It’s no secret that we’re redefining the modern luxury jewellery aesthetic. Our mission is to make luxury jewellery something that everyone everywhere can cherish, whatever their taste or budget. With this in mind, we bring together the traditional and contemporary to show a real appreciation for craftsmanship, embrace sustainability like never before, and exude a sophistication that lasts for many, many seasons to come.

While to us, the modern luxury aesthetic is an ethos that we’ll continue to hold dear for a very long time indeed, it’s also one of the jewellery market’s hottest trends, with the pieces that celebrate it particularly highly prized of late. That’s why we thought now would be the perfect time to share the top five modern luxury jewellery pieces that should be on your radar this season…

The Nadira Ring

Vintage inspired yet sporting a clean, sophisticated silhouette that’s often only seen in more contemporary pieces, our Nadira Ring sums up modern luxury to perfection.

Its name is taken from the Arabic word for ‘rare’ and ‘precious’, with its 3- to 4-carat, GIA-certified, hand-selected, lab grown diamond centrepiece just that. Secured with a classic claw setting to create a mesmerising floating effect, the oval faceted cut stone is brilliant in every respect and is guaranteed to wow, well, forever. Shop our Nadira Ring in gold and platinum for further details.

The Avery Ring

Another modern luxury inspired, oval-cut design that deserves your attention is our Avery Ring. Seen here in solid 9ct gold and recycled sterling silver, this stunning ring comes complete with a show-stopping 10 x 8mm Sky Blue Topaz gemstone. It’s set using our signature granulation technique, and custom made to your size for the perfect fit.

This particular design brings together the organic, ocean-inspired features we are known and loved for here at Dainty, and the smoother, sleeker modern aesthetic for an altogether different feel. The blue topaz stone also carries a deeper meaning, making it the ideal gift for any occasion as The Gem Library describes:

“Blue Topaz is known for love and loyalty, making it ideal for gifts, including as a November birthstone and for the fourth wedding anniversary… Blue topaz stone is often associated with love and loyalty. It’s said to represent eternal friendship and deep, long-lasting love. If you would like to welcome in love and positivity, invest in this natural topaz gem (real or manufactured!). It will assist you on your journey and boost your mood.”

Aurelia Drop Hoops

Our Aurelia collection also makes excellent use of the stunning sky blue topaz stone. With our Aurelia Drop Hoops, you’ll find it set in a unique barnacle-textured surface, making it a distinctive design that always grabs attention.

As well as being a huge hit for weddings and other special events, our 18ct gold vermeil Aurelia Earrings and sterling silver Aurelia Earrings are wonderfully lightweight for comfortable everyday wear.

Zaria Earrings

Radiant by name, radiant by nature, our Zaria Earrings use not one, not two, but three types of ethically sourced topaz to ensure a uniquely beautiful finish. With the combination of London blue, sky blue and white topaz set in a characterful hoop design, our Zaria Earrings are a celebration of ethical gems that can be worn anywhere in the most elegant way. They’re perfect for layering too!

Our Zaria Earrings are available in silver and gold. You’ll find this stunning cluster design in necklace form too – check out the full Zaria collection for more information.

The Stella Necklace

Featuring all the details we adore – and you love too! – the Stella Necklace is a timelessly styled, modern triumph that you’ll want to wear again and again. It features a 7mm (1.50-1.60 carats), GIA-certified, lab grown diamond, set in either solid 9ct yellow gold or solid 9ct white gold. The chain itself is styled in a distinctive hayseed link, with added granulation only emphasising the feeling of texture in this contemporary design.

Our Stella Necklace is a sustainably designed, modern luxury piece that’s out of this world with a centre stone that captures the very essence of celestial light. What could be more magical than that?
