Big and bold, these jewels make a statement without being too gaudy or flashy. Classic designs come in vibrant blue topaz, amethyst, and peridot — like the Byzantine necklace, the Maltese Cross cuff, the Wrapped Heart brooch, and the Candy ring.

Verdura, a Fifth Avenue jeweler since 1939, is known for colored stones, but they can also go classic on special-order engagement rings. Their most popular is the Lace setting, an eternity band encrusted with micro-pave diamonds and a delicate setting for a solitaire gem. Clients interested in something beyond diamonds and platinum will be attracted to the wide range of innovative designs, like the Blades ring, which has six to eight different prongs holding the stone. They also have a selection of classic, three-stone settings.
