WOVEN & TEXTURED METALS

One of the most-sought jewelry styles - available in various precious metals - is mesh. Coming in every category, mesh ranges from almost fabric-like delicate pieces to thicker, heavier looks. Consider a platinum mesh bracelet studded with diamonds or a warm, thick braid of gold hugging your neck or wrist. Also available from designers this year is sterling silver mesh, usually crafted into modern jewelry that mixes well with cool, metallic gray fashions.
Also important for the fashionable jewelry wardrobe this year are pieces with surface treatments. Texture, again, is the key when considering a finish of your gold or platinum jewelry. Various finishes take the place of smooth metals and add that extra-special touch of luxury. Among the most popular looks is the hammered surface. Imagine gold hoop earrings - a perennial favorite - with a hammered surface that radiates with reflected light. Another favorite style is the brushed finish. The perfect accompaniment to a tweed suit or fur wrap is the warm, satin look of brushed precious metals. Try gold with warm browns and winter white or platinum or white gold against a backdrop of gray or black clothes. Update your jewelry collection with designs that combine textures with a smooth finish. A perfect example is a gold link bracelet or necklace with alternating links of smooth and textured gold. Other items to watch for are filigree and carved earrings, expandable
rings and any other pieces that reflect the season's fashion themes
of finery, luxury and touchable beauty.
