Modern Jewelry Trends

For a couple of weeks now, the editors at Modern Jeweler have previewed some of the beautiful and unique jewelry collections that have launched at Couture and JCK Las Vegas 2009. Now we are back from Vegas, and we admit to still being a little jet lagged, a little cocktail partied-out—and it’s quite curious how our wallets always seem a lot lighter back here in New York. But we are also energized by the new twists, new designs, and new jewelry directions we saw at the shows. So are you ready for more great new designs?

Italian designer Marco Bicego has expanded into the men’s market with the “L’Uomo” collection. The line debuted in the U.S. at Couture with 55 styles (150-plus pieces) including rings, cuff links, bracelets, and chains in 18k yellow, white, and rose gold. Other styles include black and white diamonds, colored enamel, and leather. Retail prices range from $520 to $8,000. Through the use of hand-woven coils and hand-etched gold satin finishes, Bicego’s architectural collection takes inspiration from the New York skyline and its metropolitan landscape.

“With this collection, every man will be able to express his individuality and fine tune his personal style for a unique, effortless look,” says Bicego. For more information, call (415) 249-3800 or visit www.marcobicego.com.    — Matthew Kramer
