Fine jewelry focus for spring

PEARLS IN matte metal finishes,
pinks, blues and greens, tailored
looks, floral details, flusf-set
diamonds — these are some of the
trends in fine jewelry detailing for
spring 1991.

According to Jewelers of
America, the looks that will ac-
cessorize this season’s open
necklines, sculptural A-line
chemises, and graphic prints
(reminiscent of the 60s), will be
new, sophisticated 90s interpreta-
tions of old classics:

© hoop earrings

emultiple strand pearl
necklaces

® significant brooches

© diamond bracelets

© important rings.

Earrings: Look for small drop
earrings (replacing shoulder
dusters), hoops, and hoops with
charm attachments (such as
hearts, moons and stars) or
adorned with parrots, panthers or
dolphins; on-the-ear styles return
with button styles to complement
neat little A-line and shirtwaist
dresses.

Necklaces: Bold gold neckchains
such as collars and chokers are
important; also look for pearls in
this length in multiple strands,
sometimes with centerpieces
featuring colored gemstones, dia-
monds. or new looks with inlays
