For this week’s edition of Haute Jewelry, we’re taking a close up look at the Kara Ross Fine Jewelry collection.

Ross, a New York City-based designer, is a certified gemologist, and it shows in the pieces in her eponymous line. Inspired by alternative materials like jet, lava, wood, and titanium, Ross’ love of these unique materials and colored stones manifests in their frequent use in her jewelry.

Here are a few of our favorite pieces:
