This season color won't just be integrated into the newest earring styles – it's a trend in and of itself. We're getting beyond mixed metals with accent colors and moving into color as focus, in materials from resin and bakelite to an incredible range of gemstones. That said, there are some additional tendencies as far as form and aesthetic that are worth mentioning, as they've turned up again and again in editorials and celebrity snaps in recent months: THEMES Sculptural Organic, free form shapes, particularly in over- sized button styles. Shoulder Duster Chandelier and drop styles go the extra inch, grazing necklines for major wow factor. Ornate/Baroque Detail, Detail, Detail… the more intricate and complex, the better. In Motion Oversized offers an opportunity to create kinetic sculptures that gently move with the wearer, bringing attention to the face. Asymmetry Unmatched earrings can be subtly different or as radical as a stud paired with a chandelier – edgy chic with maximum impact. Deco Vintage Art Deco elements are featured along with mod- ern settings and a softer overall look. Edwardian Structured, lacy openwork made contemporary with colored pave. When it comes to statement fi ne jewelry, a fi nal factor to keep in mind is that many of the earring designs featured here are one-of-a-kind, due to the rarity of the unusual cuts and sizes of the "hero" gemstones. Which plays perfectly to the ongoing tendency of women seeking to invest in unique and unexpected jewels! 20 www.thejewelrybook.com Pasquale Bruni "Ghirlanda" Earrings in18K white and yellow gold with Heliodor and White Diamonds.
