Brazil : 2008 Trends Guide for jewelry presented at IBGM

Brazilian Gems and Jewellery Show gathers then main jewelry manufacturers in the country and anticipates the new collections that will be retailed in the coming months.

The 45th edition of the show exhibits that, next season, jewelry travels between the theatrical femininity of the courts of the past, the cinematographically spectacular glamour of the 50s and the charming modern icons of the 60s.

Women can choose between divine divas, precious princesses, glamorous girls, mysterious muses or sexy sixties. “Every look has the expression of a new contemporary consumer power in common,” affirms Regina Machado, IBGM Style Consultant.

Theatrical femininity of the courts of the past is the environment where the imagination of the fashion princesses abides. The predominant colors in accessories are nude, pink and blue. Cameos, skulls, daggers, coins, pearls, crowns and metal lace trimmings are the icons.

The cinematographic glamour of the 50s appears in rings, earrings and necklaces in notable sizes and styles. Jewelry relives the style of the divas with ruby red, rubelite pink, citrine yellow, blue sapphire and emerald green.

On the other hand, the gems in solar hues, a major trait of Pucci patterns and chains demonstrate the power of the muses of the 60s. An explosion of youth in all of its aspects is the trademark of the epoch.
