With Christmas just around the corner we have rounded up some of the best pieces from IJL 2019 exhibitors, that not only perfectly reflect the ‘Dark Romantic’ trend for SS19 but will also put a smile on anyone’s face come Christmas morning. Get your gift list ready with IJL this year!
Trend Recap: Dark Romantic
Drawing inspiration from dark forests, magic and mysticism, this trend blends Art Nouveau inspirations with something altogether darker. Think pointed forms, minimal flowers, twisted branches and mysterious snakes finding their way into jewellery designs. This trend has an overall sophisticated and elegant flair, with designs that climb up the ear and swirl around fingers and wrists in gunmetal and shimmering diamonds. Expect to see double finger rings, elongated shapes and spiky earrings especially.
