It’s the time of year when our favorite fashion magazines are bursting with all the latest trends for fall and winter 2016/17. The latest trends in jewelry focus on the individuality of unusual materials and a fresh take on color.
The Raw- raw diamonds and natural state stones
Diamond slices, raw diamond crystals, rutilated quartz and mother of pearl all feel very modern and relaxed. It’s the new cool to take a raw look at fine gems.
The Family Heritage
The heritage look is here to stay. Antique and vintage jewelry is a celebration of the best of history. Unique one of a kind estate jewels and modern interpretations of historic favorites speak to the romance of another time.
The Glow- moonstones and opal
Like a full moon on a snowy night- moonstones and opals are a natural pairing. The inner glow of these gems makes them perfect for winter weddings. Don’t think opal is only for those born in October. It is known as the gem of gems for its inner glow and fire. Perfect as a go to accent with any outfit.
The Rosy Glow
Everything is coming up roses this season- rose gold casts a welcome warm glow and sets off white diamonds and non-traditional gemstones with equal ease. Both in modern pieces as well as vintage, rose gold is in the spotlight.
The Green Light
Green gems feel fresh this season when paired with the elegant neutrals and warm earth tones of fall fashion. Think of emerald and beyond. The green pallet can be the deep blue green of emerald to the sour apple of Peridot or the infinite depth of fine jade.
