The jewelry world is very closely linked to the fashion world, and so I enjoy watching the trends as they come and go from year  to year. A current trend that looks like it will be continuing into the next year is Floral prints and designs.

Flowers are Youthful

When we think of flowers, we think of springtime. We are reminded of birth; of new beginnings. Those crocuses push up through the snow and tell us that winter is almost over.

It is this hopeful and youthful energy that flowers bring to us in all of their forms. From actual bouquets to floral print furniture to, yes, flower designed jewelry.

Amanda Gizzi of Jewelry Information Center said: “Jewelry and nature go hand in hand and flowers are synonymous of the season – making floral jewelry a must-have accessory to accent fashion forward outfits…”

The whimsy and fantasy of floral jewelry is so evident that it easily adds those elements to your style when you accessorize with them.

A Bouquet of Opportunities

The wonderful thing about floral design is that there are so many variations and so much diversity. It’s easy to find shapes and patterns that fit your unique style.

Some may prefer a bold, obvious flower dangling from each ear. While others would like a pendant reminiscent of flower petals.

Colors Inspire

If you don’t like the fully floral style then another way to take part in the floral trend is through color. Flowers are naturally and brilliantly colorful. When our jewelry takes on those same diverse hues, we get the whimsy we seek without needing a clear flower design.

Mother Nature is Fashion Forward

Not just flower designs but nature in all of its beautiful forms is becoming a feature of fashion in all areas of design: interior, furniture, fabric, clothing, accessories and jewelry.

Some of the more unique natural patterns are gaining popularity as well:

Like this stunning snake ring.

Or this design reminiscent of vines.

So as you search for the perfect piece of jewelry, remember what you see in the natural world around you. And, as these pictures attest, Marx Jewelers in Portland, Oregon has a stunning array of floral and natural styled jewelry for you to choose from.

So find some jewelry that will inspire you and fill you with that hope of new life and youthfulness that only nature and flowers can provide.

Dedicated to being your jeweler,
