of the waves is grounding, a connection to nature and the earth.
Thankfully, there are plenty of wavy jewels to be found for those drawn to them, and they are—if you’ll pardon the almost obvious term—groovy. So reminiscent of a carefree cool are they, I don’t even want to attempt a better description. These are the styles—in hoops, bangles, necklaces, and rings—to embrace as the summer season approaches.
