New Leaves (modernjeweler.com)

Designers this season are turning over a new leaf. With the continued influence of nature as an inspiration and the ongoing strength of the marquise shape, it’s not surprising that leaf motifs are one of the strongest trends of the new season. The freshest looks are skeleton patterns, with cut-outs accentuating the leaf silhouette. Most styles use the organic shape of the veins for an effect that is as lacy as it is natural. — Cheryl Kremkow
