The Empire Collection by Erin Tracy is the Toronto-based designer's latest fine jewelry venture. Released for the 2020 season, the range is intended to "embrace the look and feel of stately elegance and yet remain current with a modern vibe."
The jewelry in the Empire Collection retains an aura of sophistication and luxury. However, the design delivers in accessible ways that render the pieces suitable for a variety of stylings. Some silhouettes exude contemporary connotations like the Chain Link Necklace that is offered in sterling silver. Other pieces like the Empire Ring are a bit more extravagant. Made with 14K White gold and Black Rhodium, completed with a Bi-Colored Sapphire and Diamonds, this piece retails for $8,500 CAD.
