FASHION

Express yourself
with creative jewelry

FINE JEWELRY lovers will be
thrilled with the magnificent array
of designs for the ‘90s that will
allow them ultimate creative
freedom for self-expression.

Best fashion bets in fine jewelry
are: charm bracelets, bold
geometric pins and earrings,
anima! jewelry, color in gemstones
and enamel, fancy cut gemstone
jewelry and bigger pearls for
necklaces, bracelets and earrings.

Charm bracelets will feature
nautical, animal ‘‘romantic
motifs’’ (hearts, sun, moon, stars)
or coin attachments. They
especially look good with ethnic-
inspired fashions. Stack them with
large link gold chain and wide
bangle bracelets.

Bold pins and earrings, in gold
or sterling silver, will be featured,
in addition to the ever-popular
polished finish, in matte, satin,
sandblasted or hammered finishes.

Look for these treatments, too,
in men’s cufflinks and tie bars/
tacs. Contrasts in metals will cor-
relate with the contrasting shiny/
matte fabrics combined in spring
fashions.

Animal jewelry — from charms
to earrings to pins — is available in
favorite ‘‘pets’’ (cats, dogs, trop-
ical fish) and running the wild
gamut from aardvarks to zebras.
Whether diamond and gemstone-
studded or all-gold or all-sterling,
animal jewelry can be either sporty
and fun or statement-making.

Color is the key to spring, and
hence to spring jewelry as well.
Gemstones or enamel are being us-
ed to bring life to designs such as
stack rings, which often feature a
variety of colored gemstones,
floral design pins and pendants,
and even the newest watch dials
with brightly colored enamel faces.

Favorite springtime gemstones
are blue topaz, aquamarine,
citrine, peridot, emerald, pink
tourmaline, amethyst, coral and
pearls, to name but a few.

Newest looks for some of these
gems are the innovative ‘‘fantasy”’
and one-of-a-kind cuts for which
designers create unique, artistic
settings.

Diamonds, too, are being fancy
cut and set. Bezel and flush set-
tings are new, as well as the use of
baguettes and ‘‘princess’’ or
square cuts as well as triangular
cuts in everything from engage-
ment rings to earrings to ‘‘tennis”’
bracelets.

And, the trend of more dia-
monds in men’s jewelry continues
into the new decade.

Pearl passion continues, not just
