It’s time for glamorous evenings and festivity. It’s time again to wear those sparkly danglers that you often reserve for special occasions. There’s no reason to stay unadorned, as this summer has seen the big names in jewelry come up with stunning creations.

If colored gemstones are not for you, try the 18 k yellow gold earrings from the Cactus de Cartier collection recently introduced by Cartier. The silhouette of the cactus and its flowers are adorned with tiny brilliant-cut diamonds.

The new high jewelry collection titled La Nature de Chaumet takes its inspiration from wild grasses, golden harvests, ear of wheat, the oak, laurel and lily. We’d suggest the Racines célestes earrings in a beautiful combination of curvy leaves that pay homage to nature and shimmer in the subtle sparkle of pink and mauve spinels and violet sapphires.

A Sardinian summer inspired glamorous pair of earrings with blue and green stones are the highlight of De Grisogno’s newly launched Folies collection. Oval and emerald-cut emeralds gently tumble down with blue sapphires in the slightly asymmetrical silhouette, featuring two sumptuous emeralds that mark the end of the cascade.

Van Cleef and Arpels steps back in time to draw upon the paillettes (sequins) motif created by the Maison in 1930s. Reinterpreted as a graphic and feminine collection, Bouton d’Or, the rose gold earrings from the line are accentuated with rounded mother of pearl and carnelian.

Bulgari, Dior, Piaget, Chopard, Chanel, Tiffany too offer gorgeous choices. Look through our choices of 10 covetable high-jewelry danglers in the Photo Gallery below to style yourself and pick your favorite.
