Purple jewelry

Beautiful purple jewelry caught my attention this week. No matter if we’re talking about earrings, rings or bracelets, a violet touch is more than enough to obtain an amazing visual impact.

These exquisite pieces of jewelry are my picks at the end of 2013 and the beginning of 2014. Purple jewelry will be in high demand next year as violet tulip and radiant orchid are among the most prominent hues for spring 2014 in fashion, according to Pantone Color Institute.

Art Deco jewelry

The design of Art Deco jewelry (1915 - 1935) is very popular and much appreciated today as it was back then. It is defined by geometric shapes and bright colors and you will often find combinations of diamonds and colored gems like rubies, sapphires or emeralds in Art Deco jewelry.

High auction results for Art Deco creations reveal that this category is one of the most sought after jewelry. 

If you're wondering why, take a look at these amazing pieces:

And this is not all. I invite you to check out other impressive Art Deco creations on Fred Leighton's website. I came across their online platform while researching for this kind of jewelry and I found there beautiful collections of adornments from different periods of time, starting the 18th century.
