Gem visions autumn/winter 2019/20: Moonlight collage
The Moonlight Collage theme for Autumn/Winter 2019 reflects the eclecticism we see in the jewellery world today, captured in three fantastical themes: Midnight Flowers, Cosmic Mythologies and Night Light. Within this inspirational mix, we embrace dark romance, mystical allure, the wonder of the cosmos, nocturnal nature, night-time in the city, neon lights and festive fireworks.
Midnight Flowers
Flowers will never fail to inspire, and as the nights grow longer we find delight in the darker side of nature, uncovering a new chapter in floral design. They highlight red carpet blooms, flower tattoos, and petal designs; explore sustainable jewels and conscious luxury; and trace the trends in wedding adornment. In jewellery design, they predict hanging blossoms reimagined as elongated earrings and bloom-like embellishments; intricate florals recreated in elaborate cocktail rings and pendants; and a growing trend for classic diamonds giving way to coloured gemstones in engagement and wedding rings.
Cosmic Mythologies
The night sky has enthralled us for thousands of years, prompting fascination and inspiration in equal measure. We gaze up and see lunar orbs and celestial bodies, and we delve into astrology and mysticism. This cosmic world inspires star-shaped motifs reworked in constellations; stars and crescent moons combined in a celebration of the night sky; spherical or disc-shaped designs orbited by delicate stones; and fascinating design notes, such as ‘floating’ stones, moving parts, invisible settings and ‘window’ effects, such as the beautifully intriguing Jewelrope, exclusively brought to the market by Swarovski.
Night Light
There is undoubtedly something magical about night-time in the city. They explore expanding megacities and life after dark; uncover glow in the dark jewels, neon lights and pyrotechnics; and highlight superstitions and celebrations for the festive season around the world.
For winter romance, they spotlight the lips-shaped Swarovski Zirconia Kiss Me Cut. As New Year celebrations ring out around the world, they predict fireworks and confetti captured in clusters and sprays of colourful gems. Meanwhile, they see neon lights inspiring vivid and expressive designs brought to life with brightly coloured metals and bold-hued stones.
Swarovski genuine gemstones and created stones – cuts
Alongside their trend analysis for Autumn/Winter 2019/20 is their exciting range of created and genuine gemstones in a variety of cuts and colours to cater for any design vision.
The five-sided Violet Cut and Pentagon Cut in Swarovski Zirconia lend themselves to cosmic themes.
Their wide selection of Round Cuts in various genuine and man-made materials are perfect for ‘good luck’jewellery for the year ahead.
The stunning Heart Cut taps into the trend for romantic rings, while the plethora of different precision-cut stones can be combined to create explosive designs inspired by fireworks.
For petal and flower-inspired designs, look to Swarovski Zirconia Leaf Cut and Swarovski Zirconia Bloom Cut.
They also shine a light on ‘gem-architecture’, and the master cutting at Swarovski that has revived classic cuts, including Pear, Marquise and Baguette, for contemporary design.
Swarovski genuine gemstones and created stones – colours
Swarovski Genuine Sapphires and Swarovski Genuine Rubies match the growing trend for deep, saturated colours, while classic jewel tones in Swarovski Genuine Topaz and Swarovski Zirconia also offer this night sky allure.
The brand-new Swarovski Genuine Topaz Royal Blue colour unfolds its rich shades like the opulence of deep blue velvet and instantly reminds of the finest blue sapphires.
For a contemporary take on jewel shades, opt for deep purple tones, such as Swarovski Genuine Topaz in Violac and Swarovski Zirconia Fancy Purple.
For contrasting monochrome, combine Swarovski Black Spinel with Swarovski Zirconia in White and if you are creating round-shaped ‘good luck’jewellery, choose Red, Blazing Red or Red Dark shades for added symbolism.
Golden shades bring warmth and cheer for the celebratory season, with Swarovski Genuine Topaz in Misty Rose, Peach and Honey and Swarovski Zirconia in Fancy Champagne leading the way into the New Year.
