Red carpet jewelry: the trends sported in Venice

Cinema, fashion, the international jet set and red carpet jewelry. Venice sets the standard, and the runway shows at the seventy-ninth annual Venice Film Festival offered us an opportunity to appreciate the trends most sported on the iconic red carpet, precious ones in the lead.

Red carpet: jewelry and fashion statements

The dreamy gowns worn by the guest stars in the enchanting setting of the Lido could only be complemented by jewelry to match. The red carpet saw a parade of the major high jewelry houses, which offered sophisticatedly retro or boldly contemporary looks complemented by sumptuous women’s bracelets, dangling earrings, sophisticated brooches and timeless gold necklaces.

Collier: a triumph of interpretations

As multifaceted and striking as the roles on the silver screen, the choker necklace has appeared on the décolletage of several stars. From the traditional gold choker to the brightest choker-effect diamond chokers, this accessory has complemented many successful outfits to perfection: sophisticated white gold chokers, traditional proposals with multicolored stones, and bold white gold and diamond chokers have taken turns on the red carpet.

Jewel brooches for elegant dresses: the star detail

Another accessory that is definitely back on the crest of the wave is the decorative brooch, capable of attracting so much attention that it centralizes all need for brightness and allows necklaces, bracelets and earrings to be left at home. Among the jewel brooches worn by stars, one particular diamond-studded creation in an extra-large version definitely took the scene…

The rings: diamonds, gold, stones and maxi formats

One piece of red carpet jewelry that should not be underestimated is definitely the one that adorns the manicured hands of the most prominent divas. At Venice 2022, eye-catching models full of personality such as the Bulgari ring in the shape of reptilian coils or the sinuous knot signed Pomellato triumphed.

Bracelets: on the wrist of stars

Among the red carpet jewelry we also find bracelets, less worn than other accessories but certainly not negligible. The most popular models are those that take up the shape of the other jewels worn for an elegant parure effect. The trend that will lead the way? A band bracelet, possibly brightly glowing.

Earrings: hoop, spot light or cascade

Vintage-flavored gold earrings, diamond spotlights, and, above all, dangling earrings with a decorative spirit that descend to the shoulders bringing color and brightness to enhance cleavage and hairstyle. The comeback not to be missed? That of gold hoop earrings, sported in both minimalist and more opulent variants.

Red carpet: Venice, jewelry and pre-loved spirit

On the famous red carpet, we saw the creations of iconic brands such as Cartier, Bulgari, Gucci, Tiffany, Pomellato and Buccellati take turns. In spite of the new collections, however, many stars have complemented their outfits by wearing wonderful vintage pieces or those belonging to past collections.

Ethical jewelry: the sustainability of pre-loved valuables

Ethical jewelry is an important frontier in the journey toward sustainability as applied to the luxury. From red carpet VIPs choosing used jewelry (and clothes, too!) as a take on the eco-friendly to the pre-loved philosophy. This new green trend helps us maintain a style that is unique and trendy while respecting the planet.

Ethical jewelry: the “3 R’s” of pre-loved

The circular economy, finds its basis in a simple and straightforward philosophy that can be summarized in three “R”. These are the initials of the words “resell, reuse, regenerate” (resell, reuse, regenerate).

With this in mind, the beauty of used vintage jewelry is no longer limited only to its uniqueness and their special character. But goes beyond these qualities to emphasize their value in ethical terms. The reclaimed jewelry satisfies our craving for luxury by limiting the practice of mining. The consumption of exhaustible resources and the use of new materials of animal origin, helping us to respect the Earth, its environments and its inhabitants more. Considering the case of gold jewelry vintage, for example, we can appreciate how the trend to regenerate, modify and actualize such jewelry contributes decisively to the limitation of virgin gold mining. A practice with an environmental and social impact that is no longer negligible.

Buying refurbished jewelry: why it pays off

In different sales markets, vintage jewelry and jewelry contemporary pre-loved represent the most sustainable choice for anyone who wants to indulge in the luxury of wearing something beautiful and distinctive. They also reflects green principles.

But what is reconditioned jewelry?

A reclaimed (or reconditioned) precious is an accessory that has been “already been loved” by someone (here is the meaning of pre-loved) and that undergoes a careful refurbishing procedure to be worn by another person. In addition to being equal in quality to new, if not even better in the case of workmanship that is now rare or disappeared. A refurbished piece of jewelry usually has a lower cost than its counterparts never worn. This means that the sustainability of ethical pre-loved jewelry should not be understood as an exclusively environmental feature. But also as an advantage in terms of economics at the level of quality-price ratio.

