This years jewellery trends are in full swing for spring! One of the biggest new trends this year is the renewed popularity of gold. Since the price of gold has been lower it’s become more accessible. Welcome back gold! We missed you.

1. Black and White
It’s a classic look and this year it has big time appeal. You can go either rockstar chic or 40’s Hollywood glamour. You’ll find jewellery made with silver and oxidized silver, or platinum with jet black rhodium, or gold with jet black rhodium plating.

2. Feminine silhouettes
Spring is a time when you see more feminine shapes, fabrics, and colours than any other time of the year. Florals, ruffles, fringe, celestial shapes, and curves gives jewellery the softness to co-ordinates well with ladylike styles.

3. Delicate in Gold 
Spring and Summer is seeing trends in warm delicate pieces over cooler large bold statement pieces. The richness of gold adds warmth and sweetness to pieces. Since they’re visually and physically lighter the daintiness of delicate pieces makes them excellent for hot summer days and traveling light.

4. Layering and stacking
It’s been on trend for a few years now and there’s no sign of it letting up. Layering and stacking is just simply an enjoyable way to be creative with your favourite pieces. It’s an art form really – to layer it well and decide what sizes and shapes work best for you or the outfit you’re wearing.

5. Asymmetry
From cluster designs to mismatched earrings – asymmetry is fun and hip. Let yourself go and be creative! Asymmetry allows you to do your own thing and show your individuality. Keep it simple and somewhat minimalist when your accessorizing to keep it chic and sophisticated.

Fun and Creativity
One of the greatest things about jewellery is that it gives you the freedom to be experimental and artistic. You don’t need to be that courageous to express your authentic self.

Soul, sensibility and spirit best describe the fashion and colour stories for fall and winter. There are still lots of vibrant and energizing colours along with subdued hues. Staple neutrals artfully balance the bright shades of the season. There are still heavy influences from ’50’s glam, 60’s Mod and Boho, and 70’s sleek, utilizing fresh lines and colours.

Fall 2011/Winter 2012 Colour StoryMy collections don’t closely follow trends, because I like to be creative and follow wherever my imagination takes me. My collections are inspired mostly by people and stories. But having said that I make jewellery to wear with my own clothes, and often I work into the designs the current colours that I have in my closet. Of course jewellery and fashion work together, and it’s always good to have accessories that look good with brand new purchases. Here’s a selection of my favourite completely wearable items for fall and winter.

Jewellery
This season is seeing a lot of lady-like, classic and mature styles inspired by old Hollywood. Playful and colourful jewellery are always welcome to warm up the cold season.

The Top 5
• Winter cool silver is being combined with gold for a bi-colour combination.
• Pearls in modern colours and layers and and classic single strands.
• Nature inspired and motif jewellery.
• Metal jewellery alone without beads or stones.
• Coloured gemstones paired with neutrals and clear white stones.

Fall Fashion
Fall Classics: knits, leather, velvet, fur, peacoats, tweeds, tartans and plaids.
2011 Highlights: Shiny gold tones and metallics, net/sheer shoulders, lace, bold coloured pants and coats, peplums.

Lovely Lady
A blend of sophistication and class with structured hats and bags, soft furs, gloves and high boots for a modern approach.
Lady-like styles

Fall Flowers
Relatively new in the fall fashion scene, florals both vintage and modern, from roses to dandelions. Florals are becoming popular seasonless prints.
