The Big Jewelry Trends During New York Fashion Week, Spring 2020 - Forbes

Posted: 15 Sep 2019 04:58 AM PDT

New York, the first stop on the international ready-to-wear runway circuit is where we get a glimpse of the jewelry trends that we most likely will be seeing as we head off to London, Milan and Paris.  Although fashion designers are showing what you will be wearing for spring 2020, the jewelry worn on the runway is often an exaggeration and an extension of what jewelry journalists and retailers see during Las Vegas Jewelry Week. This year is no exception and many of the jewels on the catwalk have been evolving as key directions since last spring. New York Fashion Week also featured some alluring fashion creators collaborating with independent jewelry designers that are on point or ahead of the curve. The fact that the jewelry we are talking about continues to go forward and have a strong presence on both the runways and in the jewelry studios suggests that these are pieces that you might want to invest in and wear now or put on your list for the holidays.

Coloring Outside The Lines:

Vibrant shades and intriguing juxtapositions of gemstones were out in full force and the Brandon Maxwell Show played them to the hilt. Whether the runway pieces were real or faux doesn't matter. The look was right on target with what creative jewelers are combining and contrasting in bold, eye-catching looks.

Brandon Maxwell also hit on another major trend that has been strong for a number of seasons--bold statement chains. While they can be heavy and exaggerated for a stroll down the catwalk, in real life, they need to stand out without throwing your neck out or weighing down your wrist or your lobe. Carolina Bucci's links for necklaces and bracelets offer a lighter weight version with tactile interest in yellow, white and rose gold or two colores combined. Ana Kouri's earrings take chains to a new level. We love that this has a weighty look without heavy on the lobe.

Bohemian Rapsody

Mix flowing print dress, and jewelry that references Victorian times with a dash of whimsy and edgy femininity thrown it and you get a modern bohemian feeling in both the clothes and the jewelry. Cameos and intaglios have both hit the current jewelry scene and Julie Wolfe's combination of elements creates a contemporary twist while Amedeo offers up their usual irreverent styles

Again, The Hoopla

Just when it looked like hoops were running their course again (the go in and out of style more than any other style of jewelry)--they make a huge showing on the runway and both established and independent designers are still creating new incarnations.

Spring/summer 2020 looks to the sea and sand for inspiration with found objects mixed together in charm necklaces and braclet and linear earrings.  Ulla Johnson collaborated with London-based designer Grainne Morton for some of her oceanic looks.

Pearly Whites;

Pearls that are are anything but conventional are becoming the new norm for designers who work with these magical elements from the sea.  In another collaboration between designer and jeweler, Jason Wu teamed up with Mizuki and the result was streamlined with a twist on tradition in both the clothes and the jewelry, signaling the trend towards pearl designs that range from sculptural to natural forms.

Part of The Tribe

A sophisticated sensual take on organic tribal influences permeated the ready-t0-wear and jewelry at the  3.1 Phillip Lim show, which featured the work of jewelry designer Ariana Boussard-Reifel.  Both designers are committed to ethical practices and sustainability. Sophie Hughes is another jewelry designer whose work features these same strong inspirations.

Chain, Chain, Chain - The New York Times

Posted: 15 Sep 2019 02:03 AM PDT

The jewelry world has been experiencing a chain reaction: Following in the wake of fashion's continuing love affair with streetwear, luxury jewelers have been giving a favorite street accessory — the simple gold chain — a serious luxury makeover.

Consider the elaborate gold work and diamond and red spinel accents of La Cavalière necklace, one of Francesca Amfitheatrof's first haute jewelry creations for Louis Vuitton, presented in July during the couture shows in Paris. The 50-piece collection, called Riders of the Knights, also included several Le Talisman chains in sapphires, emeralds and diamonds.

Chains also were a big part of Vuitton's fine jewelry selection, named B. Blossom, introduced this past spring in Ms. Amfitheatrof's debut as the house's jewelry and watch artistic director. The elongated gold loops of necklaces, earrings and bracelets were hung with oversized pendants and chunky charms of the house's flower monogram, some made from diamonds, mother-of-pearl, onyx and pink opal.

