Look of the Season – Fall & Winter 2008

Latest trends in jewelry are ushering in another excellent season for colored gemstone jewelry. Vivid colors, large crystals and bold designs dominate the trend. Sapphire, emerald and ruby are currently the most popular gemstones for jewelry. Tanzanite and aquamarine are also important and all indications are that rich color will continue to dominate the holiday season. Amongst metals, whiter metals such as platinum and white gold happen to be the hot trend.

 Pink Sapphire Ring

 Gemstone jewelry blooms when bold, colorful designs are in vogue which is very much the trend this season. The bold and beautiful look is popular in necklaces, earrings, and bracelets with natural gemstones adorning the designs along with diamonds providing a fine accent to the large colored crystals. The fashion conscious choose bold and beautiful gemstone jewelry to complement their costumes, some choose gemstone jewelry according to their birthstones, some for the mysticism and lore of natural gemstones, while some adore it for the sheer aesthetics.

 Earring

While fine jewelry in bold and contemporary designs in rich colors forges the way for leading fashion, there is still a niche for more traditional and classic looks. Gemstones in classic settings and vintage designs have a timeless appeal and very much in-vogue. Then there is theme jewelry. Theme jewelry in pendants, earrings, and charm bracelets has an appeal that goes beyond fashion alone because it identifies with the wearer’s personality and endorses beliefs. In addition, traditional designs, especially for bridal jewelry, have a classic look with timeless charm.

This fall, jewelry designs and colors are luxurious, feminine, and sensual. Fashion embraces a strong element of fantasy and escapism, making it the perfect time to have fun experimenting with a range of jewelry materials, colors and styles.
