Jewelry Report: Less is More
2008-06-19
Don't clutter yourself with jewels this summer, make your statement by staying simple, bold and unique. Be a show stopper by wearing statement pieces with ethnic influences and bright colors. Check out the Top 5 things you should be hunting down this season…
1. The One of a Kind Chunky Cocktail ring Make it about color, not quantity. Jewels and stones in bright, vibrant colors. The more striking the better!
2. Diamond-Studded Geometric Shapes If you’re a diamond girl, forgo the overwhelming "bling"! Go for your sparkles in classic, Art-Deco clean lined shapes like diamond cuffs and geometric brooches.
3. A Striking Show Stopper. Ethnic influences are big in 2008. Look for Oriental and Egyptian elements to stand out. Large brooches and pendants with an exotic animal or ethnic design would surely stop someone in their tracks!
4. Crest and Coat of Arms Symbols. These symbols can come in the form of badges, embroidery or engravings. Enamel carved rings can make a great alternative to the cocktail ring.
5. Statement Bangles and Cuffs. These can be worn on the wrist or upper arm. As with everything else, go for jeweled, silver, gold or wood. Designs like serpents/snakes and exotic animals will be a great catch this summer!
