Bridal Jewelry Trends for Fall ‘10 – Eternity Bands

Fall 2010 bridal jewelry trends, seem to only have a few encompassing themes in mind this season: elegance, color and Ritani. The jewelry pieces expected to make an impact this season, are those that can all be found within The Romantique, Masterwork and Andaré Collections.

Gold, a popular trend on the runways is also leaving a mark on bridal jewelry trends for the fall. The Andaré Collection features an Eternity band that is centered around a rose gold band. The Romantique Collection offers an eternity band with the finest set micropave, bezel set diamonds and microscopic hand carved leaf motif.

Another emerging trend is adding color, particularly, mixing black and white together.  Again in the Andaré Collection features an Andaré diamond eternity band twisted around a black band insert.  The Masterwork Collection features a variety of bands incorporating color into their rings with either sapphires or yellow diamonds, specifically in the engagement rings.

The ‘leaf motif’ and ‘vintage-inspired’ is also making an appearance in bridal jewelry. The Romantique Collection, as mentioned before, offers the best of both trends due to the hand carving that gives the feel of an antique engagement ring with a beautiful Grecian leaf carved design. This wide eternity band features the finest of diamonds and the hand craftsmanship of the leaf motif.

Mad About Ritani Jewelry & the Early 60’s

Thanks to AMC’s Mad Men television series it seems that not only is the series plot line on everyone’s lips but the series fashion is also on everyone’s hips. According to McClatchy Newspapers, the wildly popular show has helped fuel a remergence of  swanky early-60’s attire: think hourglass dresses, kitten-heels, peter pan collars, floral sheaths and Jackie O inspired ensembles.

The classic Mad Men fashions, and the resulting modern-day interpretations of them, demand diamond jewelry accents.  An hourglass dress or a Jackie O-esque sheath pairs perfectly with a classic bracelet such as the ‘Endless LoveO-pattern bracelet. Or, try these 18kt white gold earrings that can add a burst of color to your demure kitten heels. The peter pan collars that are all the rage right now on the show are perfectly suited for simple diamond stud earrings like these ‘Endless Lovesapphire stud earrings. Finally, for those of you who love the style of the gorgeous January Jones’, her character, Betty, is known for her floral dresses, which, in present-day variations are perfectly accessorized with any of the earrings or pendants featured in RITANI’S Floral Collection.
