This last week was the annual JCK Event where over tens of thousands of designers, jewelers, and watch brands converged to showcase new designs and trends for the upcoming season. The show started out with a splash, with musician Janelle Monae jumping into the pool at the Wynn after her performance for the Couture audience and then came to a close with Rob Thomas rocking the beach at the Mandalay.
During JCK, Amanda Gizza, a director at Jewelers of America gave a talk on interesting trends for Summer and Fall 2014 that was highly informative.
She presented 14 jewelry trends to look for that are changing the way you dress! These included abstract minimalism, movement jewelry, graphic futurism, three-dimensional patterns, byzantine inspiration, modern royalty, confetti, instant messaging, experimental nature, prismaticity, rococo fantasy, mysterious constructions, mystic odyssey, and origami.
“There are trends that are really trendy and trends that are going to last,” she said. “In jewelry those are the ones we are interested in. A lot of these trends are timeless, they are never going to go out of style, they just happen to be of the moment.” Gizzi also stated the trend of the year is the horse and anything equestrian inspired.
We scoured the luxury section of JCK and it was just full of bright colors. We forecast that intricate colorful earring drops, rings, and necklace sets will be hot this year. Fashion bracelets in plated gold and sterling silver with a touch of colorful stones made a hit as well. The color palette we expect for the rest of 2014 includes four Pantone colors as the top ones for the season: Aurora Red, Radiant Orchid, Royal Blue, and Sangria.
There were also several new red carpet trends including hand chains, nontraditional rings and earrings, ear climbers and wearing just one earring or non-matching earrings, and color drop earrings.
