Contemplating 2017 Jewelry Trends
Just for fun I have watched many, many runways shows and read blogs, blogs, and more blogs about the 2017 predictions for jewelry trends. It’s always interesting to me to see how the truth-slayers mesh with the coutourists and I have to say that they are right on the mark for our favorite trends! So this little blog and video are our eight takes on what to expect, what to look for, and equally important, how our peerless pearls really will accentuate your 2017 ensembles in the most stylish ways! We will show you our pearl jewelry in relation to other trending jewelry pieces.
So glimmer and shimmer in our takes:
Statement Necklaces: All Eyes on the Neckline
OK so we’re not talking the type that Gayle wore and Oprah really, really needed to chide her about, but color infused with style, texture and luminosity, so that the admiring eye naturally comes to rest on the necklace.
So CHOOSE necklaces of flowing colors, creative style mixing gems, stones, and chain, as well as our favorite, pearls:

Robust Return of Sautoir Elegance
After a somewhat lengthy hiatus due to the predominance of the choker, the long rope, lariat, or sautoir necklace style has made its way back and we welcome it. According to Brittany Siminitz these long necklaces often are “adorned with gemstones or other charms, a sautoir typically (or at least, by definition) has some form of a pendant hanging from it, but the word loosely describes all of the pieces here. Longer necklaces have been rising in popularity again, particularly in the form of chains that can be wrapped multiple times and lengthy chains with dangling pendants.” Just a note, longer necklaces can easily be recreated and hence restyled into your go-to choker or princess style necklaces with a converter (a little metal ring with a latch), essentially giving you multiple looks for one price! Now that is something to consider when purchasing any necklace.

Multilayered Necklaces = Marvelous Fun
So you have necklaces in a jewelry box that have been there since…. Oh, you don’t remember. Well now is the perfect time to get them out and try your hand at adding one, two, three, four, you get the idea, maximum layering for the trendiest multilayer look around. According to Anush Hovhannisyan, “The forthcoming multilayered necklaces are mainly metallic with two, three or four tiers cascading down and full of some knick-knack charms like we see at Valentino and Etro or showing off some disheveled chain layers dropping down from chokers like at Alexander McQueen. For the most exquisite multilayered necklaces, lay a bet on those pearly intricate ones at Chanel.”And you bet Anush that we love the Chanel pearl avalanche that has been showing up on runways everywhere! Remember layering is not exclusive to the front, but draped necklaces with a back-bearing dress is so simply sexy that you will catch their eye coming and going! And finally, Missoni has featured some really chunky, warm toned layered looks sure to create elegance overload that would even compliment the athleisure look!
So see what you have, and then let the savvy stockists at Naughton Braun add just that perfect missing pearl piece to create the multilayer ensemble perfect your next outing.

More Geometry (no tangents here)
Think concise squares, triangles, rectangles, with intersecting lines, and razor edges cleverly positioned with all manner of circles. All those things you learned in middle school have come to 2017 jewelry and the best thing, no proof required! Really adore the juxtaposition of shapes seen in these necklaces, ring, and edgy earrings!

Following up on this exciting trend, Naughton Braun’s Spring 2017 geometric pearl edginess (not found anywhere else), features freshwater pearl dangle earrings in gold-tone or silver-tone. These freshwater stick pearls have been cultured as a unique geometric composite insuring every earring is decidedly different so you can truly own an original piece of art!

Chandelier and Shoulder Duster Earrings
The definition of shimmer; fluid drop earrings inset with tiny gems, pearls, or shimmering metallics that flutter as you move and frame your face in captivating color. And more importantly, designers appreciate that weight is a factor, so all the stops have been pulled out to make these new drop earrings light as a feather, and many have feathers! As an added bene, others showcase another 2017 trend: tassels!
Finally, many chandeliers drop low to “dust” your shoulders, shoulder-dusters, which then take the place of any other adornments because all eyes will be on you!

Tantalizing Tassels, Tassels, and MORE Tassels
Now this one is one of our absolutes! Nothing like a tassel, whether in a necklace, earrings, bracelet, purse, or belt to create an atmosphere of fun, even for really sophisticated evening wear, weddings, or for that 9 to 5. Again we defer to Anush Hovhannisyan because her pointedly on-target remarks about “The widest scale tassel purveyors appeared to be Dsquared2 and Elie Saab, the former with its playful droplet tasseled earrings, while the latter with its rope leather necklaces with tassel ends undulating hilariously, not to tell about that tasseled deluge on a range of lace dresses. Don’t miss other tasseled jewelry samples at Gucci, Tory Burch, Antonio Marras, Tod’s and Marchesa” clearly demonstrate the large number of courtiers featuring our fav tassels in all their ensembles.

Pearl Plethora: The Absolute Best!
So for many, many years pearls occupied two main domains; a Grandma staple for those infrequent social events, or that hated high school graduation picture where that hideous black shawl contraption was draped across your chest in some sort of homage to sleekness, offset by that white single graduated pearl strand where you were not even sure those pearls were real! Baby, you have come a LONG way! More and more coutourists and designers, including us, have ditched that model as we create and pair pearls with everything from those ubiquitous ripped jeans to the most elegant evening wear on the planet. Add to the fact that pearls, by their inherent nature (nacre) infuse a soft sheen to all skin types, flattering everyone from the young to the old. Barbara Bush, like Queen Elizabeth is almost always seen in pearls, and no matter what your political slant or take on royalty, you have to admit that those ladies still got the glow! And couple this with the fact that pearls never go out of style, means that these new designs are destined to become the classics of your Daughters and Grand-daughters era. So since we love to save the best for last, enjoy this pearl exposé and consider adding some sleek pearl designs to your outfits for an instantly updated look. My favorite, my black Tahitian on a simple silver strand with my yoga pants, definitely adds to the zen!