Boucheron has its own unconventional chain, a flexible gold strand with magnetized connectors, called the Jack. And Tiffany & Company has expanded its HardWear line, reshaping chain links for a more utilitarian, industrial look and accenting them with delicate bulbs of gold that emphasize the collection's architectural form.

And there are watches: Chaumet's Boléro collection of yellow gold and pink gold timepieces come with a specially engineered jewelry-like chain bracelet of 330 components, set together tightly for suppleness.

Some of the jewelry industry's well-known independents around the world have also embraced the trend.

In London, Jessica McCormack completed her third chain collection, called Paperclip, which included a 22.5-inch-long necklace of 18-karat rose gold links interspersed with blackened white gold hoops and accented with two diamond-set discs. Its elongated links resemble those found on old pocket watch chains: "It's a masculine inspiration but worn in a relevant, female way," Ms. McCormack said.

And, the designer added, some of the jeweled pendants from her past collections could be added to the Paperclip chain. "You have to be savvy and make your collection work for you," she said. "Chains are really important and versatile, in that you can use other things, like clipping on an old grandmother's ring."

In Athens, Nikos Koulis's new Feelings collection included sinuous 18-karat gold lengths that are knotted and curled around gems like a marquise-cut diamond or a four-carat blue sapphire. In Stockholm, Emma Israelsson created a necklace with a horizontal strip of seven fixed links that rest between the wearer's collarbones. "A piece of a chain — the link — is as strong as a very long chain," she said. "It matters."

In New York, each link in David Yurman's double-chain Curb Chain bracelet is set with black pavé diamonds for a gritty but luxurious look. And in Los Angeles, the Katkim brand's ear pin is accented with five fixed links in yellow, white or rose gold. Its designer, Katherine Kim, said such chain motifs are the "simple, timeless essence of jewelry."

The Italian house Pomellato has reflected that belief since 1967, when Pino Rabolini, the son of a Milanese goldsmith, channeled the Swinging Sixties' freedoms into an avant-garde jewelry house and his debut pieces featured bold gold chain. Recently, Vincenzo Castaldo, the house's current creative director, paid homage to Mr. Rabolini's vision — by embracing the reverse.

"Pomellato was always about boldness, exuberance, extravagance and volume," Mr. Castaldo said. "But I wanted to take the creative expression of chains to the opposite side, for a minimal approach to jewels that are easy to wear while preserving the impeccable Pomellato style." His Brera collection celebrated the look of a chain, but, for example, the gold links that form its ring actually were sculpted in a bas-relief style, for maximum thinness.

Mr. Castaldo also ensured that the bracelet could be worn to show its matte finish or its opposite, polished gold side with pavé diamond accents, allowing wearers to decide which one to display. "It's a small freedom," he said, "but gives you a playfulness where you can find your personal look and interpretation." The necklace may be the collection's most versatile piece, a sliding clasp allowing the owner to create a choker, sautoir or any length in between.

Adaptability also was at the heart of Messika's Lucky Move collection. Based on Valérie Messika's signature Move design of tactile, sliding diamonds, Lucky Move featured long, weighty chains that are essentially carabiners — with spring-loaded, screw closures — that can be accented with diamond-studded discs.

"The way the necklace sits on the neck, with a big, big medallion and chain, brings a coolness to the collection," Ms. Messika said.

It was the same kind of coolness that Virgil Abloh must have been going for when, in his role as artistic director of Louis Vuitton's men's wear, he sent models in his spring 2019 show down the runway wearing chunky white ceramic chains, one unabashedly hung with the house's logo.

The look was expanded in later seasons with the metallic Monogram Colors chain and the Chain Links Patches necklace, a mix of distressed, polished and enameled links in contrasting colors and patterned with the house logo, monogram patterns and Swarovski crystals.

To bring the subject full circle: One comment on a Hypebeast story about the jewelry this summer noted: "It's becoming real street L.V."

