In jewelry, there are constant bestsellers, "fixed values" that have been popular for decades. People have and will continue to buy wedding and engagement rings, diamond stud earrings, strings of pearls, and other classic jewelry that is considered the perfect complement to an office dress code, appropriate for a first date or an important meeting.
But there are also “seasonal” gizmos that come into and out of fashion with a certain frequency and variations, only to return again in a few years, perhaps in an updated form. We tell you what will be at the peak of the trend this summer.
Chains
A gold or silver chain is a simple decoration at first glance. But only at first glance. There are many variations of chains - depending on the thickness, shape and principle of connecting links, finishes and, of course, material. This summer, rings, earrings and decorative elements of necklaces take on the appearance of the chain. Chain bracelets of various thicknesses and even cuff bracelets imitating a large link chain are in fashion. One of the leading Italian brands Pomellato has dedicated its new Brera collection to chains, and the equally famous brand Roberto Coin has dedicated its Gourmette line.
fancy pearl
In the middle of the last century, in any more or less wealthy European or American family, girls were given a string of natural pearls of small diameter for adulthood: modestly, but effectively. Nowadays, the pathos of pearls has decreased, it is used for avant-garde jewelry, jewelry with artificial pearls is in use - for example, cut from mother-of-pearl, like in Tous.
The trend is for rings with decorative elements inlaid with pearls or with natural pearls that look like futuristic plastic; spiral bracelets ending with pearls, and sphere pendants with pearls inside; jewelry, where many small pearls form a continuous ribbon, folded into a bow or tied into a whimsical knot. And, finally, playful jewelry: for example, a skull on a pearl, like the Milanese brand Mimi, or a funny bear, like Tous.
Bright colors
It seems that this summer the jewelers decided to really “break away”. The ball is ruled by bright stones, as transparent, like amethysts, blue topazes, peridots and citrines, and opaque - malachite, turquoise, lapis lazuli, lilac chalcedony, carnelian, coral. In addition, colored enamels and ceramics are in trend. corals and turquoise deserved competition: unlike natural soft stone, it cannot be scratched.
open rings
Rings for one, two or even three fingers with an open shank are not new, but this summer many brands have relied on them. Rings vary slightly in size, which makes them especially relevant in summer, when fingers can swell a little due to the heat. In addition, an open ring can be worn on different fingers, slightly different in size. A popular form of an open ring is a shank that is round in cross section, ending with decorative elements (as, for example, at Possession by Piaget). An alternative option is rings in the form of stylized flowers or animals, like Cartier.
