Just as the great artists, like Pablo Picasso and Cy Twombly, have left their marks on the art world—and our subconscious—with their creations, original and artfully designed pieces of jewelry can grow to become larger than life in their own right. Whether it's a family heirloom that is passed down from generation to generation or a piece that gains notoriety thanks to the royal, starlet, or style icon who dons it, a recognizable design typically becomes one of the mainstays of our personal collections. Here, we examine nine pieces of abstract jewelry that feel artistic and organic in design and that are making a mark in their own way.

Archi Dior Necklace

Victoire de Castellane created this sophisticated white-gold-and-diamond necklace, inspired by Christian Dior's Diorama dress that he showed during the 1951 spring-summer haute couture presentation, with beautiful movement.

Marquise Wave Cuff

One of Suzanne Belperron's earliest and most recognizable designs, this wave cuff—shimmering with marquise-cut diamonds—boasts a rhythm that makes it as modern as it is timeless.

Baroque Abstract Hoop Earring

These irregular-shaped, yellow gold hoop earrings feature dainty round rubies and pearls for an accessory that can easily go from day to night.

Double Vine Tendril Ring

An artfully twisted band—dipped in blue enamel and featuring two Champagne-colored rock crystals—hugs the finger in all the right ways and is a playful way to add some color to your ring ensemble.

Van Gogh’s Gladioli Necklace

This freeform necklace features delicate lines and floral-inspired motifs for a creation that lays beautifully on the neckline. Pale citrines, small rubies, and sparkling morganites set in 18-karat yellow gold play perfectly together.

Sterling King Sculptural Delphinium Flower Cocktail Ring

This artsy ring features a delphinium flower form and rests between two fingers in the most sophisticated way. Its sculptural form and mirrored gold finish ensure that it will make a major statement whether you wear it with your everyday look or to a black tie gala.

Marrakech Twisted Coil Bracelet

Made in Italy by hand, this rose gold bracelet pays homage to Bicego's signature corda di chitarra design. Its subtly twisted shape accentuates the wrist and mixes well with other bracelets and bangles.

Small Sprout Tourmaline Diamond Earrings

Reminiscent of the flora one would see in a tropical forest, these yellow gold earrings are perfect to mix with other finds, and their tourmaline stones make a bold statement.

Mishka Gold-Tone Ring

This beautiful ring is cast from polished brass. We love how the gold-tone spheres in varying sizes elegantly twist around the finger.
