The Faces
of Elegance
Define Holiday Style
Timeless Elegance; Modern Elegance; Sophisticated Elegance -
Whatever your personal style,
jewelry designer Colette Bouchez says
let elegance be your defining factor!
"This is not only the year when truly elegant
jewelry takes center stage, it's also the
year when elegance is micro-defined by
personal style - with three very distinct
and different takes on the elegance theme,' says
Bouchez, director of CountryDutchess.com
First, comes Timeless Elegance -
antique reproduction jewels in old world style.
"This is a look straight out of the House of Windsor -
if you love the look of heirloom jewelry,
or if you love the 1920's and 30's Old Hollywood Glamour
then Timeless Elegance is the look for you," says Bouchez.
Look for princess cut cz diamonds, matte silver pearls,
and lots of pave bangle bracelets.
"Think Ivanka Trump in her gorgeous timelessly elegant wedding ensemble.", says
Bouchez.
Next comes Modern Elegance -
a combination of new money and old world glamour!
"Think modern elegance like
Angelina Jolie and Scarlett Johannsen - these are
all modernly elegant women with a look blends
old world glamour with new world sensibility," says Bouchez.
Look for those large Oscar Winning teardrop earrings,
crystal chandelier earrings in unexpected colors like
smokey plum or Orchid,
and bangles with deep embossing and pave crystals.
Finally comes the look of
Sophisticated Elegance -
for the woman who knows it all - but is very discreet
about who she tells!
Think women like Kate Winslet, Katherine Heigel
and Katherine Zeta Jones.
"Sophisticated Elegance is the woman
who knows who she is, doesn't need to impress anyone -
but somehow always impresses everyone," says Bouchez.
The style is personified by simple jewelry with elegant touches,
such as Museum Style drop earrings with lots of
ornate detail and sparkling crystals in unexpected cuts and colors.
Also look for soft, antiqued shades of green, blue and rose
in large teardrop earrings that define sophistication andstyle!
On a side note, experts predict chandelier earrings in all styles
will continue to be strong this year. But for a new fashion twist
Bouchez says look for the "Short Chandlier" - jazzy with ltos of motion, but hitting no longer than 2.5" .
Almost making a comeback this holiday seaosn : The "stiletto" earring - those glamours long stone drops and dangles with an antique look and feel.
It's a season of international fashion jewelry style in a world of elegance where
every woman can let her personal style shine!
