So let's take a look at some quirky jewellery designs with smiling faces. Let's discover how a multitude of designers have turned a toothy smile into something we all want to wear any time of the year.
Whether you react to a social media post with big heart-shaped eyes or a bunch of happy emojis, these emoticons have become part of our everyday language.
But if there is one thing we collectively use more, it has to be the happy smiley face. Now is the perfect time to explore pieces that are guaranteed to make you smile wide.
So there are a few different versions of smiley face jewellery. The first is the most obvious, the classic approach. This famous circle with two eyes and a curved upward mouth many designers have included it in their jewelry. So as to add an air of eccentricity to their collections.
The designers behind the Italian fashion and fine jewellery brand EERA have created a range of unique smiley face pieces. From large earrings to statement rings, so these bold unisex creations are easy to wear with any look.
Then we have designers who have taken a more funky approach when including smiling faces in their designs. Another perfect example is Italian jeweller Francesca Villa's take on smiling wrestling masks.
Her inspiration was her son's admiration for the wild world of wrestling. So Villa decided to turn his passion for the sport into a colourful collection of statement rings.
Each ring draws inspiration from Japanese and Mexican professional wrestling masks. They are embellished with coloured gemstones and diamonds in white or yellow gold, with a touch of enamel here and there.
Of course, we can't forget to mention watches when discussing the use of the iconic emoji. Big brands like Hublot and Chanel have created watches in honour of the smiley face with their unique style.
Hublot's recent collaboration with Japanese artist Takashi Murakami brings the iconic world of Kawaii to life in the Classic Fusion Takashi Murakami Sapphire Rainbow.
The dial of this watch is adorned with 487 stones representing the colours of the rainbow. It is adorned with rubies, pink sapphires, amethysts, blue sapphires, chavorites and yellow and orange sapphires. All the gemstones are combined to represent one of the artist's iconic floral smiley faces.
But Chanel's version in a smiley face watch is slightly more futuristic. The Robot Premiere watch highlights a dial with the body of a cute little robot. It has large diamond eyes and delicate onyx and yellow gold hands. It may not be a real smiley face per se, but it certainly brings a smile to our faces.
We see this classic image being renewed and redesigned in all sorts of different ways. It also incorporates an array of gemstones and metals to suit the diverse aesthetic of jewelry and watch designers.
