Fall Trends
Fall Color Trends
The leaves are falling, the weather’s cooling down, and the days are getting shorter as we find ourselves in that specialtime of year when we layer on our favorite fashions and accessories.
Cultural inspirations come from the landscapes of Spain and Russia, tongue-in-cheek British mod and Asian flare in kimono sleeves and mandarin collars.
Fine jewelry remains an essential fashion accessory. The focus this year is not on flash, but rather elegance with attention to detail and craftsmanship. Major movements reveal ultra feminine motifs, masculine shapes with ladylike accents, art deco themes, and futuristic mod graphics.Hammered metals in pink, yellow or white gold set with gemstones are key.
Other trends embrace yellow gold and onyx‘40s-style gem pavĂ© with bold,faceted chalcedony or chandelier-cut crystal; and clean metal shapes adorned with crystals, hematite, and marcasite.
As expected, dark neutrals prevail for fall fashion, including black, brown and gray, with various shades of gray most prominent. The most powerful color trends in New York are driven by concern for the environment. Green rules, especially softer, more botanical shades like moss. Nature blues—in the colors of the sky and water—are important.
Purples explode in a natural fusion of plums and berries. New earthy neutrals reflect hues of stones and soil. Yellows shift to lower chromes of ochre tones. While rich, ethnic accents like deep, exotic reds and warm, radiant oranges punch up lighter neutrals.In London, Milan and Paris, rich, saturated color is even more pronounced. Next to dark neutrals, purple is a favorite in shades from violet to grape. Popular blues range from inky navy, indigo and cobalt to teal, aqua and ice blue. Greens, too, offer a spectrum of earthy colors such as grass, spearmint, emerald, jade, sage, and olive.
Various orange into yellow shades are key like burnt amber, poppy, tangerine, marigold, mustard, and lemon. Even eye-searing bright neons inject shots of lime, hot pink, fuchsia and scarlet into the palette. Burnished gold and bronze hues add a decorative touch.The contrast of the season’s neutrals combined with bright emerging colors creates the perfect balance—as in ashy gray with berry purple; metallic silver with fruity citron; charcoal with burnt orange; almond with bright tangerine; chocolate brown with bubble gum pink; or graphic black and white with chartreuse, emerald, or malachite.
Other seasonal combinations include champagne-tinted pastels with cinnamon and chocolate, fruity shades with stark white, and industrial hues from silvery blues, to greens and lavenders with gray overtones or a spritz of oxidized metallics. Look for tone-on-tone designs, color gradations, random color clusters, and mosaics to be important.
Ideal gems for this palette include emerald, demantoid and tsavorite garnets, peridot, spessartite garnet, Mexican fire opal, green and purple amethyst, aquamarine, blue and fancy sapphire, and various colors of tourmaline, moonstone, and zircon.
Opal with interesting play of color is a designer favorite, while onyx and pearls are perfect for black and white blends. Classic turquoise, lapis, coral, and various agates also work well with the latest fashion shades.
Fall Must Haves
1. Big gem cocktail rings
2. Statement necklace, typically set in different gems in one color family
3. Long chain necklaces with interspersed gems and/or pearls, or hanging prominent gem pendant
4. Gem-set earrings in drop, modified chandelier or hoop styles
5. Gem sprinkled bangles or cuffs, the more the merry for bold wrist action
6. Gem brooches are ideal for adding jeweled embellishment to any fashion

Passion For Paisley
Passion For Paisley
The paisley motif, which first originated in Persia in the 1500’s, was used in textile design to decorate royal interiors and court garments. The pattern was soon adopted in India with delicate and intricate floral and foliage motifs.
For the new season, jewelry designers are reinterpreting paisleys found in embroidery fabrics and lace motifs. They are spinning these looks, which range from richly flowery and colorful to embellished yet subtle, into gold with diamond and gemstone accents. Designers also borrow their influences from the ornamental saris and silks of India and the cashmere shawls from Kashmir.
Best Jewels of Emmys Runways, red carpets
Best of the Emmys Runways, red carpets.
Television's biggest celebrities at the Emmy Awards Sunday overwhelmingly felt nostalgic for old Hollywood with red lips and white dresses, updos, and glam jewels.
After teasing us last year with a return to necklaces, bare necks are back. Earrings, bracelets, and rings, however, are bold, elegant, and, happily, interesting in design.
Some of the top trends at Emmys were:
Deco Inspiration. Clean geometric designs, and deco-inspired swingy drop earrings went well with hints of flapper in fringe and dropped waists.
Yellow gold. Yellow was a surprising contrast to the traditional white-on-white looks of past seasons.
Black Jewels. Blackened metal offered an antique look when set with diamonds. Others chose dark metal (or black pearls and gemstones) for a sharp and modern contrast to white gowns.
Bold Drops. Drop-earring silhouettes are still the favorite, but linear drops have been replaced by bolder looks. Forward hoops, oversize geometric shapes, and multiple drop designs were most popular.

3D Nature


Jewelry this season is a bejeweled museum of natural history. Buds and blossoms are fresh off the stem. Animals, birds, and insects have legs and ears, wings and beaks. Fruit is ripe and round, ready for picking.
Although nature has long inspired the jeweler’s art, these three-dimensional models are no longer confined to the whimsical brooch. Roses perch on the finger. A vine twists around the wrist. Wings extend and jewelry takes flight into new levels of dimension. Pieces both small and large have taken on more depth.

SUMMER TRENDS 2007
As the weather warms, the fine jewelry forecast for Spring is bright. According to fashion designers this season, the color white just looks right. It also happens to be the perfect canvas for those who like to accessorize with colorful gemstone jewelry and intricate precious metal creations that will not be ignored. Some key trends in fine jewelry that are sure to attract keen shoppers include:
Necklaces
Choker style necklaces pair perfectly with turned up collar shirts
Colorful gemstones formed into a V-shape are made to look like a pretty bib
Chain link necklaces come in extra long to allow for wrapping .Charms that can be added and removed to necklaces create a more personalized look. Little layered pendants with initials, personal symbols or words are perfect for women of any age
Bracelets
Charm bracelets that used to take years to build are now ready made and ready to wear, thanks to designers who offer the look for the less patient. Cuff bracelets made from smooth dark ebony wood or those that feature a rainbow of colorful gemstones are the “it” accessory of the season
Thick or thin, bangles stacked up have high impact
Rings
Earrings
The hoopla over hoop earrings continues. Oversized versions, as preferred by celebrities like Beyoncé Knowles also appeal to the brave at heart. Fear not though, all sized hoops are stylish this season. Sets of three earrings that coordinate, not match, are making waves this Spring.
