This year’s spring fashion trends are all about soft, romantic looks and playful styles that want you to have fun. There is an undercurrent of nostalgia running through this year’s spring lookbook, drawing our collective memory back to simpler times. Whimsy is here to stay, but there is no avoiding some perennial springtime classics: lace, florals, and floaty silhouettes are dominating runways right now.

Whether you are looking to evoke the latest in fashion or stick to tried-and-true classics a la Carolyn Bessette Kennedy in Love Story, we have compiled a list of this year’s must-have spring watches and jewelry perfect for modern life.

When you invest in a luxury watch, you are likely looking for a timepiece that you can wear year-round. You do not want to be stuck with a trendy watch that will go out of style in a year or two. As such, when we make our seasonal trend lists, we are always focusing on perennial wearability as well. We center our collection around stunning timepieces that transcend fleeting trends and changeable styles, instead focusing on watches that can (and will) last a lifetime.

That said, building a watch collection that encompasses a wide range of watches can help you hone in one the timepieces that are perfect for a bit of seasonal flair. Here are some options to consider if you are looking to expand your springtime repertoire.

This Patek Philippe Nautilus is the perfect example of a watch that is ideal for springtime yet equally wearable throughout the rest of the year. The distinguished blue index dial combined with the highly desirable chronograph function makes this timepiece a truly coveted example of Patek Philippe’s renowned artistry. The two-tone style of the watch, which incorporates both stainless steel and 18K rose gold, is the perfect piece as we inch away from the cooler tones of winter and into the warmer months of the year. While white metals often dominate as snow hits the ground, the springtime thaw ushers in a season of warmer hues, and rose gold is the ideal transition metal to match the changing weather.

Talk about romance and whimsy, and you might just conjure up an image of this stunning Rolex Datejust 41. The versatile size of this timepiece makes it ideal for both men’s and women’s styles. It combines warm everose gold and stainless steel for a chic, two-tone look that is undeniably of the moment. Complete with a rosy pink “sundust” dial and luminous white applied index hour markers, this watch stuns from every angle. Rolex aficionados love the glamour and recognizability of the fluted bezel, which evokes the excellence of the Crown to the maximum. Finally, the five-link jubilee bracelet adds another layer of elegance to this already exquisite timepiece. Leaving nothing to be desired, this Rolex may be the answer to your dreams.

Our HUE collection has been a hit since its debut and is much-loved by celebrities and horological aficionados alike. The lineup consists of eight watches and four gemstone finishes: blue sapphire, pink sapphire, red ruby, and green tsavorite. For spring, we love the verdant hues of the green tsavorite watch, which is available in a 37 mm or 44 mm silhouette, catering to wearers of any gender. The watch is set with countless meticulously selected tsavorite stones, all naturally mined and showcasing the best of the best in terms of quality and precision setting. The concentric circles of the watch’s dial fade to a pathway setting style on the bracelet, evoking the community and togetherness of home. Perhaps this watch is meant to find its home on your wrist. Try it on in any one of our three boutiques: Find us in Aspen, Miami, and Manhattan.

Hoping to make this spring one to remember? Fine diamond jewelry from Diamonds by Avi & Co. is the perfect recipe for a meaningful spring season. Whether you are shopping for someone special or treating yourself to the requisite dose of luxury, our team at Avi & Co. is here to help you discover our renowned inventory of inspired diamond jewelry.

As Meryl Streep’s Miranda Priestly so famously remarks in The Devil Wears Prada, “Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking!” She is not wrong: Floral patterns and prints have become a staple of seasonal runways and streetwear alike. But there is also a reason that these designs have remained popular year over year. New buds and soft petals signify a season of growth, hope, and rejuvenation. They are the perfect ever-present symbol of springtime joy, and they ought not to be overlooked in favor of edginess or upending tradition for rebellion’s sake only.

There is something deeply feminine and alluring about a simple floral silhouette, as you can see on the Diamonds by Avi & Co. floral earrings pictured above. These 18K white gold masterpieces show off ten pear-cut diamonds totalling 4.01 carats of precious stones. They are a piece you will never want to take off and one that you will be thrilled to pass down for generations of beautiful women to come.

Whimsical elegance is in this spring, and our fancy shapes diamond line bracelet perfectly encapsulates playful style without crossing the line into kitschy. The platinum construction houses a variety of different diamond cuts, including ovals, hearts, pears, cushion cuts, and squares. The mixture of different shapes and silhouettes draws the eye and transforms a stunning diamond bracelet from unapproachable to inviting and fun. It is the perfect way to embrace the romance and innocence of the spring season without deviating from your typical elevated style. After all, this 20-carat bracelet is not accessible to just anyone, even in the elite Upper East Side social scene. Stand out from the rest with a subtle and memorable statement when you shop for your next heirloom piece at Avi & Co.

When you imagine a classic spring palette, your mind likely floats right to pastels and garden tones: lush greens, robin’s egg blues, sunny yellows, and peony pinks. There is something almost ethereal about these youthful hues, which signify the beginning of a new chapter in your year. Our fancy cushion-cut pink diamond ring perfectly aligns with springtime hues, offering a cherry blossom tone that is sure to turn heads and capture her attention.

Crafted from a combination of platinum and 18K rose gold, this ring is centered around a 7.27-carat cushion-cut pink diamond. While we typically envision what are known as white diamonds in jewelry (these are transparent seeming stones that are nearly ubiquitous in the world of engagement rings), fancy diamonds are also a rare and stunning variant of the same stone. Fancy diamonds are just as durable and precious as their white counterparts, and they appear in a variety of colors, ranging from blue to yellow to pink to green and even red. Pink diamonds are one of our favorite options for spring, as their rosy tones complement every aspect of the classic spring color palette.

Here at Avi & Co., we offer a collection of luxury timepieces that appeals to collectors far and wide, both those looking for a trendy accessory and those looking for an heirloom timepiece. We strive to curate an elite inventory of the world’s most beloved watch brands, from Rolex to Richard Mille and from Audemars Piguet to Patek Philippe.
