New Fashion Trends in Gems & Jewels

Fashion Color: Chocolate
» It’s the ‘in’ fashion color for winter in clothing as well as jewelry. While basic black can never be replaced, deep, chocolatey brown tones are coming close. Designers see the color as soft and romantic. They’re creating chocolate gold tones and using brown diamonds, brown gemstones and even brown pearls in their latest pieces.

The Accessory: Cuff Links
» Both men and women are making a fashion statement with cuff links — and are wearing them for work and play. Pair a French cuff shirt (big now for both sexes) with jeans, designer loafers and a fun pair of gemstone cuff links for a fashion-forward look.
» Designer: Paris-born Robin Rotenier has hit the scene with a wide array of cuff links ranging from the traditional black onyx round to whimsical monkeys and martini glasses. He features several lines from sports to professions, Western, animals and corporate. Available in sterling silver and 18-karat white, yellow or rose gold, they’re fun and classy. Prices start at $235 for silver and $2,000 for 18-karat gold.
» Price: 18-karat gold monkey with emerald eyes, $2,950; silver, $395
» For Fun: Silk knot cuff links in a multitude of colors provide a color burst to a white shirt. Each knot slips through a cuff buttonhole — 100% silk, $65. Available at Neiman Marcus locations in Florida and online.
