Piece of the Week: Melissa Kaye’s ‘Riley’ Ring
It speaks to the prevalence of color in the market.

Melissa Kaye has made the most of that, crafting expressive colors that relay entirely different moods, injecting her refined collection with unexpected attitudes.
Since debuting her enamel styles in 2019, in a much bolder palette than her contemporaries that was partially inspired by athleisure, designer Kaye has owned her take on the technique, venturing into uncharted hues.
Most recently she’s delved into pastels in Easter-like hues. The new “Riley” ring that debuted this month is an example, expressing a softer side of the collection in a soft, light green.
Our “Piece of the Week” pick, the “Riley” is crafted in 18-karat yellow gold with pastel green enamel and diamonds.
