WEDDING GOWNS TRENDS 2011

Designers are coming out with their Spring 2011 collections, and I’ve been noticing certain trends in this season’s wedding gowns. One of my favorites is their use of tulle overlays. Placing a soft layer of tulle over a different fabric creates a softer look and tones down the luster of high-gloss satin and silk.
Set to debut in a few months, the first crop of 2011 gowns are embellished with many dimensional details, lots of hand-stitched crystals, and large floral appliques.

The popular fashion designer Oscar de la Renta presented Spring 2011 Bridal Collection at designer’s NYC showroom.The new bridal line was absolutely amazing: various of palettes, many ruffles and of cause classic body conscience silhouette.

Since most of the 2011 wedding dress trends are romantic, romantic and undoubtedly romantic thus fit for dreamy affair. In fact you should feel yourself as the fortune bride who has a multitude of choices when it comes to making the selection of romantic wedding dress.

PEARL NECKLACE

Pearls are always in fashion. However, the current trend is very different from the elegant single strand pearl necklace. This year your pearl necklace should be multi layered, the more the number of strands and longer the length, the more trendy will be your necklace.

SUMMER 2010. JEWELLERY TRENDS

...Image makers know that there’s no faster way to make a fashion statement than get yourself noticed. Since in your case it’s not going to be a radical hair color, why not indulge in all the fashion jewellery advantages? It is an efficient way to make you look a celebrity whenever and wherever you appear.

This year, fashion jewellery “Oscars” go to yellow gold and blue topaz. These are the hits of the spring and summer 2010.

So, the top metal is yellow gold. Either it’s a necklace, or earrings, or a ring, yellow gold is immaculate in reflecting the sun. Besides, it doesn’t lose color intensity even if being exposed to direct sun rays for a long time.
The supremacy of the yellow gold does not mean exclude white gold. Fashion trends do not reject them as well, especially for day wear.

There is another trend this season - beads. During the past few years designers have created some stunning collections which have caught the buyers’ love at once and become a worthy rival to precious metals and stones. This year, as well as the last year, beaded jewellery is in its highest peak and the sunny summer days are an excellent opportunity to reveal your individuality, creativity and versatility with the bijouterie wide possibilities.

Since most of our summer wardrobe consists of light and airy stuff, jewellery is destined to be accentuated during the hot days. Thin necklaces, rather than big thick chokers and loose, thin bracelets that don’t cling to your arms are more comfortable.

If you find that your fingers swell up in the summer but you have a favorite ring, or you are married or engaged, I would recommend putting it on a chain and wearing the ring around your neck until the heat passes. Make your decisions right and the summer will be hot for you not only due to the weather.
Don’t be afraid of wearing noticeable chunky jewellery. It’s in this summer season. Preferably made of natural materials such as freshwater pearls, Swarovski crystals.

If you decide to cut your hair for the summer, drop earrings, which highlight the neck is a key accessory as well. Or the ones like from the right, made of silver and sea shell.

So, make accents on jewellery, don’t hesitate to choose bright or chunky things if they are in harmony with the rest of your look, combine colors and stones, and be undaunted after the winter monotony.

ALL ABOUT US...

CUSTOM MADE FRESHWATER PEARLS NECKLACE

During a meeting yesterday afternoon, someone asked me if I did any jewellery designs with Swarovski crystals mixing with freshwater pearls. The answer is: YES! So I decided to post a photo of the latest jewellery design using Swarovski crystals.
This necklace was custom made for a destination wedding to match a wedding dress.

The six strand necklace and pearl stud earrings is composed of off white freshwater pearls and aquamarine Swarovski crystals. A very sweet matching set.

SPRING JEWELLERY TRENDS FOR APRIL & MAY

The spring colours are going to make an impact very soon. Most exciting for me are the purple based pastels that are due to have a major impact with styles this spring.

Soft violet is exciting for the various gem combinations available to every kind of jewellery artist.

Turquoise as a color opens up working with Turquoise as a gemstone this Spring. Aquamarine is a strong choice for this match as well if that's part of your gem line.

Yellow, of course, is the essence of Spring and Citrine and Amber will be leading the pack for up front designs with that sunny day appeal.

VALENTINE'S DAY GIFT

Pink pearl jewellery designed with freshwater pearls, quartz and Swarovski crystals. White colour is traditional and classic when you speak of pearl jewellery but now pearls can be colour-enhanced to various attractive colours. Pink pearl jewellery is very much in fashion now. Pink pearl jewellery is a very popular Valentine’s Day gift also. After white colour, pink and black are two preferred choices of most women. Due to wide array of gorgeous colours available now in pearl jewellery, pink or rose overtones pearl necklaces are truly very romantic.

Women buy jewellery to enhance their beauty and show styles. One piece of jewellery, however expensive, is not sufficient. Women need variety in jewellery to go along with various dresses. Among other types of jewellery, pearl jewellery is one of the favorite and preferred choices for many women.

Pink Pearl Necklace is one of the favorites and preferred choice of many women, especially among young. Pink pearl necklace looks very subtle and attractive yet eye-catching and it compliments with most outfits.

Brides love pink pearl necklace and go very well with designer bridal gowns. Depending on styles like open neckline, drop shoulder and spaghetti straps or strapless gowns various pearl necklace lengths are chosen to fit the outfit and the mood.

All women have their favorite pieces of jewellery and pearl jewellery is one of them. Pink pearl necklace with matching pink pearl earrings radiates a certain mystical charm and is a perfect buy or gift for loved ones.

FRESHWATER PEARLS: AFFORDABLE BEAUTY & ELEGANCE

Freshwater pearls are a sweet, smaller, and often more irregularly shaped type of pearl that can be grown in a number of different species of freshwater mussels.

For those who love the look of pearls, but do not enjoy the price tag, freshwater pearls are the least expensive, while remaining quite attractive. They are especially desirable for rope necklaces made of several strands which are twisted about each other or long opera-length strands.

Another advantage of freshwater pearls is their innate durability, which naturally resists chipping, degeneration, and wear.

More recently, the Chinese have brought freshwater pearl farming to all new levels, creating pearls of much higher quality, making them quite comparable – in fact, almost indistinguishable – from their saltwater cousins. This is another favorable breakthrough for those who wish for beauty without the price tag, as it provides jewellery shoppers with a much more affordable alternative to the expensive saltwater pearls, but with little-to-no drop in quality or appearance.
