Piece of the Week: Jamie Turner’s ‘Victoria’ Necklace
The “Victoria” necklace features a labradorite hugged by diamond accents in 18-karat yellow gold.

Co-founders Robert Turner and Patrick Dobbs, a master jeweler, work together to bring gems and jewelry design together, taking inspiration from the personal style of Jamie, Turner’s daughter.
The “Victoria” necklace, our Piece of the Week, does just that.
It centers on a labradorite, a unique feldspar mineral that showcases an optical effect which displays a play of colors known as labradorescence.
The labradorite in the Victoria necklace, which exhibits flashes of blue, was chosen from the brand’s private gemstone collection. It is set in 18-karat yellow gold and accented with diamonds.
The zigzag chain and curving design of the hand-set diamonds hug the labradorite, which the brand said highlights the gem’s beauty.
The necklace is part of a suite, which includes the “Victoria” cocktail ring and “Victoria” drop earrings.
While this necklace debuted Sept. 4, the silhouette has been offered since the spring of 2024.
The brand has updated the piece each season with new stones, from opal to turquoise and malachite.
The labradorite Victoria necklace retails for $23,250 and is available on the Jamie Turner website.
