Fragments—a wholesale jeweler that also operates a boutique in New York’s hip SoHo neighborhood—is a good place to mine for jewelry trends and discover those brands you might not have heard of…yet.
One warning: visiting the showroom’s fully stocked cases as I did for a recent press preview induced sensory overload.
From a playful infinity sign-shaped Moritz Glik ring that allows the wearer to shake up the small diamonds inside to a pair of tear-shaped sapphire hoops by Shery Shabani (above, featuring 8.10-carat blue sapphires in 14-karat gold and silver; suggested retail price is $5,210), the designs ran the gamut from funky Lower East Side trendy to uptown, headed-to-Lincoln-Center glamorous.
The trends that seem to have legs for upcoming seasons: Darkened metals often paired with gold; pavé gemstones, including colored gemstones and diamonds in shades of champagne, black and gray; antique-y looking designs featuring rose-cut diamonds; and nature motifs (frogs, ladybugs, lizards and snakes were all welcome in the Fragments jungle).
Note that the showcases were viewed by editors aplenty, so don’t be surprised if some of these brands show up in pre-holiday issues of your favorite fashion magazines.
