The journey to looking stylish is never over. Try as we might to perfect our own individual looks, mixing and matching jewelry often becomes a challenge. To better understand some key points that trendsetters consider when combining their fine jewelry pieces, we have put together a list of this year’s hottest trends for rocking your fine jewelry items.
Color Bonanza
Don’t be afraid of color. Colors complement more than they clash with one another. That is to say, start with a neutral-colored jewelry piece as a base and then work in pieces of different colors. We’re thinking this look works best with statement necklaces, but really this tip works with any sort of jewelry. The look works best if you stick to one toned, darker clothing so that your statement making colors pop out more. If you are a diamonds kinda girl, then play with your metal colors. Today’s top designers work with precious metals of all kinds including yellow gold, white gold, and the current precious metal color trending, rose gold. So pick several diamond necklaces in various metal colors to complete your unique look.
Our favorite color bonanza style look would include a LBD (little black dress) and some of these charming necklaces from A. Jaffe and Tacori. In addition to the lovely array of colors, the diamond pendants on these beauties are flirty, fun delights sure to captivate the room they are worn in.
Coordinate Cuts/Shapes
Bold meet fabulous with this neat fashion jewelry trick. Making a fashion-forward statement is easy when you coordinate your diamond cuts. We’re thinking you can do this in one of two ways. In the first, most traditional way, make sure all your fine jewelry pieces have the same diamond shape. Regardless of color or size, wear earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and fashion rings with the same stone cut ensure a cohesive, but inventive. The second way to play with stone cuts is to layer two starkly different shapes. This way the contrasting designs provide an extra level of oomph to an ensemble.
While we like all stone cut and shape looks, we always prefer taking the daring route more so than the traditional when it comes to our fine jewelry looks. This fine example showcases two very different types of earring looks. From Madison L, these dark hued studs from their Martini collection pair well with the longer, more contemporary look of Officina Bernardi’s tear drop earrings. While this look only works for women with multiple piercings, the same basic rule applies to other fine jewelry pieces. Make your fine jewelry even more striking by placing contrasting jewelry pieces physically near one another, that is stack your bracelets, and layer your rings and necklaces.
Interesting Shapes
This last one is easy as pie! For fashionista-type looks, try new shapes you’ve never worn. We are all so used to seeing round brilliant and princess cut this and that at all events, but what’s more interesting is when a rare cut catches our eye. Rare cuts such as trilliant, pear, ovals, marquise, emeralds, cushions, and others are a great and easy way to inspire new ways to wear your fine jewelry.
A fine example of the look are these gemstone fashion rings. Boasting a trilliant and a pear cut, these lovely fashion rings from Stuller not only feature unique shapes, but they are done so in fairly uncommon colors as well. With topaz and an amethyst center stone, these rings have the added luxurious bonus of having diamonds paves on the band and are crafted in gleaming 14-karat white gold.
