Egyptian Influence on Western Jewelry Trends

June 19, 2009 By Leave a Comment
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.

Celebrity Jewelry Trends Are Big, Bold & Colorful

June 18, 2009 By Leave a Comment
Thinking new jewelry? Look out for bright colors, big, bold, eye catching, along with geometric shapes. This year's Academy Awards was a great indicator for the latest jewelry trends. As usual, Angelina Jolie was ahead of the fashion pack with her eye catching over sized emerald jewels. In fact, Angelina's green gems covered several criteria for newest jewelry.

One of the biggest trends we are seeing in jewelry fashion this year is colorful stones. Another feature we are seeing a lot of is big pieces and geometric shapes. Angelina's drop emerald earrings came in at an impressive 115 carats and were so large, they almost resembled something out of one of her daughter's dress ups box. Angelina wore the matching 65 carat emerald ring as the perfect accessory. The emerald jewelry highlighted her simple and elegant black strapless gown to perfection. A splash of gorgeous color in just the right amount.

Another great example of colorful gemstone jewelry was the bib necklace that Amy Adams wore. This amazing piece of Fred Leighton jewelry contained diamonds, sapphires, rubies and emeralds weighing in at a very impressive 630 carats. Amy selected a red frock to highlight her neck candy. (This was the same necklace that was featured in InStyle magazine in November 2008, with Beyonce modelling the stunner on that occasion.)

Another jewelry fashion forward celebrity was model Heidi Klum. Heidi combined multiple large pieces of coral and diamond jewelry for maximum visual effect. Heidi also managed to add another popular and current jewelry trend, that of floral shapes.

Green and yellow are two of the more popular colors we are seeing. Eva Mendes stunned onlookers at the Golden Globes with her choice of a turquoise and diamond 4 tier bib necklace that she used to accessorise a white strapless gown. Also at the Golden Globes we saw yellow floral jewelry from Christina Applegate who wore a vintage diamond necklace that featured large flowers made from yellow diamonds.

So for the latest jewelry fashion, think colors, drama, and statement pieces. Bold solo colors can look breathtaking with black, a la Angeline, white as with Eva, or in Heidi's example, bright red. Multi-colored hues will look best when teamed with an outfit featuring one of the colors from the item of jewelry.

Jewelry trends right now are headed for dramatic colored stones in bold or big settings. Those who prefer their jewelry a little more feminine have floral shapes and settings to select from. These jewelry knockouts are a fantastic way to liven up last year's little black dress.
