Earth tones are in. Rich, brown diamonds have all the sparkle of traditional white diamonds, but these beauties have an understated warmth all their own. Nicknames like chocolate, champagne or cognac give reference to their depth of color.The multi-row ring mixes a variety of brown tones with oranges, yellows and pinks. Long chain alternates chocolates with white diamonds. Pendant is a unique twist on the traditional circle motif. Earrings above feature organic, semi-translucent rose cut diamonds, halo set in an articulating dangle.

Gold is back and texture is in! Tassel pendant with south sea pearl accent stacks wonderfully with this gold chain with diamond stations. Beaded cuffs show a bolder sophistication. Hawaii necklace and earrings by Buccellati pair twisted links with onyx accent rings.

Carolyn Murphy & Zhang ZiyiBuccellati started its collaboration with Peter Lindbergh in 2015, on its first lifestyle advertising campaign. The black and white photography master captured the interest of Buccellati, freezing moments of rare beauty and femininity, a perfect balance between reality and dream. His narrative style was exactly what Buccellati was looking for.

Elisa Sednaoui was the protagonist of their Milan story, with pictures taken in five iconic places of the city and at different times of the day. She represented an active woman, with natural charm and a timeless and elegant aesthetic. The collaboration with Peter and Elisa went on for the second advertising campaign in Venice.

In 2017, Peter Lindbergh is called to exalt two contrasting beauties: Carolyn Murphy, seductive and strong-willed, full of charm and initiative, and Zahng Ziyi, so mysterious, idealist and enchanting.

Once again, this campaign focuses on everyday life moments and takes place in some iconic spots of Florence: Caffé Gilli, the courtyard of the Uffizi Gallery, Piazza della Signoria and Torrigiani Gardens.

Peter LindberghPeter Lindbergh is recognized as one of the most influential contemporary photographers. Born in Lissa (Germany) in 1944, he turned his attention to photography in 1971 and opened his own studio in 1973. Considered a pioneer in photography, he introduced a form of new realism and expressed his humanist approach and idealization of women that set him apart from the other photographers. His best work is known for his simple and revealing portraits, but also landscapes and outer spaces. Many of his pictures are part of the permanent collections of many Fine Arts museums around the world and have been shown in prestigious museums and galleries.

We have learned over the years that new designs don’t need to be modern and different. Often our new favorites are variations on a classic. Take note of these elegant new finds at Kerns.
