Friday Eye Candy: Autore


There's nothing better than a Friday, and as a bonus, I'm offering up some gorgeous Friday Eye Candy. I absolutely love these new pieces from Autore--the modern combination of multi-colored baroque pearls and beautiful blue and green gemstones makes pearls seem totally au courant.

Here's a little information about Autore: Founded in 1991, the company uses South Sea pearls from Western Australia and the coast of Indonesia. Autore is very fashion forward and often dresses celebrities, and has worked with designers ranging from Alexander McQueen to Colette Dinnigan to Richard Tyler.


Portero has a huge selection of pearl and mother-of-pearl jewelry. Click right here to see everything from bracelets to earrings to watches. I'm definitely fond of the colored gemstone and pearl combination. Here are a few I suggest taking a closer look at:

JewelMak Green Quartz, Rose Amethyst and Pearl Diamond Bracelet. Although this bracelet shares the green and purple color palette with Autore's above, the clean lines make this a minimalist's dream.

Gurhan Blue Topaz, Green Sapphire, Labradorite, and Keshi Pearl Confetti Earrings. Sweet and feminine, the movement on these drops will have good sparkle.

Mauboussin Diamond, Lemon Quartz and Tahitian Pearl Earrings. So regal even without being overly bold in scale.
