Jewelry designers are pulling out all the stops for Fall 2009.
You can find lush layers of beads and chains, rich colors and all sorts of gorgeous jewelry options to accent your wardrobe. One trend that I’m liking these days are big, chunky beads. They’re showing up in all kinds of jewelry, but for today, we’re just looking at bracelets.
Jose & Maria Barrera have used different sizes and colors of lace agate to create this lovely bracelet:
The bracelet is accented with 24kt gold plated findings.
Semi-precious gemstone beads also show up on this unique concave bead bangle bracelet:
The wooden bracelet features rutile and rose quartz beads, 12kt rose gold plated chain and ultrasuede ribbons.
If you really want to make a statement with your bracelet, go for the “Cluster Piston” bracelet from Robert Lee Morris:
The bracelet is made from hand-riveted wooden beads, sterling silver and gold vermeil beads and fastens with a double wrap of leather, finished off with a sterling-silver plated buckle.
