The pear shape is an emerging cut. As it gains popularity, it's been incorporated into everyday pieces like this White Gold Amethyst Pendant with Diamond Halo.
The days of only wearing one metal color at a time are over! Mixed metal pieces are becoming more and more commonplace. This White and Rose Gold Ring with Blue Topaz combines the mixed metal look with the pear shaped trend.
Checkerboard cut stones offer an unique faceting that allow for optimal reflection of light. These pieces appear to have more sparkle. This White Gold Checkerboard Blue Topaz Pendant shines in the light.
Pink is one of the hottest colors this season. From Morganite to Sapphire to Quartz, pinks are taking over jewelry designs. We love this Frank Reubel Sunset Quartz Bypass Ring.
Animal jewelry is a fun way to celebrate a love for the outdoors. With animals like fish and turtles, leading the charge, jewelers are using stones to create unique interpretations of our favorite animals. We love the Topaz shell on this White Gold Topaz and Diamond Turtle Pendant.
You can't go wrong with Diamonds. These White and Champaign Diamond Earrings blend the traditional white diamond with the modern hued diamond to create an eye catching look.
UP Gold Upper Peninsula Pendants Available
When Wattsson & Wattsson Jewelers opened in 1985, our Upper Peninsula pieces were made with gold from the Ropes Gold Mine in Ishpeming, Michigan. When the mine closed, the pieces were transitioned over to commercially available gold. We've been holding onto a few ounces of UP Gold™ for special occasions, and have decided to make five UP Gold U.P. Pendants for the 2017 holiday season. These pendants were hand crafted by Wattsson & Wattsson owner Chris Wattsson in our Marquette shop with UP Gold from the Ropes Gold Mine, and come with a certificate of authenticity.
Upper Peninsula Gold is stamped 14k UP Gold on the back of the pendant to distinguish it from commercially available gold.
Because of the high concentration of minerals in the Upper Peninsula, UP Gold is yellow gold with a red tint.
