Tiffany & Co., Bulgari, and More Make a Subtle Statement on '90s Minimal Jewelry
The '90s were all about minimalism, and today's statement jewelry pieces are a testament to the decade's lasting influence.

An ode to the '90s, simple accessorizing makes an impact this season. As an example, Cartier's lasting focus on geometry comes to life in the jewelry maker's intricate watches, which play with light, space, and repetition; classic materials are juxtaposed with left-of-center shapes in the daily pieces offered by Van Cleef & Arpels; and layered designs sparkle on Buccellati Bijoux. Taking inspiration from Elsa Peretti's fascination with sculptural gold shapes and bold use of jade, Tiffany & Co. created a deceptively simple choker, which adds the perfect pop to a crisp white shirt. Of course, nothing completes a look quite like a show-stopping diamond ring, as best exemplified by Harry Winston, or a statement necklace à la Bulgari or Boucheron. For those looking for a hint of the unexpected, why not bring back this notorious '90s trend: the anklet. Thanks to Graff's classic diamond collections, this bohemian piece has never looked so chic.
