Skull Beads
2010 - 2011 High End Designer Costume Jewelry Trend ForecastWhether you are a collector, a fashionista or a distinguishing trait shop retailer, knowing what fashion jewelry trends are current and coming is critical and then being capable to duplicate the trend at a fraction of the architect or syndication pieces is essential. After much market exploration and trend-spotting, I have compiled a list of the jewelry trends for 2010 and into 2011. In summary; -Massive, Dramatic and Heavy Metals - Antique, Vintage, Retro & New Combinations - Dramatic, unique, strange necklaces ¨ Ornamented & Bold Bracelets ¨ Eclectic Natural Look ¨ Crystal, Rhinestone & Venetian Art Glass ¨ Black, Grey and Neutrals - 2010-2011 Color Predictions ¨ Faux & Real Pearls ¨ Over-The-Top Rings - Enormous Hoops and Chandelier Earrings -Green Eco Aware Movement
Massive, Dramatic and Heavy Metals– Big and bold ornamentations are in this season. There is no such thing as "not enough" and "more more-ness" is perfectly desirable. Decadently embellished pieces having drama and making a major statement will be the showstoppers every one is looking to own. Also massive metal pieces such as the giant curb link necklace pieces designed by Kenneth J. Lane and others and which are very expensive.
Antique, Vintage, Retro & New Combinations – everyone loves the look of antique, vintage and retro jewelry and now the latest trend is to thoughtfully mix these with new and originative pieces for a distinguishable one of a kind look. Jewelry designers such as Elizabeth Locke and Roberto Coin are beautifully infusing their new conceptions and marrying them to antiquate and vintage looks and the resulting designs are perfection.
Dramatic, distinguishable and strange necklaces – different from in the past when the massive brooches and pins were the key element in one's personal adornment… it is now the necklace. Necklaces that fill a neckline such as the popular bib style, or the long multi-chain with or without a pendant such as a heap of of the designs by Chopard may include rhinestone crosses, circles, skulls and skeleton keys. Also multi media pieces that appear to be one-of-a kind formulate that ever standard "artist -bohemian" look and each having sameness earrings to finish the statement is what drama and distinctive are all about. Ornamented & Bold Bracelets– this trend has been hot for a while since Louis Vuitton made a major statement with his embellished cuff designs. Also fantasti dyed leather cuffs remindful of "surfer chic" with embellishment are making their appearance. Massive lucite confetti bangles like the old 50's – 60's versions, and metal cuffs with charms, studs and crystals are all larger than ever.
Eclectic Natural Ethnic and Tribal Looks – ethnic and territorial designs are always hot and this year is no exception. Taking from the Native American or African use of natural stones including turquoise, agates, onyx, opaque and semi precious stones in rock candy colors and like the high end designs of Oscar Heyman and Katy Briscoe. Gorgeous pale angelskin coral and the most crucial one yet is cherished and rare red coral whether applied in their raw form or carved are not to be missed. All of this integrated into firstborn nature inspired designs create an "earth mother" appeal.
Crystal, Rhinestone & Venetian Art Glass– this look is eternal as it duplicates the look of fine diamonds at a mere fraction of the cost. Grey and black are new this year and H. Stern's "Cobblestone" collection and jewelry architect Jane Taylor's use of beautifully colored sets in interesting color combinings in dangle earrings, bracelets and necklaces are making any jewelry maven wanting these tasty morsels. The combining of Venetian and Murano colorful lamp-work art-glass beads and hand-blown glass make for a extremely pleasing combining of light reflecting beauty.
Black, Grey and Neutrals – this is a major trend in not only women's but men's jewelry. It may be glass, metal, crystals, lucite, pearls, leather or anodized stainless steel. All of these materials when used measuredly manufacture a very sophisticated statement. Another less available but super hot trend is the use of rough cut and off color diamonds, such as Rio Tinto's grey diamond "Silver Mist Collection". Also coming from Italy (and who knows fashion and trends better than the Italians) is Chocolate Gold and is being used extensive in the collections of Italian jewelry designers de Grisogono, Licia Mattioli and Gruosi. Chocolate gold is finelooking with any skin tone and the unfeigned jewelry lover with discerning taste will fall in love with it. 2010 – 2011 Color predictions- the color stories for 2010 and moving into 2011 are muted tones: pale grey blues, faded creams and taupe, soft violets, washed out ochre, and then combined with more completely filled colors such as yellow, violet, purple, red and cerulean blue. These colors are one step away from the jewel-tones and pastels in the past and are more distinguishable and make for outstanding combinations. Elizabeth Gage, Tom Munsteiner and Paloma Picasso use some of these color stories in their highly desirable jewelry pieces which may trade for $1000's.
Faux & Real Pearls – Pearls are pure classicism. For centuries they have been highly desired for their distinctive one of a kind nature. However in 2010-2011, pearls are not your mom's string of 8mm pearls anymore. Pearls whether real or faux are coming in massive rounds, teardrops or biwa shapes and are showing up everywhere. Even Cartier has revived their classic styling in more eye catching pearl in combining with diamonds designs. Pearls may be at the end of a long neck chain, integrated into a massive heavy metal multi chain bib necklace, on top of a ring, dangling from ears or clustered as charms around the wrist. They are still effeminate but with a "warrior princess" edge.
Over-The-Top Rings- whether faux or real the more one may put on a finger the better and the idea is to "catch the eye". Clusters of crystals, pearls, charms, Lucite beads, reflecting a style referred to as "French Salon Chic". Flashing an unbelievable ring while having cocktails and speech is the extreme "tease" and everyone will be envious.
Enormous Hoops and Chandelier Earrings – The hoop earrings is exceedingly versatile and this trend is still very strong. The bigger… longer… and glitzier the better. Earring Hoops that are 2" – 4" long and have rhinestones or diamonds on the outside and inside are right on trend. Jewelry designers Patricia Locke and Ramona Singer are creating new and stimulating hoop earring designs. Now for a more refined and tasteful look, chandelier earrings are perfect. Bulgari, and others are giving their spun on this classic earring design. In 2010, earrings with intense color palettes such as hot pinks, reds, greens and yellows give rise to a striking contrast that will give any fashion look a touch of glamour. Green Eco Aware Movement –thank God this motion at long last made it to the over-indulgent world of jewelry. More and more designers such as Mari & Lani Davis, Alex and Ani, and Tamra Gentry just to name a few are concerned with" recycle and reuse" philosophies in their designs. Whether it is recycling automati paint, plastic milk cartons, applied newspapers, or just plain trash… interesting and stimulating jewelry is in a literal sense popping up everywhere!!. Consider yourself forewarned and now that you are armed with market perceptivities and trend predictions, what do you do when it comes to them?

How do I put skull/butterflies/beads on hair falls? [dreadlocks basically]? I want to make galore dreadlocks at the moment but I saw a lot of with glitter strings which I have and beads/skulls/ or butterflies/ in them I thought it looked cute. But do you glue em on or what? like these I likewise noticed in my exploration that they ordinarily put tubes in them so i was curious what is up with those too? like how did those work? [No I'm not actually gonna do the tube thing but I'm curious] you could buy tiny clips(the ones that look like little teeth lol) are glue the butterflies to them and just clip them to your falls so you may re-arrange them or take them out without messing up the dreads. you could likewise use wire and wrap it around whatsoever then twist it around a dread |