These Will Be the 7 Biggest Jewelry Trends of 2019 - Yahoo Lifestyle

We may not always have room in our closets (or budgets) for a new blazer, handbag and/or pair of boots. But one thing we do have the ability to refresh at any given time? Our jewelry box. Here are seven bauble trends you're about to see everywhere you go this year. From unpolished stones to statement-making earrings, you can start buying and wearing these cool styles—this very second.

Save your delicate bracelets and dainty chokers for another day. It's time to embrace the appeal of extra-large chain links. Even better if a charm (like coins, pearls or letters) is dangling from one of those aforementioned links. One thing to avoid, however, are chains with too much crystals or glitter. Keep things simple and minimal, whether you spring for gold or silver pieces.

Get the look: 8 Other Reasons necklace ($33); BP. necklace ($35); Five and Two earrings ($37); Kendra Scott bracelet ($65); Temple of the Sun necklace ($175); Jennifer Zeuner necklace ($220); Monica Vinader bracelet ($395)

You can never go wrong with a great statement earring, but while 2018 saw the rise of giant flowers and colorful raffia creations, this year is all about the simple glitz and glam of a clear crystal. Just like their floral predecessors, these glittery accoutrements shouldn't be saved for special occasions. Whip them out on the daily and use them to dress up a basic slip dress or a simple blouse and jeans. 

Get the look: Ettika ($45); J.Crew ($75); Kenneth Jay Lane ($100); Nina ($118); Elizabeth Cole ($208); Isabel Marant ($545)

It may seem counterintuitive to start wearing anklets just as boot season is getting into full swing, but while the weather is still nice enough to bare your ankles, we say go ahead and dress 'em up. They're a lovely balance to fall's heavier and chunkier shoe options. If you're really feeling bold, slip a delicate gold chain over a pair of black tights for a surprising (and sexy) effect.

Get the look: ALDO ($10); Mevecco ($11); ASOS ($13); Miranda Frye ($58); Rellery ($72); Mejuri ($180); AUrate ($200)

Oddly shaped and mismatched pearls had a resurgence in spring 2019 and they show no signs of slowing down. This fall in particular, pendant necklaces and drop earrings with oversize pearls will be everywhere you look, and surprisingly they're even showing up on the zipper pull of trendy sweaters and the hem of ultra-cool skirts. 

Get the look: Anthropologie necklace ($48); Shashi necklace ($78); Rellery earrings ($79); LPA earrings ($88); Wolf Circus earrings ($98); Kendra Scott necklace ($128); Chan Luu earrings ($145); Brinker & Eliza necklace ($188)

In the same vein as baroque pearls, unpolished and imperfect stones are having a major moment. They're much less fussy than classic cuts and so easy to wear on the regular. Bonus: One of our favorite ways to rock these uneven stones is with a DIY pairing, aka mixing and matching different raw stone earrings to make one totally unique set.

Get the look: Free People necklace ($18); Local Eclectic ring ($85); Gas Bijoux necklace ($185); Cynthia Desser earrings ($240); Monica Vinader x Caroline Issa earrings ($595)

Perhaps you've noticed that nostalgia for the '80s and '90s is still going strong? Well, in the case of this Princess Di-approved earring, the update has less to do with the XL bauble itself (good news for those of us raiding our mothers' jewelry boxes) and more to do with how to wear it. Opt to wear your button earrings with an easy T-shirt and casual dresses instead of structured blazers or power suits.

Get the look: Lele Sadoughi ($41); Cloverpost ($75); Brinker & Eliza ($108); Diana Broussard ($114); Anton Heunis ($152); Versace ($300)

First there was the graphic tee, then wordy hair barrettes and now, this. The latest way to wear your heart on your sleeve is to actually wear it on your earlobes. Dangling phrases are proving to be the most popular (more room to express yourself, we suppose), but stud sentiments also abound.

Get the look: Dolls Kill "Boss" ($15); BaubleBar "Spicy" ($24 for single earring); BaubleBar "Salty/Sweet" ($44); SeolGold "Go Big, Go Home" ($47); The Sis Kiss custom wording ($50); Jennifer Zeuner custom wording ($130); K Kane custom wording (starting at $370)
