Hard to believe that we are nearing the end of Summer! Here in Hawaii it's just a variation on the theme of warm weather and balmy trades, but for those on the Mainland it's time to start thinking about back to school fashions, cooler weather, and warmer clothing.On tap for the coming season, look for artisan techniques as a recurring theme. Hammered, handmade and chunky semiprecious stones are all variations on this theme. People like the handcrafted jewelry, especially one-of-a-kind pieces like you see in Sundance Catalog.
There will also be emphasis on natural/organic materials like leather and painted wood beads. We'll see lots of "mixed media" looks that incorporate disparate elements like seed beads layered with bold semiprecious, or leather with chain and ribbon.
Jewelry customers are going to be on the prowl for rustic, almost vintage styles that remake familiar themes in surprising ways. Coral will be big this fall, especially in big, chunky faceted pieces mixed with other opaque stones like jasper and agate.
Looks will tie in with the trend toward natural fibers and organic fabrics that capture a Peruvian influence. Macrame, crochet, and hand-knit scarves make the whole big and bold jewelry a must in order for that coral necklace to be seen.
