What's a Girl to Wear?

Summer 2010

The sun is shining and the temperatures are soaring! What better time to show off your favorite jewelry, beautifully displayed on your sun-kissed skin?! The jewelry trends for the summer season are all about color and texture. Don’t be afraid to make a statement with big, bold pieces or mixes of colored stones and metals. There’s no denying that yellow gold is back in a big way, and its warm tone is truly the color of the season! Texturized gold is very au currant, and many jewelry artisans are featuring hammered and matte gold in their work. Gold looks spectacular paired with the other big color of summer: cerulean blue. Think: the blue green color of tropical waters. This striking hue can be found in gems from chalcedony to sapphire to aquamarine, tourmaline and blue topaz, and it’s cool, calming color is the prefect wearable antidote to beat the summer heat. Don’t hesitate to experiment with color this season, as multi-colored pieces also promise to be very big. Have fun and enjoy!
