Feast your eyes on these perfect pairings from Mednikow Jewelers and Babcock Gifts.

Dinner is over, but everyone lingers. An antique sterling silver goblet spills onto a plate of glittering jewels: Gurhan’s round and baguette diamond and gold lariat necklace, aquamarine and diamond silver bracelet and one-of-a-kind aquamarine and diamond 24-karat gold ring are captured in high-style brilliance with Blue Pheasant’s artful table setting.

These cups runneth over. A sky-blue Varga glass is the perfect destination for an 18-karat gold and diamond papillon pendant and ring. The lush green Varga glass is fit for the Queen Bee moonstone pendant and necklace in 19-karat gold by Elizabeth Locke Jewels.

A Ginori plate—crafted since 1735—is the perfect backdrop for a story still unfolding: an early-1900s glamour-forward antique necklace that has seen many a candlelit salon and counting. Diamond and carved crystal drop earrings in platinum and a diamond with a black agate cabochon ring in 18-karat gold garnish.

Eat the rainbow. The Vietri plate serves a rainbow moonstone ring, multigemstone and diamond earrings and bracelet, all in 22-24-karat yellow gold by Gurhan. A cabbage plate over a Gien charger brims with a domed bangle bracelet, stacked oval dome earrings and Queen Bee ring in 19-karat gold by Elizabeth Locke Jewels.

Shaken or stirred? A wide ribbon diamond bracelet flows from the L’Objet prism martini glass, while the Ginori plate bears a colorless and yellow fancy diamond necklace, a 7-carat old mine cushion-cut lab diamond in 18-karat gold and a marquise and round brilliant-cut diamond flex band ring. The sterling fork is poised for the next bite: a cushion-cut aquamarine and diamond white gold cocktail ring.

Figs adorn the Vietri plate, setting the stage for a bounty of brilliance matching the jewelry’s own garden-to-evening look: fig leaf diamond and enamel earrings in 18-karat gold. A symphony of color surrounds them: an emerald and diamond ring in 24-karat gold by Gurhan, a green garnet and tsavorite diamond ring in platinum and a multigemstone and enamel dragonfly brooch.

Bon appétit!
