What's Hot
Spring 2008 Jewelry Fashion

Trends change with the changing times, however excellent quality jewelry maintains its appeal and value through the trial of time. Even though a trendy jewelry fashion goes away for a phase, it in no way falls short of returning once again, and when it does, you would already have a piece of jewelry that is in vogue. A lot of jewelry fashion begins within the elite and glamorous circuit.

ROLL OVER JEWELRY FOR A CLOSE-UP

Satisfy Your Chocolate Craving

This season, chocolate is not just for eating. It is the must-have color in jewelry. Warner Company carries many designer pieces that can satisfy your craving for chocolate including chocolate diamonds, smoky quartz, tiger’s eye, citrine and chocolate pearls.

Sprinkle on the Sparkle

Not that pave is passé but, as the whole bling moment wanes, stylish designers are taking a more restrained approach to diamond accents. Rather than encrusted, jewelry this season comes sprinkled with diamonds. Burnished stones offer an elegant sparkle that is soft to the touch and easy to wear. This is a welcome relief from the more-is-more mentality of past season. These subtle designs have a less-is-more appeal that you just won’t be able to get enough of.

New Wave of Rocks

In Jewelry terms, having a “rock” has traditionally meant wearing a diamond of the mainstream variety. Designers, however, are giving the idea of a rock a whole new (and literal) meaning. These jewels feature rough, oversize, or irregularly shaped stones, or even stonelike shapes made from metal. The reasoning isn’t hard to understand: These pieces offer one-of-a-kind looks, attractive uses for all type of stones and beads, and affordable options to the traditional rock – aka diamond.

Have a Heart

The universal symbol of love isn’t just for Valentine’s Day. Long limited to the mass-produced $99 diamond heart specials, the motif has new life this season as jewelry designers redesign the happy look in creative ways. New heart jewelry is dramatic, such as embellished initial lockets; colorful, like purple-hued mother-of-pearl; and charming. Ideal for everyday and a no-brainer type of gift, the heart is indeed a jewelry wardrobe staple, especially when the style is arresting.

Red Hot

Red and related hues – especially purple and pink – are hotter than ever in the season’s new collections. Rich pinky red rubellite, grapey amethyst, soft pink tourmaline, rose gold, and blush-color pearls are among the recent favorites of jewelry designers who have launched collections just in time for the spring and summer seasons ahead. Exceptional yellow diamonds are also a favorite this season.

At the Finish

In Fashion, the beauty of a piece comes from original design, luscious colors, and of course, dreamy fabrics that simply feel good. In jewelry, the last element is sometimes lost. This season, however, designers are using metals with the influence of textiles, to create surfaces that rival luxury fabrics in their sensory appeal. Let’s hope these finishes are the start of something big.
