A Shimmering Sunburst in Mid-Century Color
All Our Blog Article comments count: 0

There’s something unmistakably joyful about mid-century design — the clean geometry, the optimism, the sense that color and shape could actually change the mood of a room, or in this case, the moment. This sunburst necklace brings all of that energy forward in a way that feels fresh but still wonderfully nostalgic.

At the center is a perfect open circle, surrounded by a ring of diamonds that acts almost like a little halo of light. From there, the design radiates outward in classic sunburst style — crisp lines, bold shapes, and a palette that feels straight out of the era’s love affair with vivid, natural tones.

The pairing of tsavorite and peridot is what really sets the mood. The tsavorite delivers that deep, bright forest green — alive, jewel-like, unmistakably rich — while the peridot brings a lighter, citrusy glow that feels almost luminous. Together, they create a pattern that seems to pulse with color, each stone angled to echo the movement of rays spreading outward from the center.

Set in warm 14k gold, the whole design takes on that iconic mid-century harmony: bold, graphic, but grounded in elegance. The details are crisp but not cold, vibrant without being loud — the kind of piece that feels like a burst of sunshine rendered through gemstones.

It’s a necklace that celebrates color, structure, and a little bit of retro playfulness — a reminder of a time when design was both daring and joyful.
