As I was researching collar necklaces for my DIY designs I was reminded of a jewellery line, Fenton, which I had seen in many of the top fashion publications, several Vogue's, Elle, Bazaar etc. Although this is a high-end line with most of the items retailing for several hundreds of pounds I had to post about it because of the innovative and high-impact designs which would be the perfect statement item to update a simple look. Fenton was created by Dana Lorenz in February 2005 and quickly established its reputation as the luxury jewellery line to invest in. Now stocked in many of the worlds top retailers, including Barneys in New York, Fenton is set to garner more praise and success with the drama and beauty of its designs.
Although the line includes bracelets/cuffs and earrings, the pieces which grabbed my attention where the extremely chunky necklaces. This is my pick of the top items from the S/S10 collection:
The above two designs are stunning in the way they merge contrasting elements into one thick, united band. I love the mixture of glamorous pearls, delicate diamantes and then the the thick chains and spike elements. The pieces take a dramatic concept which could become too industrial and hard but is refreshed by the use of soft coloured metal and that feminine bit of sparkle.
This piece is another unusual combination of edgy spiked elements with a vibrant mix of colour and an injection of glamour with a massive diamante stone. You would never expect such a disparate combination of styles to work but oddly it does. I even think that this piece would work with a graphic print top or dress. You just have to have the confidence to pull it off.
This piece reminds me of the heavy-duty chains being sported at Givenchy a few seasons back. The extreme texture of the multiple chains is kept light with a few strands of alternating clear and black diamante stones. A bit of gothic edge for the modern glamazon.
