The Ruffle©
Made in the Heart of New Orleans
Every piece in the Ashleigh Branstetter® collection begins as an idea shaped by the spirit of New Orleans — a city of deep beauty, bold creativity, and enduring elegance. Designed and finished by hand in her studio just steps from the French Quarter, each jewel is a wearable expression of that city's soul.
At the heart of the collection is the Signature Ruffle© — an original design that reimagines the classic ruffle in precious metal, cradling gemstones in a way that moves with the wearer and catches light like nothing else. From one-of-a-kind colored gemstone pieces to the iconic Ruffle© earrings in sterling and 18-karat gold, every detail is considered, every stone hand-selected.
This is jewelry made to be worn, gifted, and remembered.
Our selection
Product of the month
Dreamy, luminous, and unmistakably New Orleans — the Lilac Chalcedony Bonbon Ruffle© Diamond Earring in 18K Yellow Gold is Ashleigh Branstetter®'s most whimsical expression of the iconic Ruffle© design. Each earring suspends a plush 14mm sphere of soft, milky lavender chalcedony beneath a sparkling crown of brilliant-cut diamonds, all crafted in warm 18-karat yellow gold that brings out the blush undertones in the stone.
Lilac chalcedony is a semi-precious gemstone treasured for its dreamy, soft-focus color — a gentle lavender that reads as feminine without being literal, sophisticated without being cold. The "Bonbon" format pairs the spherical chalcedony drop with a pavé diamond Ruffle© cap, creating a lollipop-like silhouette that is playful in form and couture in execution. The 14mm size gives these earrings real visual presence without being heavy.
These are earrings for the woman who refuses to be ordinary. Wear them with a cashmere wrap for lunch at Commander's Palace, or let them dress up a simple shift dress for an evening at the opera. The lavender hue pairs beautifully with white gold, rose gold, and silver — and adds an unexpected pop of color to an all-white or all-black look.
