As usual, the Spring/Summer Fashion Week runways were filled with exotic and fascinating fashion statements donned by equally exotic and beautiful high fashion models.  And while the majority of us would be more than slightly challenged to pull off looks like that in our daily lives, there is much inspiration to be found in the sheer creativity exhibited by this year’s Fashion Week designers.   2017’s summer jewelry trends feature many of the fun and fascinating ideas introduced on the Fashion Week runways, in a scaled down fashion more easily incorporated into the average wardrobe.  In other words, you don’t have to be a supermodel to accessorize like one.  Whew!   The over-riding sentiment of the 2017 summer jewelry season is GO BOLD.  This year’s jewelry trends bring the status of our favorite jewelry pieces from mere accessory to undeniable statement, and cuffs – of all kinds – are at the very center of this jewelry revolution.   Arm Cuffs   [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="530"] Kendra Scott Candice Arm Cuff[/caption] Bare arms – one of the best things about summer fashion.  And this summer arm freedom is a wonderful opportunity to make your own, personal fashion statement in jewelry.  Arm cuffs are one of this season’s hottest jewelry trends, and a great way to incorporate an exotic touch into your summer wardrobe.  Whether delicate or bold in design, arm cuffs can’t help but draw attention to themselves… and attention to you!   Wrist Cuffs   A bold interpretation of a most classic jewelry element, wrist cuffs have emerged onto the fashion scene in virtually limitless form.  From a single, daring statement piece to multiple bracelets stacked and layered to appear more bold and cuff-like, this fashion trend is one of the easiest ways to express your individual style, with total freedom to mix and match different elements, creating a one-of-a-kind look that is uniquely yours.   Ear Cuffs   Ear cuffs have been around in one form or another through many a fashion season, but this year’s jewelry trends are giving the ear cuff center stage with bold and creative statement pieces that stand alone as well as those that intermingle with earrings, and even necklaces in some cases.  Ear cuffs can be simple and delicate, chained to the earring below for added sparkle and interest, or they can span the line of the entire ear for a fashion statement of undeniable intent.  The options are many… and the effect is a powerful one, indeed.   Embrace your inner fashion model and GO BOLD with this fun summer jewelry trend!
