K. Brunini Jewels Proposes Colored Stones for Brides
K. Brunini Jewels will launch its latest colored stone bridal collection at Couture, with hardly a white diamond center stone in sight.
“Just as every bride is an individual, every commitment ring should be as unique as they are, much akin to colored stones,” said designer Katey Brunini of K. Brunini Jewels.
Solana Beach, Calif.--K. Brunini Jewels will launch its latest colored bridal collection at Couture next month, with hardly a white diamond center stone in sight.
“They are rarer than most diamonds,” said Brunini of colored stones, “If the bridal consumer today truly is interested in the unique, colored stones are a strong choice for expressing one’s individuality.”
The 2016 bridal collection relies heavily on Brunini’s signature “twig” and “vertebrae” motifs that, as the names imply, feature nature-inspired texture cast in white and yellow gold for an organic effect.
Diamonds figure most dramatically as accents, whether as white tapered baguettes adorning the shank of an engagement ring or as a milieu of light pink fancy-cuts set askew in an eternity wedding band.

A 6.36-carat emerald steals the spotlight in this K. Brunini Jewels colored stone engagement ring.
Tapered baguette diamonds accent the vivid pink sapphire and yellow sapphire in these unique engagement rings.
K. Brunini Jewels utilizes a wide range of stones including these red spinel and ruby, white diamond, light pink diamond and rose zircon options.
An 18-karat white gold and platinum aquamarine ring sits atop a fancy-cut commitment band.
White diamonds receive the K. Brunini Jewels twist, as in this rose-cut pear-shaped engagement ring (far right).
The majority of the engagement rings range between $3,000 and $30,000 retail with wedding bands priced mainly between $400 and $4,000 retail.
The designer is no stranger to the colored stone engagement ring trend; in fact, she helped champion it. Brunini has utilized colored stone engagement rings since her very first collection almost 20 years ago.
To celebrate this upcoming milestone anniversary, Brunini has plans for a 220-page art book due out in 2017.