Unisex jewelry: the irresistible genderless appeal

Unisex jewelry and its growing popularity fit perfectly into the new fashion trends that are launching increasingly transversal proposals. Inspired by contaminations between masculine and feminine and the advent of true hybrid or gender-free styles. In the panorama of inclusive jewelry, it is materials and design that make the difference. Style is lightened from the most obsolete limits and invites us to experiment with boldness and lightness.

In this article we outline the most popular no-gender jewelry, designed to be freely interpreted by anyone who chooses to wear it.

Unisex jewelry: the advent of the no-gender

With the rejection of the traditional distinction between men’s jewelry and women’s jewelry, the latest trends from the fashion world are also sweeping the jewelry industry by promoting unisex rings, earrings, and bracelets designed to respond to the individual’s fancy rather than his or her gender.

This transformation is moving along two different paths. On the one hand, we observe an increase in the popularity of traditional unisex jewelry; on the other hand, we are witnessing an evolution of tastes that is pushing consumers to ignore and gender divisions that would dictate. For example, that floral shapes are a female prerogative and that accessories such as chevalier rings are worn exclusively by men.

Below we explore the characteristics of the currently most popular unisex and no-gender jewelry:

Unisex bracelets

While unisex bracelets for couples (such as unisex bracelets for engraving) are nothing new, this season we are seeing an unprecedented no-gender interpretation of designs that in the past were considered typically feminine. Case in point? The unisex tennis bracelet, which is now also being employed to add brightness to men’s looks. A similar path is being taken by bangles, which in the unisex rigid bracelet version can also be worn by men who like to impress with sophisticated and unconventional looks.

Unisex Rings

From the classic unisex band rings already worn by couples who like to sport the same piece of jewelry. Today we are witnessing a shift to unisex silver rings that appeal to no-gender or genderfluid fashion lovers: this is the case with chevalier rings, which after an initial comeback in men’s fashion are also tempting lovers of important jewelry with an original character.

Unisex necklaces

Again, the watchword here is “contamination”: men’s and unisex necklaces inspired by the looks of rock stars are making their way into women’s outfits, while men’s fashion is being tempted by bright and anything but minimalist jewelry such as the choker-sized unisex gold necklace or the necklace inspired by old-fashioned feminine elegance.

Unisex earrings

Of course, earrings do not escape the no-gender wave. The most representative appropriation is undoubtedly that of the stitch light, which from being a typically feminine accessory is beginning to make its way onto men’s earlobes.

Ring sizes: how to choose the right one

Measuring rings and gifts or impulse buys don’t seem to go together, but with Ledial you can easily find out what the right size is to surprise someone you love with a piece of jewelry that fits perfectly right away or to give yourself a ring you’ll never want to take off. Read on to find out how to measure a ring easily and effectively.

Ring sizes: which to choose?

Women’s and men’s ring sizes can present a difficulty when you have identified the perfect piece of jewelry but cannot figure out exactly which size may be best. Let’s start with a very important concept: ring fit, in part, is subjective. This means that, depending on preference, a person might choose to wear a ring that is slightly large or slightly tight. The easiest solution, consequently, is to bring along a habitually worn ring (possibly of similar shape and thickness to the jewelry you intend to buy) to make a simple comparison.

When this isn’t possible, however, some useful suggestions can still be put into practice that can make the choice much easier and more exact.

Men’s and women’s ring sizes: all hands and rings are not the same!

To correctly choose a ring we must always remember that not a single hand is identical to the other, including when those hands belong to the same person: the dominant hand, for example, generally has larger fingers than the other one. For this reason, a ring that is usually worn on a finger of the right hand may not fit on the same finger of the left hand. With the changing seasons and temperatures, moreover, it is possible that the thickness of the fingers will also vary considerably-that is why the size of a summer ring and a winter ring might be different.

Even the model and style of the ring are decisive in choosing the correct size. In fact, rings of the same size but different types may fit the finger slightly differently. For example, it is preferable that a band style be at least one size larger than a thin shank ring.

Remember: your ring should be snug enough not to fall off and loose enough to slip over the knuckle. If you hesitate between two sizes, always choose the larger one!

Men’s and women’s ring sizes: some cautions not to get it wrong!

Is your hand too cold or too hot? You may get an inaccurate reading when you measure the diameter of the ring size!

