Spring Trends: Color Block Jewelry

(Double Tiered Necklace, Holst + Lee)The latest fashion trend is color blocks – you can see it on the runway and you can see it on jewelry too.  Shown above is the jewelry of Southern design duo Holst + Lee, based now in Brooklyn, NY.  Like many creative thinkers, both Horst and Lee came to New York to pursue their dreams of fashion and fun, but not necessarily jewelry-making. That was just a happy accident.

(dress by Gucci; dress by Nicole Miller, Spring 2012 Collections)As Holst and Lee tells it: they couldn’t find the appropriate accessories to wear with their outfits when they went out at night to party.  They started with whatever they had at home – leftover beads, ropes, fabric - and refashioned them to eye-catching statements of jewelry.  What started as a craft project soon caught the eyes of designers and stylists and morphed into a business of very original jewelry. 

Both were attracted to bright colors and combined them to dramatic success – mixing the tangerines with the turquoise – as seen in the double-tiered necklace above, and the cobalts with the candy pinks in the necklace below.  The result is a modern expression of tribal jewelry and a perfect complement to the bright colors of fashion this spring.

New trend jewelry colors are very warm and make every woman feel more feminine and appreciated. But, yeah, what to do women who do not wear such bright colors?! I'm one of those categories, and i always look for dark colors and all the times proposed creations satisfy me.
I like designers who come up with great combination of dark colors, who know where to put accents, and although they use bright colors it just add a bit of light on them.
