Dive into spring with the prettiest gemstone jewellery, featuring diamond earrings, sapphire rings and pearls galore.

As the days get brighter and warmer, spring brings a long list of reasons to celebrate – and a sparkling piece of gemstone jewellery is the ultimate plus one. So whether you find yourself mingling your way through a spring wedding, marking a special occasion or filling your afternoons with friends and cocktails, discover designer jewellery, diamond earrings and pearl necklaces for every occasion at Kennedy.

Colourful jewels for afternoon cocktails

If the brief is sun-soaked casual, gemstone jewellery from the Dolce & Gabbana Rainbow collection will elevate sundresses with a little daytime glamour. Featuring pastel tones, the ‘DG’ logo and an unexpected cluster of gemstones, the Easy Rainbow Multicolour Gemstone Earrings are an easy-to-style, whimsical hit of colour. Or for a colourful take on the classic cross motif, try the brand’s Rainbow Alphabet Multicolour Cross Earrings. Both pairs of statement earrings will have you feeling fabulous in a flash.  

Diamond earrings for date night

A little black dress is timeless for romantic evenings – and an all-black ensemble is the perfect opportunity to showcase the brightest of your gemstone jewellery collection, diamonds. To elevate a pared-back dress, direct attention to your ears with statement earrings, like the Graff Triple Butterfly Diamond Earrings. With a trio of pavé butterflies in 0.85 carats of diamonds, the diamond stud earrings will make you sparkle. The earrings fall delicately below the earlobe, meaning they can be styled for an array of night-time occasions and are a versatile addition to your designer jewellery collection.

For another eye-catching piece that glitters as you sip champagne or take a spoonful of dessert, look to the Graff Wild Flower Large Diamond Cluster Ring. The design boasts 1.18 carats of diamonds, which emerge upwards towards its wearer, so the diamond ring can be admired by you and your partner.

Statement pieces for a spring wedding

For garden, farm or beachside weddings, embrace fun and vibrant gemstone jewellery, like this Suzanne Kalan rainbow sapphire ring. Set in a yellow gold band, the double-row ring is decorated with 2 carats of princess-cut and baguette rainbow sapphires, and 0.26 carats of round white diamonds. It’s beautiful worn on its own, or can be styled with pieces from the Suzanne Kalan Bold or Frenzy collections for high-impact colour from your ears to your fingertips.

Or if you’re opting for a more sophisticated look, the Dolce & Gabbana Anna Smoky Quartz Necklace will shine under the primavera sun. The necklace features 19 smoky quartz stones and 18 karat yellow gold, which twists into a rope-like setting and chain. If you’re opting to wear your hair in an up-do, the necklace’s adjustable chain is also finished with a baroque pearl, which elegantly falls down the neck.

Pearl jewellery for black-tie events

Weddings and other events with a formal or black-tie dress code call for classic, heirloom-worthy pieces like pearl jewellery. For a sense of glamour and grandeur, Mikimoto combines both pearls and diamonds into one extraordinary necklace. With three strings of Akoya cultured pearls and 2.44 carats of diamonds set in 18 karat white gold, the Akoya Cultured Pearl and Diamonds Triple Strand Necklace is made for celebrating big, life-changing moments – and for generations to come.
