5 Hottest Trends in Women’s Fine Jewelry

If you're planning on asking Santa for a little bling bling this Christmas then make sure your wish list is up to date with the latest jewelry trends. After chatting with our friend  and jewelry expert, Alan Sklut of Diamond Empress for tips and trends we bring you....

What's hot in fine jewelry this year:

1. Sprinkles of Sparkle

Jewelry designs this season are more subtle than before emphasizing the metal more than the diamond. Many pieces like this Cono Harmony Open Pendant by Dana David are lightly sprinkled with diamonds, rather than encrusted. Also, burnished stones offer an elegant sparkle that is also softer looking and easier to wear. This new change is a welcome relief to the more-is-more mentality of past seasons that some found overbearing.

2. Odd and Unusual Rocks

Rough, oversize, or irregular shaped stones create one of a kind looks. This stunning diamond ring with (one of a kind stone) by Diamond in the Rough is a perfect statement piece for any woman 40+ who wants to look stylish and chic. You’ll also find unusually shaped rocks popping up in necklaces this season- another great option, especially set against an elegant little black dress.

3. High Styles for Hearts

Hearts are always in fashion and the latest styles are nothing less than dramatic. Look for embellished initial lockets, interlocking open heart designs in larger sizes and colorful mother of pearl charms dangling from larger open loop chain necklaces and bracelets. Love this sleek Judith Ripka Fontaine Heart Enhancer that blends old world sophistication with cool modern lines of the new world.

4. Red and its related hues are the ‘Hot’ color

If you love Jennifer Lopez’s big pink diamond, it’s time to get one for yourself. Pink Diamonds, Rich pinky red Rubellite (red tourmaline), grapey amethyst and soft pink tourmaline, are the recent favorites of many jewelry designers. Feminine and soft, who could resist this Platinum and 18 k pink and white diamond gold ring by Diva Jewelry?

5. Metal Magic

This season designers are playing with metals and creating surfaces that rival luxury fabrics in their sensory appeal. You might want to consider a bracelet with silky satin sandblasting, or a piece with an antique Raku` pottery broken metal look. This exotic hammered and hand formed 22 karat gold gothic and Byzantine inspired cuff by Arman wreaks luxury.
