JCK 5: Amazing Lace



Amidst the romantic pastel colors and sheer fabrics of spring fashion, lace commands no small degree of influence. Airy webs of symmetrical patterns are as prominent in jewelry as they are in couture. While clothing designers stitch up the season’s latest looks, goldsmiths are casting, laser cutting, and seemingly sewing together spools of karat gold and silver to create complementary styles. Richly embroidered and brocade effects—evident in oversize bracelets and earrings—and delicate lacey motifs and silhouettes are ideal accents for the upcoming season’s très feminine attire.
