Must Have Accessories Brought Back to Light

Posted on 22 September 2009 by Angelique

To escape the bleak and cold winter season and gloomy economic climate, jewelry designers want to enlighten consumers by creating bold and vibrant one of a kind jewelry.

Bright emerald green fused with neutral olive green and yellow, sun-kissed hues of pink and deep purplish blue gemstones were staples at many collections for this upcoming spring/summer 2010 season at New York Fashion Week.

Subversive Jewelry, shown at the Accessories Exhibit at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, New York is inspired by the Baroque era philosophy of extravagance fused with intricate detail, high energy, flamboyant colors and dynamic shapes and designs.

From ivy-shaped amber crystals hanging off a small link chain necklace lined with bead clusters to thick metal cuff bracelets adorned with turquoise and coral colored beads, Subversive Jewelry is all about overstated elegance.

Overstated dark and light green gemstones set in a yellow gold cocktail ring is the perfect accessory to wear with one of Halston?ǨѢs white flowing dresses that reflect the true essence of summer.
