The Bright Side

We’re welcoming summer sunshine with good vibes and vibrant jewels. Think bold turquoise, pearlescent opals, gleaming diamonds, and statement gems aplenty. Chain, rope, and buckle details are catching our attention too. As always, layering speaks volumes, be it a triple bracelet pile-up or thoughtfully stacked rings decorating every finger on the hand. There’s beauty to be found in bold and delicate touches alike. Read on for some visual inspiration from our latest shoot.

Engagement Rings + Wedding Bands

Mingling estate pieces with modern jewelry has become a signature wedding look at Metier. Here are a few of our favorite pairings, including a selection of bands for the gents.  

We are always drawn to stones that seduce with unusual cuts and settings with a-point-of view. We prefer finely finished metals and handworked pieces. You can find more rings (and other jewelry) in our tiny shop in Hayes Valley and online at metiersf.com. And if you don't see what you are looking for we are happy to help you hunt for your perfect ring.
