Amanda’s Style File: Kites and Fans
Feel the breeze with two of the hottest shapes in jewelry, highlighted in the latest edition of Amanda’s Style File.
New York--Two of the hottest shapes in jewelry include kites and fans.
Both shapes give an (ahem) air of endless summer and wind-swept movement. It doesn’t matter that we are in full-fall mode and winter is just around the corner. With these pieces of jewelry, we can hold onto the warm weather feeling year-round.
Consider it a bonus that kites and fans are flattering shapes for most body types and face shapes, as fans mimic the jaw bone and kites’ elongated silhouette is slimming.
Here are 11 pieces of jewelry to explore.
