Diamond Diva Dish

Posed, but pensive, an interesting photograph of Scarlett Johansson. One of several from her recent Elle Belgium photo shoot, this, and the others, underscore her as one hot commodity definitely in the tradition of former siren of the screen Marilyn Monroe.

Whether dressed in red carpet glamour goddess attire, or more trendy but dressed down, Scarlett’s versatility and sensuous edge is apparent.

Monochromatic, this photo draws your attention to her sultry self, and I couldn’t help but notice the ethereal element which comes into play. Even her bracelet captures the fleeting beauty of nature.

Though there is more winter weather on the way, and the landscape may be barren, it gives way to rebirth and the beauty of spring. Fast forwarding a bit to the upcoming spring and summer season, and well into 2008, botanical and nature inspired pieces such as the one Scarlett is wearing, those which capture the lasting beauty of nature’s elements, will be a dominant trend in jewelry for 2008.

Branches, flower petals, leaves and vines – all things delicate and feminine, will be popular motifs.

The power of the flower, whether in fine jewelry or fun and fashion frivolous gives way to some fabulous additions you should consider adding to your jewelry wardrobe.

Two-tone gold flower power earrings and Two Tone Gold Flower Pendant. I’d definitely enjoy wearing these to accessorize a tank top, or sundress! A little bit retro and a whole lot of fun!

To enhance more formal attire and make a statement of delicate femininity, this stunning White Gold Diamond Leaf Necklace is one of my favorites (and reminiscent of those which are designed by an jewelry designer who outfitted the cast of Sex and The City – no wonder her creations elicit sticker shock – not so, with this piece, though you’ll achieve the same effect!). This, with it’s buds and leaves, is exactly the type of botanical influenced piece we will be seeing more of.

It goes without saying that anything diamond, and classic, will continue to be popular in 2008, as will the perennially popular precious metals of gold and platinum. The polar opposites of delicate (as mentioned above) and bold (i.e. large, gold chain link pieces) will vie for a place in your wardrobe. Spillover from the world of interior design into fashion will dictate an infusion of blue, particularly topaz gemstones. The gemstone counterpart to the yellow diamond, the citrine, will also be oft seen in big, bold, statement pieces. Lots to look forward to in the months ahead!
