Designer Lepa Galeb-Roskopp’s Adriatic Collection takes inspiration from the color and lifestyle of Porto Montenegro, where she recently opened a boutique. The one-of-a-kind San Adriatic necklace has nine rose-cut lapis lazuli ovals, each surrounded by diamonds, perfectly suited to the laid-back style of the area. The luxury boutique hotel Regent Porto Montenegro has a three-bedroom sea-view suite, which makes a perfect base for exploring the area. Misahara San Adriatic necklace, $125,000, available at Misahara Three-Bedroom Sea-View Suite, Regent PortoMontenegro, Tivat, Montenegro, from $950 per night, contact Binta Dioum, reservations.pm@regenthotels. com, +382 32 660 660 or book online at regentportomontenegro.com Few houses celebrate their heritage quite like Bulgari: the Italian sense of la dolce vita comes through in every piece, especially in the Ispirazioni Italiane necklace. Its different-colored gemstones represent various parts of Italy, from the aquamarine of Capri’s turquoise waters to the peridot of the green Tuscan vineyards. Of course, the heart of Bulgari is in Rome, where we recommend Rome Cavalieri, whose penthouse suite includes a 2,300-sq-ft private roof garden with Jacuzzi and unparalleled views of St Peter’s Basilica.

We’ve all fantasized about never leaving the perfect vacation. In the 1970s, John Hardy took the plunge after an inspirational trip and established a jewelry workshop in Bali. We love his iconic Bamboo Collection. Each purchase gives back to the area through the planting of bamboo seedlings. Book a trip to Bali to visit John Hardy’s workshop and see the artisans in action. While there, stay at The Legian Bali, an all-suite property with impeccable service. The Beachhouse is a stunning and private three- bedroom villa with personal butler. John Hardy Bamboo Kick Cuff, $11,000, available at johnhardy.com The Beachhouse, The Legian Bali, Seminyak, Indonesia, from $3,500 per night, contact reservation@ thelegianbali.com, +62 361 730 622, or book online at the legianbali.com Since 1932, Harry Winston has been calling New York City its home. Paying homage to Manhattan, the Traffic Collection interprets its namesake urban experience in a thoroughly glamorous way. Imagining traffic as seen from a high-rise, the Traffic bracelet includes 36 round- and brilliant-cut diamonds and is as mesmerizing as a hyperlapse video of the city streets. And if you must sit in traffic, do so in a 1970s Citroën, the oh-so-cool house car at Baccarat Hotel, appropriately painted Baccarat red.
