The story: In jewelry, the term tutti-frutti evokes a vibrant blend of precious and fine stones, a celebration of color in all its diversity. This style appeared in the early twentieth century, especially in the 1920s, when jewelry houses were inspired by Indian motifs and introduced bold compositions mixing sculpted shapes and contrasting colors. Traditionally, it is declined through combinations of emeralds, rubies and sapphires, in a play of rich and intense contrasts that has become iconic. At the same time, another interpretation of tutti-frutti is expressed in softer and brighter palettes, where pastel shades take center stage, bringing together amethyst, peridot, citrine and aquamarine in a fresh and delicate harmony.
