The
world's most beautiful high quality jewelry designers are placing more emphasis
on individual style and creativity than ever before. Colour palettes
are increasing with the use of rare stones and statement pieces are
taking over the traditional, Glamourous sophisticated high-end fashion jewelry and more formal style. From bold, clashing
colours and textures to the refined simplicity of gold and diamonds,
here are some of 2015's top trends in jewellery.
Statement
Bracelets
Chunky,
silver bangles, cuff bracelets and charm bracelets with oversized
ornaments are trending in 2015. A signature bracelet can turn a
simple dress into a glamourous outfit with the right designer match.
Famed
for Italian gold, the lacy design of Buccellati's cuff bracelet is
pure Roman style, diamond embedded luxury for your wrist. Sticking
with the bold statement of cuff bracelets, Tiffany's new, trademarked
metal RUBEDO, in an extra wide cuff, also conveys Roman inspired
drama.
For
a more traditional, yet fashionable bracelet, the Lily Collection by
Harry Winston combines a feminine, fluid, floral design with gold and
diamonds and Chopard's Happy Diamonds collection includes the ICONS
bracelet, in 18-carat rose gold with diamonds.
Brooches
are Back
Vintage
brooches never go out of style, but this year's attention is focused
on elaborate, individual designs. Brooches have come a long way from
the old-fashioned blouse statement they used to be. Pin them on your
scarf to create a focal point for your outfit. Attach one to a plain
hat or even slide a brooch into your up-style hairdo for added
sparkle.
Brooches
can be added to boots over the top of plain buckles, or you can hang
them from a trendy chain necklace for a one of a kind design. This
year, brides are spoilt for choice with diamond and gold brooches to
add to bags, dresses or honeymoon outfits, from the world's top
designers.
Swarovski's
Amethyst Flower Brooch sums up this year's individuality theme with a
slight emphasis on bohemian glamour. The Rhodium-plated brooch in
light amethyst and amethyst crystal pavé makes a glamourous,
feminine statement.
Faberge's
Fallen Poppy Petal Brooch with yellow, pink and violet diamonds,
garnets and opals is extravagant and best paired with singular colour
outfits to highlight its remarkable iridescent glow.
For
a brooch evoking simple elegance to go with everything, Mikomoto's
Silver Akoya Pearl brooch highlights a modern, fashionable look. With
its fanned out, branch-like design, this brooch is fashionable now,
and always will be.
Necklace
Collars
Not
quite a choker, yet not quite a necklace, necklace collars are the
new neckwear hybrid. Wear them with off-the-shoulder dresses or wide
V-necked tops for extra effect. Necklace collars can be worn during
the day or at night and are best chosen either for simplicity if your
outfit is elaborate, or, by all means, go all out with chunky designs
to pair with your little black dress.
Bvgari's
Monette collection includes an 18 carat, pick gold necklace with
mother of pearl, antique coins and pavé diamonds, the perfect
accompaniment to your outfit for a red-carpet affair. Van Cleef &
Arpel offer a floral, white gold and sapphire necklace to add a
delicate, ultra feminine flavour for day or nightwear.
For
the ultimate in glamour and sophistication, Cartier's signature C De
Cartier Necklace in 18-carat pink gold, set with a brilliant cut
diamond, has an adjustable chain to ensure you can position it in
just the right spot for your outfit.
Mismatched
Earrings
Last
year saw the end of the 'one-earring only' trend. 2015 welcomes
mismatched earrings in any style. Pair a gold stud with an elaborate
chandelier style earring or choose two different colour gemstones,
one for each ear.
Simple
daywear can be transformed into creative art by cleverly
accessorising earrings. Marc by Marc Jacob's Orbit gold-tone hoop
earrings look fantastic together with sleek, pulled back hair, but
combining one with a single gold, diamond stud in the other ear works
with this year's trends.
