Fall Jewelry Trends 2008

Jewelry trends for fall 2008 are big bold pendants in 1960's style circles. Spice up simple cut shirts and dresses with dramatic statement necklaces. Medallions are hot as well as textured metals (especially copper) mixed with silk or leather cord. Colors to highlight are shades of warm reds combined with shades of olive. Purple and gray makes an elegant statement. Since being “green” is very trendy right now many designers are using natural materials such as wood, shell, bone and natural pearls along with gemstones such as turquoise, jade, and agate. A focal piece like a larger pendant is a nice way to make a statement without seeming over the top.
For your wrist, bold cuff bracelets with focal pieces make nice accents, especially in metal or neutral colors.
On the runways, Rococo style jewelry is making a splash this season. This can be seen in chandelier type earrings as well as bold necklaces that make a plain black or gray dress look stunning. This opens up a whole new selection of costume jewelry that won’t break your bank. Try crystals and glass in place of diamonds and gemstones. Red copper is a nice alternative to gold and brass can be just as shiny and elegant. Other earring styles to snatch up: hoops, pearls and birthstones.

Next month, in honor of football season, I am working on some designs to let your team spirit shine. Stay tuned!

Color Color Color for Fall!

Fall 2008
Since summer is almost over, or at least past the half way mark, what’s up for fall? CHOCOLATE! A palette of warm browns, creamy, and golden shades that just make you want to cuddle up in a soft sweater next to a fire. And eat. But I always want to do that.

Also elegant silky pastels with silvery sweetness combined with art deco and filigree in the vein of 1940s movies. Think of Greta Garbo in Two Faced Woman. Or Bette Davis in June Bride.

And here are some fancy fall deliciousness that I found on the web (click the pic for info).......

Some of my own....

Color Color Color!

Color is one of my favorite topics. As a jewelry designer I love playing with colors. This summer bold and eye catching colors prevail. It’s the perfect way to brighten our outfits. I am really loving the orange and yellow combinations. Also deep purple is making a splash as well as a myriad of ocean blues.

Lucky for us, plenty of online handcrafters are in on this design trend. I found these masterpieces on the web....(click the pic for info!)
