Modern Jewelry Trends

One sign that bling, like jewelry trends in general, is now as much about yellow gold as diamonds is the latest high-end sneaker: Seni, a style by Upper Echelon Shoes that features 18k gold chain shoelaces. The shoes were sported during Tuesday night’s BET Awards by none other than Diddy, who was also wearing large diamond studs and a large yellow gold and diamond medallion. The 18K Gold olive branch chain laces designed by Gabriel Urist, were, of course, untied. The gold-laced shoes, which retail for $500, are for sale in the Hamptons, at Blue & Cream in East Hampton, where Mariah Carey recently bought a pair as a gift. Grandmaster Flash, the king of eighties old-school hip-hop, also owns a pair. Could they be a harbinger of a return to gold-boom eighties excess? Remember Mr. T?
