In preparation for its unveiling of its new spring 2011 jewelry collection, online fashion jewelry retailer Terrene Jewelry offers a preview of the hottest trends in 2011 jewelry designs. The biggest news in jewelry is indeed big – jewelry will be big, bold, layered and prominent in the year to come – with broad cuffs, shoulder-length earrings and necklaces piled one upon the other dominating the accessory landscape.
“Fall and Winter was all about minimalism,” says Nancy Alexander…. “But this Spring isn’t holding back a bit. Big bib necklaces and chokers, showy, bangly earrings – jewelry is in your face this season. Our unique selection of cuff bracelets and fantastic cocktail rings has always been one of our hallmarks, and they’ll be especially hot this season.”
Here are a few more of Terrene’s prognostications for spring and summer.
All-Metal Jewelry
Bold jewelry constructed of silver, bronze, gold and brass is on the upswing right now. Look for lightweight metal jewelry as it is much easier to wear all day long. Terrene’s Polish artisans have been exploring new techniques with metal for year. It’s curled-ribbon Facelio cuffs and edgy, industrial Plexus bracelets are prime examples, as are its one-of-a-kind Tulay earrings.
Motif Jewelry
Animal motifs such as elephants, birds, insects and snakes are hugely popular. Terrene’s offers serpentine Siena bracelets, playful Phueng earrings and sea-colored Aquarius pendants fit the bill. Floral designs are everywhere in Terrene’s collection, too.
Layered Necklaces and Bracelets
Pile on! Layering necklaces in the same kind of metal create a chic and sophisticated look . Terrene offers individual pieces that offer this layered look as well as family pieces that can be grouped in endless combinations.
“The artisans we work with are always way ahead of the runways, it seems,” adds Alexander. “They set the next season’s trends with their creativity and by innovating with new shapes and materials. We’ve got some really exciting items available now that will be on the cutting edge this Spring.”
