As we shed the fluffy coats and knitted sweaters of winter, we all start to feel that proverbial spring renewal. And with that spring renewal comes some lovely and joyous occasions – Easter, Mother’s Day, graduations, birthdays, and even wedding season. All this gift-giving can be overwhelming, so we made a stop at Carter’s Jewelry for a little help. Whether you’re looking for something fresh and fun to give to mom, a sparkly addition to an Easter basket, or even a seasonal upgrade to your own accessories, Danny and Jeanie Carter have something for everyone. Here are nine of our favorite pieces that will help you bling into spring!
1. Larimar Necklaces
Pay homage to the little birds and insects that make spring so magical – all the shade of an azure sky. These dragonfly and hummingbird necklaces are from the Marahlago Larimar collection, designs created with the rare Caribbean gemstone. The unusual patterns of Larimar’s peaceful and pleasing blue and white hue make every piece unique.
2. Ladybug Pendant
There’s nothing like a ladybug to bring a little luck! The delicate and oh-so-adorable pieces are made of 14k gold and enamel. They’re the perfect gift for a nature-lover or a graduate that needs to be sent on their way with some luck in tow. The collection features rings, earrings, pendants, and bracelets. Baby sizes are also available for the little ones who need some sparkle!
3. Colored Stones
If what you’re seeking is a little color to pull you out of the winter blues, look no further. Throughout the store, Carter’s has pieces in 14k yellow gold, white gold, and silver and with any semi-precious stone that tickles your fancy (like the amethyst, blue topaz, peridot and pink sapphire pictured here). You’ll be able to suit any style and waltz into spring with a fresh new look.
4. Cross
Not all cross pendants are created equal, so stand out on Sunday or give a memorable Easter gift with this 14k white and yellow gold cross. Its understated design is an attractive break from tradition that proves that not all beautiful things have to be complicated.
5. Sea Turtle Pendant
Spring is a time to celebrate nature, so what better way to celebrate than with an exquisitely-detailed collection inspired by the ocean? This Kovel Collection sea turtle pendant is made of sterling silver, white mother of pearl, and tsavorites. It’s striking without being over-the-top and playful without losing its elegance.
6. Beachball Earrings
For we lucky Floridians, spring is the start of our beach season. So show your love for splashing in the waves and lounging on the shore with these stylish 14k gold and color-created opal earrings. They’re a sophisticated and tasteful way to express your need for a beach day.
7. Flower Bouquet Brooch
This brooch just might take your breath away. And there’s a good reason why – the flower bouquet is a cluster of natural sapphires in multiple colors, dotted with diamonds, and resting in 18k gold. The Tiffany-signed estate piece is flawless, a crown jewel of anyone’s collection.
8. Rolex Watch
Whether you’re doing some at-home organizing or taking up a new hobby, spring is a time for new beginnings. The same goes for your watch. There’s no need to switch out the whole timepiece – just bring in your Rolex for a style upgrade (like a new dial or bezel). This 18k gold Man’s Day Date wristwatch is leaving its champagne dial for a new diamond bezel and a blue diamond dial. That’s a change we can get behind.
9. Wedding Band & Engagement Ring
A wedding band and an engagement ring are two pieces of jewelry that you’re committing to for a lifetime. Make that commitment a little easier by choosing a piece this breathtaking. Made of 14k white gold with a one carat diamond in the center and a quarter carat of diamonds in the halo, this set is nothing short of spectacular.
