Graphic, ultra-sophisticated, sculptural shapes in jewelry give a nod to modern art for spring 2008. Inspired by the sleek lines of the Art Deco period, the optical and geometric silhouettes of the 1960s, and the assertive boldness of the 1980s, designers are reinventing geometric styles with a truly contemporary, inventive slant. Fine jewelry elements are executed in unexpected materials: High karat gold with steel, diamonds, and Lucite create the feeling of owning and wearing one-of-a-kind pieces.
Styles such as Martha O’Brien’s ultra wide link cuff bracelet of Lucite and 18k gold, Fern Freeman’s inlay ring, and Suzy Landa’s squared off hoop earrings are indicative of the current direction towards original and powerful statement making jewels.
