As models walked fiercely down the catwalks this past fall in New York, Paris and Milan, designers gave us a preview of the newest jewelry trends to kick off the 2014 spring season.
Here are the jewelry crazes of the season and our favorite designer looks that can easily translate into everyday life to become a part of anyone’s jewelry collection.
Sydney Evan “Love” earrings, bedecked in 0.13 ctw diamonds, currently in our Leo Hamel showroom.
Spellbound
Don’t just wear it: spell it! Word jewelry like Sydney Evan’s iconic “Love” necklace, ring, and earrings is growing in popularity as more jewelers are spelling out their favorite words of endearment and slogans in diamonds and gold.
Fringe Out
Fringe is being revived this year with decorated borders, ragged edges and lively tassels. Whether constructed of metal chains or layered beads, this striking look can be embodied in a pair of eye-catching earrings or a statement necklace.
Nina Ricci Spring/Summer 2014 stacked cuffs
Stack Attack!
Heap on the bracelets and create your unique fashion vision. Stacking various bracelets and cuffs made of different materials, shapes and stones is a bold look for the fashion savvy. Dramatic, thick cuffs crossed over into the new year, and can easily be layered with your favorite friendship bracelets, Pandora charms or beloved jewelry antiquities.
Fly Away For Spring
Soaring birds, fluttering butterflies and expressive bees are emerging this spring in pendants, rings and even brooches. Quickly becoming the perfect springtime accessory, these winged creatures cleverly complement the flowery designs already blooming in your jewelry collection.
Look At Me!
Lanvin insect brooches and gold jewelry for Fall/Winter 2013-2014
Bigger is still better as distinct beaded ethnic necklaces, thick gold chains and sizable pendants appeared once more upon the runway. Dominated by bright, often unusual colors, these necklaces can spice up any look and easily go from day to night.
Friendship Forever
It’s not just for kids anymore. Woven friendship bracelets and leather bracelet tags are in this year, paired with larger statement pieces.
With the Pantone color of the year being Radiant Orchid, expect vibrant gemstone colors like amethysts, tourmalines and sapphires to increase in popularity. With the Hollywood awards season in full swing, we’re bound to encounter more developing jewelry and fashion trends from the top designers around the globe. Keep your eyes peeled for some fabulous jewels and chic designs in the year ahead!
