With the apparel fashion world flooded with floral prints and shiny inspirations, Cartier has tried (and succeeded) in incorporating this trend into its Spring and Summer collection of 2013, filled with hauntingly beautiful jewels and exquisite stonework. Flora and Fauna are two of the brand’s favorite sources of inspiration. The collection features brilliant stones, sparkling in delicate floral designs in the form of rings and pendants, which would go well with other accessories.
Best of all is the ageless wedding collection. Wedding bands and rings for him and her are customized with names and dates that make Cartier a hit with the couples. This season’s picks are colored engagement rings, especially the blue sapphire with single colored stones and multiple white stones. Consumers also have other options outside Cartier such as pink sapphire engagement rings and other similar offerings from well-known brands and suppliers. Pendants and earring sets have been molded along similar lines of floral patterns. Simpler sets have incorporated a single flower while more statement necklaces have whole bushes of emeralds blooming with flowers of rubies peeking out.
Harry Winston, a brand of jewelry much renowned in the world of jewels, has preferred to stick to the traditional designs, which already include some very minimalistic pieces with floral patterns. Their trademark wreath necklaces have been designed in small floral patterns so that the latest trend may be followed without becoming overbearing. Celebrities including Meryl Streep and Jennifer Lopez have been seen donning these wreaths.
Following the color trend, colored sapphires are definitely in with Tiffany’s as well. Though there is a variety in the world of colored sapphires such as shades of blues and turquoise, corals and oranges, and pinks, popular among Tiffany’s customers is Tiffany’s own signature color of baby blue. Pink sapphire at Tiffany’s seems more popular in earrings in the chandelier style with tiny diamonds outlining the sapphire and giving it more intricacy.
Tiffany’s also has released some beautiful floral brooches with the French Crown Jewels in mind. One such design is a huge diamond rose with little branches trickling down its sides. Sarah Jessica Parker was seen at the Blue Book 2013 launch wearing a simple yet stylist purple tanzanite and diamond pendant. The tanzanite is set in the middle and the diamonds are set around it in a swirling pattern. The chain for this pendant is a thick silver one and truly complements the pendant.
Bucellati’s jewelry is known for its attention to detail. With the floral pattern in rise among the world of fashion, Bucellati has come up with thick gold bracelets with detailed silver floral cut out work. This gives the bracelets an extra royal and fashionable look. Among earrings, they have kept things simple with small flower shaped earrings in gold. Where Bucellati have truly outdone itself is their necklaces. The styles are not only detailed, but so very fine that no two flowers are in the slight bit different. The long necklace with small gold and emerald flowers has intricate detailing on each and every flower’s gold part. This piece of art would turn any ordinary Jane to a Queen with its elegance.
So, for jewelry shopping this summer season, keep in mind the floral trend. No matter what you are shopping for, in fact, you won’t go wrong with the florals.
