For lovers of jewellery generally and pearl jewellery in particular there are lots of predictions for 2012 trends that confirm that pearls continue to be absolutely on trend for the next season.
Some of the trends for the coming season include:
Pure Pearls Simplicity
It may be a sign of the times but over the top, larger than life displays of jewellery are OUT. As jewellery trend spotter Lisa Jesse writes
Pearls will be the big player as we see them with different eyes than ever before. They will convey a sense of hope and simplicity with tones that will match anything in your wardrobe… We needed to correct the overdone hype and over-the-top, crowded marketplace with designers that are not taking themselves too seriously! I welcome the very simple, yet creative work that will be here for us this year
Classic freshwater pearl necklaces make a simple but simply stunning statement and, as Lisa states, compliment any woman’s wardrobe. Check out some South Sea cultured pearl strands or, for a more modest outlay, some Freshwater Pearl Necklaces in classic white.
The real Black Pearl
A fashion trend for 2012 is black and white. It was big on the runways this season, with most fashion designer showing black and white in some fashion or another. Let's face it - you can't go wrong with the traditional black and white outfit. Accessory designers have also featured black in their collections
Whether you go for black or white, pearls are the perfect compliment. Tahitian pearls for example offer black and multicoloured options whatever pearl jewellery you are looking for. The beautiful multicolour 8/10mm pearl necklace is a fantastic mix of chocolate and green colours in a wonderful combination. Finished on a 9ct White Gold clasp, it’s ideal for 2012 – and beyond
The Natural Choice
Another trend for 2012 is sustainability – it touches so many of our concerns even outside of fashion. In fashion this is seen in earthy, muted colours such as sage, foliage and hemp. In jewellery, there is nothing more natural and sustainable than pearls and they now offer colours to compliment or offset these natural tones.
Freshwater pink pearl necklaces are great value and, farmed in lakes, ponds and purpose dug area, they are completely natural and eco-friendly. The stylish necklaces are available in a range of lengths and clasps to suit. The cost is sustainable too, starting at just £85 so they will make the ideal purchase for 2012
From all the reports from the fashion centre of the world, it looks like pearls will continue to be among the ‘must have’ items for the fashion conscious in 2012.
