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.

 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.

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.

Egyptian Influence on Western Jewelry Trends

Fashion and jewelry have always drawn influence from different cultures, both near and far. But what you might not know is that many of the top picks of beauty editor's 'must have' accessories for this season are inspired by the ancient cultures of Egypt and Mesopotamia.

Long before celebrities walked the red carpets adorned with giant gemstones and stylish statements of fashion, Egyptians were creating arm bands, bracelets, earrings and collars for royalty hierarchy, wise scholars and skilled warriors. Today, these pieces have re-emerged into the limelight, as glamorous Hollywood 'It' girls and socialites don giant oversized gold cuffs, art deco themed chokers and arm bands reminiscent of ancient Egyptian culture.

Much of Egyptian culture has roots in architecture and those influences carry over into the intricate and beautifully adorned jewelry designs of the culture. Gold was a favorite, and rare precious gems such as the olive-hued Peridot were often used as accents and symbols of power. Now, we see celebrities such as Amy Adams wearing jewelry inspired by the Egyptian culture. The stunning statement necklace she wore to the recent Academy Awards ceremony was a cascade effect of rubies, emeralds and diamonds. It was a beauty that would make even Cleopatra jealous.

Another trend we can't seem to get enough of is the golden cuff bracelet. The serpent cuff bracelet adorned with gemstones for eyes is a hot seller that has been spotted on the arm of fashion mavens Madonna and Fergie. The beaded lotus cuff bracelet, which is accented with turquoise and blue grass stones looks almost Safari-like and is similar to the designs at many major department stores and retailers. Both of these cuffs are very similar to the arm bands worn by royal Egyptians in ancient times.

As evidenced by the patterns of modern day jewelry, it's easy to see the origin of these pieces dating back to Egyptian roots. From hammered metal pendants to ornate arm cuffs, the culture is carried on and adapted in many beautiful ways.
