Ripe For The Picking

Juicy jewels for la dolce vita

This summer, some jewelers didn’t have to look any further than the farmer’s market for inspiration. If watermelon tourmaline leaves you wanting more, there’s a garden variety of fruit jewelry in fresh materials just waiting to be consumed. From cherries to lemons, handmade glass to crystals, it's a smorgasbord of delights out there.

**Raspberries**

Poland-based 10 DECOART was established in 2006 by Anna Palubicka (product design and art director) and Konrad Komorowski (brand manager and photographer). They keep quality, comfort, and design in mind for their handcrafted pieces that mix conventional and contemporary influences. Renaissance Masters paintings inspired these raspberry beauties.

**Watermelon**

Et toi Paris mixes French vintage and Swedish modern to create playful handmade jewelry and accessories. This mood-lifting necklace has handmade glass pieces and can be worn alone or as a delicious set with the matching earrings and bracelet.

**Grapes**

Jina Chang's vast experience in the fine art and fashion industries led her to create Girls Crew in 2017 in Los Angeles. Whimsical and affordable, her themes run the gamut from celestial to floral and, of course, fruit.

**Lemon**

Rowen Rose is a Paris-based brand whose jewelry is handmade in Milan. They create “wearable couture” by taking inspiration from all walks of life, including art and cinema. You can just imagine these lemon earrings on an actress in an Italian film or—even better—on yourself pool-side.

**Cherries**

Susan Alexandra’s charm jewelry may be hot right now, but her fruit earrings are something else to crave. These cherry danglers, appropriately named “Lolita,” pair perfectly with a gingham dress for a picnic in the park.
