For this end of year, the jewelry trend is safe values with a twist. Yellow gold adorns the harmony of curved lines. For a graceful and elegant result. Review of our favorite creations.
Gold in general, but especially yellow gold is experiencing renewed interestits prestige is revived, according to this winter’s jewelry trends. It is once again seen as the safe bet par excellence. Art historian Vanessa Cron, curator of the exhibition A Golden Age 1965-1985 organized last year by Chaumet specifies: “At the beginning of the 1980s, a historic turning point for the gold price took place. It reached a record in January 1980. This peak could be explained by the social context, notably that of the Cold War and the Iranian Revolution. We can also cite the end of the gold standard ten years earlier which removed the convertibility of the dollar into gold. Gold jewelrylooked at casually in the 70s, appeared again as safe havens, almost like bullion.” It’s difficult not to draw a parallel with our times: the history of the world can also be read in jewelry, precious witnesses of evolving civilizations, their eras and their customs.
Graceful shapes enhanced by yellow gold
Contemporary jewelry creations therefore play the game of yellow gold more than their white or pink hue. Such is the fashion of the moment. Which we see worked in new volumes and curved cuts which delicately hug the skin. We think in particular of the l’Épi de Blé necklace in Chaumet with its diamonds which enhance it or the Coco Crush cuff from Chanel Joaillerie and its now iconic domed design. These curves sublime those of the body.
