cutting edge of body jewelry
There is a new growing trend among the new age executives and yuppies in the fashion world. Body accessorizing is becoming popular with more fashion conscious individuals making a statement with a nose ring, a belly ring and even cartilage ear piercing!
For me, body piercing or body jewelry is common since I used to teach in a design school with the most funky and fashionable teens. When done tastefully, a belly button ring or a nose ring can be an identity enhancement but when it’s gone overboard, it can turn people off. Just like our fashion tastes, everyone is entitled to be who you want to be as long as you are comfortable about it.
I am totally amazed to see the the cutting edge of body jewelry design at FreshTrends.com. Besides the usual silver body accessories, you can find diamond and titanium body jewelry. Like your Tiffany necklace, bracelets and rings, these body jewelry are crafted in all sorts of precious metals for the ones who dare to make a statement through different parts of their body. I can only admire their courage and funkiness.
newcomers in contemporary jewelry
I got an email update on ShopBop.com informing me of few newcomers in contemporary jewelry. Being a collector of cool, stylish and unique accessories, it is a must to click on the advertisement to find out more.
1) Alkemie Jewelry
A husband-and-wife design team, Ashley Lowengrub and Dara Gerson emphasize on stylish collections that are environmentally and socially responsible. By using 100% reclaimed metals, this duo transform something common into something precious.
2) Tuleste market
At Tuleste market, designers Satu and Celeste Greenberg believe that being stylish doesn’t need to burn a hole in the pocket! Combining thrift with high-fashion gloss, tuleste market offers one-of-a-kind statement pieces that are affordable and attainable. Some of the items are rather ‘loud’ and are meant to create a statement for an occasion whereas others add fashionable chic to the gal who prefers a touch of modernity.
3) Cynthia Dugan Jewelry
If you are a vintage gal who likes a touch of whimsical and earthy influence then you are going to love Cynthia’s creations. Using leather and gemstones, I find her styles and designs casual, playful, subtle and innovative.
fashion and style is a personal thing
Fashion and style can be quite a personal thing. Ever tried shopping with a friend to realize that your taste and opinions don’t match? In other words, not every good friend is a good shopping companion cos tastes differ!
I tend to shop alone except on certain occasions. Getting the opinion of a friend is helpful at times but sometimes, I much prefer to make my own decisions and take my time to do my shopping picks. Jewelry, shoes or bags, I like a unique touch to the designs and sometimes my friends can find my taste a little too artistic and liberated. These days, medical id tags have been worn as jewelry so it will be interesting if jewelry designers can catch on the trend and apply their creativity onto the design of these medical tags. And who knows, perhaps a medical tag can as attractive and creative like this paisley necklace, combined with lovely tiny faceted peridot rondelles. Simple and stylish, it can be a good balance between form and function.
the artisans and creatives are thriving
The retail industry will continue to stay resilient with the current economic crisis in various sectors in the US and many affecting countries. This may be the time where people stay conscious over new franchise opportunity or business ventures. But as far as the creative and artisan world is concerned, there is a rise in budding artists and designers added everyday.
It’s inspiring and refreshing to behold bold designs and unique creations by indie designers. The breath of newness always excites the trendy shopaholics and stylish fashionistas of all ages, just like this Cattails pendant created by Alisha Louise. Bold colors and allusion to vintage art and style plus her current romantic Art Deco and Nouveau patterns are signature to her works. Simple, elegant, artistic with a hint of individuality for every one who likes a little artistic flair in her jewelry wardrobe.