Your fingers are at least half a size smaller when your hand is too cold and larger when it is too warm. Measure your finger preferably at the end of the day and repeat the measurement 3 to 4 times to eliminate erroneous results.

If the knuckle is larger than the base of the finger, measure both the knuckle and the base of the finger and select the larger size between the two.

Also remember that if you purchase a larger ring because of a large knuckle, it may happen that the ring will spin. In such cases request a consultation directly from us! We have the solution to fit any ring to size! How? By adding small dots that hold it in place. This way you won’t have to give up that ring you really like but isn’t the right size!

Ring size guide: find out how to measure!

If to find out the size of a ring that is already in our possession it is enough to measure its diameter with a ruler, to get the right size from the circumference of the finger it is necessary to use a dressmaker’s tape measure and compare the result obtained with the ring sizes in cm that characterize the different sizes available.

Here’s how to do it:

How to take the measurement of a ring: if you already own a ring that fits you perfectly, the easiest thing is to arm yourself with a ruler and measure its inner diameter, that is, the maximum width of the circle, by connecting any point on the ring with the one that is exactly on the opposite side.
How to measure finger by ring: in this case, to identify your size from scratch you will need to gently wrap your finger (without squeezing!) with a soft tape measure and consult a standard ring size chart such as the one below.
Another method for finding out the right ring size: this time through the use of a thread! Take a thread and wrap it around the finger whose size you want to know. Draw a line where the thread joins using a pencil or pen. Unwind the thread and measure the length between the two points using a ruler.

Use this chart to find out your size and convert Italian measurement to French measurement:

What will be the fashion jewelry in the next SS22 trends?

With the new season SS22 trends shows a come back of a carefree and fun fashion that borrows childish subjects, past trends and shapes that tickle the fancy. Read on to discover the hottest trends for the new season.

1. Chandelier earrings: the return of pendants

Let’s start from the top. Whether you adopt a lady-like style or embrace an ethnic inspiration, for spring/summer 2022 the lobes want to return to host elegant pendant earrings in style. This format, declined in many variations for all tastes, is one of the brightest trends of the season and confirms the prominence of the ’80s style. Characterized by cascades of crystals, large colored stones or elongated pendants, the “chandelier” model pendant earrings are transformed into top complements that do not go unnoticed – not coincidentally, in English “chandelier” means “chandelier”!.

2. SS22 trends alert choker: necklace or collar?

Moving to the neck. Spring-summer awaits us by putting in the foreground the choker necklace in the “strangolino” version. The choker necklace. In fact, has as its main feature a particular adherence that allows you to wear it even in the middle of the neck defying the force of gravity. Very popular in the ’90s, this choker lends itself to many different styles depending on the accessories. From the studded collar typical of the gothic and punk rock style. In fact, we pass to the choker necklace with pendants of romantic inspiration or the pearl choker, very refined and sensual.

3. Eyecatching necklace: watch out for the pendant!

Literally, it is a “necklace that attracts attention”. An eyecatching necklace is a jewel composed of one or more lengths and adorned with a small or large pendant, very special or absolutely colorful. Among the most trendy necklaces with particular pendants we find necklaces with pendants inspired by the world of childhood, fantasy or romance, such as the tender necklace with heart pendant. The most daring souls, then, will be able to dare wearing original precious accessories such as a necklace with photo pendant or overlapping several necklaces with large multicolored pendants.

4. Bangles and cuffs: the inevitable rigid bracelets trends

What is the difference between a bangle and a cuff? The two formats of rigid bracelets are distinguished by a simple detail: while a bangle is a rigid bracelet without closure or opening, the “cuff” model is distinguished by the semi-circular shape that includes an opening through which it is possible to pass the wrist. In both cases, the rigid women’s bracelet is a must-have accessory to face the summer with a jewellery box worthy of the hottest and most carefree season. The plus for SS22 trends? Choose big, golden bangles or cuffs, perfect on tanned skin.

5. Chunky rings: the world of the “big rings”

“Chunky” means “massive”: chunky rings, in fact, are really big, peculiar and often colorful rings. Another macro trend of the season, the particular rings with stones in oversize version dominate the look by putting in every gesture the full personality. For this spring-summer let your creativity run wild and choose rings with special shapes without forgetting to wear an important ring that takes the leading role.

6. Gold brooch: elegance and brilliance

Precious, original and refined, the brooches in white or yellow gold are back in the limelight. As sophisticated details to give brightness, authority and value to outfits of all kinds.
