Jewelry Inspired by Aspen: Sophisticated Western Elegance

Welcome to Aspen, Colorado, where the Rocky Mountains rise high along the horizon and the elegance of the Old West runs deep. This mountain town stands apart from the rest, a beacon of luxury and opulence amidst the landscape of ski chalets and rugged sophistication.

Come winter, ski enthusiasts will flock to Aspen for the town’s numerous high-end ski resorts and elite powdery slopes, bringing a more upbeat, fast-paced atmosphere to the village. But throughout the other three seasons of the year, Aspen is a peaceful oasis set in a location so beautiful that it might just take your breath away.

One of Aspen’s main draws (apart from its winter sports scene, of course) is its elegance and upscale appeal. Numerous five-star hotels and resorts dot the mountainsides, where you will find startling bursts of yellow foliage: the eponymous Quaking Aspen trees themselves. When it comes time to eat, dine in style at Aspen’s Michelin-starred restaurant Bosq or any one of the numerous other delightful eateries revitalizing this destination’s culinary environment.

From relaxing spas to adventurous hikes, there is something for everyone in this Colorado paradise. For those who appreciate the finer things in life, Aspen also offers a rich luxury shopping scene. On the cobblestone streets of the downtown strip, you will find high-end boutiques like Dior, Prada, Balenciaga, Valentino, Gucci, and many more.

Visiting this exemplary vision of the contemporary Wild West requires dressing the part. Show off your style and penchant for beauty inside and out with our Diamonds by Avi & Co. collection of fine diamond jewelry unlike anything else on the market today. With inspired details and timeless sophistication, our jewelry collection is perfect for a vacation in Aspen.

Aspen has a certain je ne sais quoi about it, an aura of prestige and luxury that is difficult to put a finger on. Two worlds of style seem to collide here: the contemporary sensibilities of visiting urbanites and the western flair of Rocky Mountain locals. It is not unusual to see a Prada handbag paired with a fringed leather jacket, nor Louboutin heels with a cowboy hat. Western touches integrated with fashion-forward staples dominate the regional trends.

To help you prepare for your next jet-setting excursion to Aspen, our in-house experts have prepared a comprehensive guide to Aspen-inspired elegance. These five pieces of jewelry from our renowned Diamonds by Avi & Co. lookbook are the perfect accessories to take you from day to night in Aspen’s unique and invigorating atmosphere.

These fashionable diamond earrings dangle from your lobes like a stunning dewdrop, or perhaps even a snowflake. Combining the ethereal brilliance of a classic round diamond with the Art Deco appeal of a royal Asscher cut stone, these earrings go above and beyond expectations. Crafted from luminous platinum, they offer an impressive 30.35 carats of diamonds in total. Each earring showcases two stunning round diamonds, which refract light from every angle, as well as a central Asscher cut diamond that adds a geometric flair and vintage-inspired elegance. The clean geometry of the Asscher-cut stones adds visual depth and drama that renders these earrings truly memorable. They are perfect for a dinner at one of Aspen’s gourmet restaurants, where memories and laughter go hand in hand. Aspen is unforgettable, and in these earrings, so are you.

There is nothing that says Aspen like a piece of jewelry that demands to be noticed. This exquisite three-stone diamond ring from Avi & Co. is exactly that. At its center, find a 20.74-carat fancy yellow diamond, which showcases a buttery color that is prized among jewelry enthusiasts. The diamond’s unique hue also adds a vintage flair to the equation, mesmerizing anyone who looks your way. This breathtaking stone is flanked on either side by traditional white trapezoid cut diamonds (totalling an additional two carats), adding contrast and further sparkle while allowing the central showstopper to truly shine. The ring’s band is crafted from luminous and hypoallergenic platinum, a perfect complement to such a distinctive and memorable piece. Aspen is a place to see and be seen, and you will not be missed in this impressive accessory.

Sometimes, simplicity is the perfect accessory. This pendant diamond necklace manages to be simple without drifting into boring, its two stacked diamonds turning heads wherever life takes you. From Aspen’s luxury shopping district to live music after dark, this pendant is certain to brighten up every facet of your day. Toi et moi translates to you and me from the French, a nod to the dual nature of the stones. This pair of exquisite natural diamonds is the perfect coupling, a nod to an important anniversary or even a milestone birthday. It is an expression of love and appreciation in its purest form, a way to tell the one you love how much you care. With 8.87 carats of stunning round diamonds set on a glowing platinum chain, this necklace is certain to become a family heirloom that you will pass down for generations. Take it out on the town in Aspen and you will quickly understand the hype surrounding this timeless design.

Yellow diamonds have entirely captured our attention in recent years. While classic white diamonds (you might think of them as more opaque than white) have long dominated the jewelry industry, diamonds actually come in a wide variety of different colors. Stones in these alternative hues are known as “fancy diamonds,” and many jewelers love them for their combination of brightness and rarity. Yellow diamonds are particularly prized in today’s jewelry world, as they evoke vintage creations and jewelry created for European royalty. Our fancy yellow diamond cushion cut line bracelet takes this yellow diamond fascination and lets it shine to the utmost, spotlighting numerous cushion-cut yellow diamonds. We crafted this bracelet from gorgeous 18K yellow gold to better highlight the warm and inviting hues of the yellow diamonds, making it a cohesive and captivating creative undertaking. This glittering bracelet is sure to turn heads no matter where you go in Aspen, communicating silently yet effectively that you are someone worth remembering. Now that is priceless.

We could spotlight so many more options from our Diamonds by Avi & Co. jewelry collection, but it is nearly impossible to choose which one would best complement your unique look. Instead, we want to turn your attention to one of our line of brand-name timepieces. The Frosted Collection was our second major release and came out about a year after our inaugural lineup, the Iced Collection. It combines countless glittering diamonds with a precisely tooled bracelet with a “frosted effect.” We achieve this look through masterful techniques that have been passed down in the watchmaking world for generations, showcasing our dedication to getting every single detail on our watches just right. For an Aspen adventure, we love the warmth of the 18K rose gold Frosted watch in a versatile 40 mm silhouette.
