New Gold Jewelry Is Lightweight And Comfortable |

    |
Because
of gold’s fluctuating price, designers are working overtime
to produce fashionable and stylish pieces that weigh as little as
possible. Openwork, lacy cut-outs, hollow tubing, and electroformed
techniques are now being used to create light and airy designs that not
only keep costs down, but are strong, have a dramatic look, and are
comfortable and easy-wearing, especially during the warm weather months. Elegant new designs for this season include combinations of white and pink gold as well as all-yellow or white gold for rings, bracelets, earrings, necklaces, pendants, pins, and brooches. In addition to the classic bright mirror finish, many of the newest and most attractive styles feature textures such as hand-hammered, faceted, brushed, or sandblasted surface treatments. And many pieces are being set with bright colored gems such as citrine, peridot, morganite, tourmaline, and garnet that add extra sparkle while using less metal. |
