Contemporary Jewellery is the Future of Fashion

Article Written By: temerity

Research has shown that when it comes to fashion, change is always the fashion. It appears that over time, things become stale and fresh new ideas and looks always come through. We all know that fashions are constantly coming and going, but it seems that this occurs at a very steady rate. These changes are driven by a small percentage of designers and innovators, in amongst the majority of people who are all copying each other and coming up with essentially the same things.

Jewellery making is slightly different to clothing fashion. The designers generally have a lot more scope to what they can do with their items. With clothes, they can be outgoing but still need to be functional and acceptable to be worn. With rings and necklaces and other jewellery, the creation can be as outgoing and as different as the creator wants it to be.

That being said, some jewellery can be so innovative, and distracting, that it becomes inappropriate for wear in the workplace. So designers need to ensure that they DO keep things subtle if they wish for corporate people to be part of their target market. If not, then they can design the most interesting earrings, bracelets and other pieces.

One style of earring I saw lately totally blew me away. They were iPhone earrings, and I have been informed there is also a Blackberry equivalent. You must totally love your phone if you are going to wear a fashion acccessory like this, or maybe you just like taking contemporary jewellery to the extreme! Handcrafted from polymer clay, the iPhone earrings don't cost you a monthly fee so maybe that's the appeal.

Other interesting and innovative jewellery designs for the ears are dice earrings, skull earrings, and others made of gumnuts, hamburgers, other food items, bottle caps, insects and celebrities. I have seen people walking around with elvis earrings and even Adam and Eve!

Contemporary jewellery artists are usually doing it for the passion rather than the money. This means they usually spend more time on their creations, perfecting them so THEY are happy with the final outcome. In a way these people are more artists rather than jewellery makers, which has given rise to the popular 'wearable art'. The 1960s were when this movement started to grow in popularity and allows people to create clothing or jewellery which is made to be an expression of art.

Wearable art is very popular at festivals, where people are given a theme for a parade and come up with their own unique designs. Such themes can be anything from a movie or television show, to a recent event or topic. It is always very interesting to see what people come up with, and no two designs are ever alike.

It is the cutting edge designers of jewellery and clothing who make trends evolve. Without them we WOULD stay in a rut and things would be stale and boring. Thank you for the innovators!
