Green: it’s the colour of renewal, hope, strength and even peace.

Princess Diana had a way of showing her quiet confidence and grace with green jewellery pieces – especially the art deco emerald choker she received as a wedding gift from the queen, which she was seen sporting on multiple occasions at charity concerts and banquets.

The world’s most notable high jewellery brands have also ushered green back into their collections in recent seasons, from Graff’s emerald bracelet and Cartier’s Tillandsia necklace with green beryl, to Mikimoto’s Mystérieux brooch accented with green diamonds.

STYLE highlights five pieces adorned with green jewels that will uplift any outfit this spring.
