We've all borrowed our grandmother's pearls. For playing dress up, for a special occasion, or as an everyday staple. Classic cream pearls on white silk has long been a symbol of grace, elegance, and class.
This spring the trend focuses on knotting more brightly colored gems and pearls, and on colorful asymmetrical patterns. Knotting the beads in gradient colors and pairing unlikely shades together effortlessly takes this classic art into 2016. By knotting instead of stringing you're able to put the gems on display. Bright, bold, and beautiful is the name of the game.
Have you ever come across a strand of gems or colorful pearls so striking and bright that you aren't sure what to do with them? All you know is you MUST have them! Discovering ways to bring out the most beauty is every artist's goal. It's not easy staying minimal so the natural beauty of the beads is allowed to surface.
Knotting takes more effort than basic stringing and helps you create stunning heirloom pieces that you will treasure for a lifetime. Longer length necklaces that you're able to wrap around twice have a 1920's feel while remaining compellingly gorgeous and 'of the moment' modern. I also love just wearing them long.
Effortless beauty is the objective. Coco Chanel always said 'Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and remove one accessory.' Achieve that Coco vibe by keeping it simple and classic, yet cool. You don't need anything else but a strand of richly colored pearls or gems to command an outfit!
Wearing something you've put time and effort into literally drapes you in confidence. As every jeweler knows, having someone complement a piece you've spent time designing is joy at its finest. Jump into spring with this vintage trend gone modernistic! Try knotting something special that you'll treasure for years to come!
