Shop James Allen’s Latest Drop
While minimalist jewelry is perennially trendy, it’s oftentimes hard to say “no” to pieces that double as style statements based on their visual intricacy, impeccable craftsmanship, and attention to detail. And if you’re on the hunt for this kind of accessory — something that looks stunning at every angle while being an heirloom-quality find that you can enjoy for a lifetime — we’ve got just the place for you.
Enter: James Allen’s Diamond + Bead Chain collection. Having only recently been unveiled, it’s already generating no shortage of buzz, thanks to each of the selection’s covetable looks that blend classiness with a modern edge. Here you’ll find an assortment of earrings, rings, necklaces, and bracelets for treating your jewelry box (or using as a special gift for your wife, mom, or girlfriend this holiday season).
The collection’s interplay of shining diamonds with the luxuriously looking 14-karat yellow gold makes it unlike anything else James Allen has ever created (though we still very much have a soft spot for its engagement rings, charms, and Sculptural Waves drop). Look inside and your breath will be instantly taken away with the James Allen Bezel Bead Chain Drop Earrings, featuring a drop silhouette, the capsule’s signature beaded chain details, and two oval diamonds in bezel settings. Want to make a matching set out of it? There’s the East-West Bezel Solitaire Bead Chain Necklace for the taking: a piece that feels effortlessly balanced and considered in its design while flattering absolutely everyone who puts it on.
In case it’s a bracelet upgrade you’re after, the Diamond + Bead Chain collection has multiple standout options in that department. The Bead Bangle Bracelet, for instance, charms with its simplicity… but don’t mistake simplicity for primitivity. In fact, it’s a veritable objet d’art — lined with tiny, yellow-gold spheres that are lined up just so, forming a pattern that will make looking down at your wrist a gratifying ritual. And if you’re into pear-shaped stones (akin to those seen on the rings of stars from Bella Thorne to Victoria Beckham), the East-West Bezel Beaded Station Bracelet With Pear Shaped Diamonds is calling your name. Its diamonds are spaced out just so, separated from each other by a delicate beaded chain.
Looking to optimize your ring stack this season? James Allen is at your service, what with its newly arrived picks such as the East-West Bezel Beaded Ring, Beaded Row Ring, and Alternating Bead And Round Bezel Set Diamond Ring (like children, we love them all equally… but with a slightly deeper adoration for the latter!). These ring styles also come with the added benefit of what the brand calls its “Real-Time Ring Inspection.” Essentially, this entails chatting with a live agent about any aspect of the accessory you’re interested in — thereby ensuring that your online shopping experience is comparable to picking out jewelry in a brick-and-mortar store.
We bet all of this is making you crave a splurge. Our two cents? Go for it (you so deserve it).
