It’s easy to radiate glamour with Graff’s new Sunburst collection. An amalgamation of pendants and earrings, the line draws inspiration from the sun’s spherical shape as well as the rays that emanate from it — and does so to glittering effect. The jewels are resplendent with light reflecting round diamonds that pave overlapping circles and arcs. These glowing halos and curves surround additional diamonds, or alternately, colorful orbs of either rubies, sapphires, or emeralds, which find themselves spaced out between elegant marquise diamonds towards the baubles’ outer edges. Not enough shine? Well, on a majority of the collection’s pieces, a trail of gorgeous stones also cascades from the bottom of the main motif.
