Gianfranco Ferré, "the architect of fashion," has become the latest label to announce a creative partnership with the Damiani group to create a luxury jewelry collection. The collection will contain inspiration from the style of the late designer, who died in 2007, including recognizable works of Dianfranco such as the ever popular safety pin (which appears in all Gianfranco Ferré collections.)

The collection will be comprised of gold and/or silver with diamonds and other gemstones, and will feature four main “themes” which have yet to be announced. The collection will be available mostly for women, but will also have some men's jewelry, as well. This collection will be revealed in Gianfranco Ferre Spring/Summer 2010 fashion show along with his latest women's designs. The collection will be available to purchase initially at Baroque Bespoke Jewelry, then will begin to be offered through resellers globally at stores owned by both Ferre and Damiani (Rocca SPA).

The bracelets in Buccellati's Macri collection reminds me of royalty. The tone of the silver, the richness of the gold, the sparkle of diamonds and the prestige of the gemstones; this jewelry sets itself apart by conveying the feeling of brilliance. The Buccellati family are known for their attention to detail and involvement in the design of their jewelry from start to finish. I can't help but stare in awe of the majestic presence of each piece and how it makes the statement of strength in femininity.

Alex & Chloe are known for their avant-garde take on jewelry design, fashion and eyewear. This season, they’re introducing the new Tar collection. The line features designs such as keys, shells, and tribal masks as pendants, but presented in a dark black “tar.” There’s certainly something for everyone in this new collection, loaded with unique, abstract crosses, tribal triangles and creative designs such as tar rabbit feet and chain bracelets. The spike auger, conus imperialis and cypraea shells are unique and perfect for this beach season to wear around your neck, while the “black cave” necklaces are perfect for wearing out on the town (the designs come in black and white.)

Versace is noted for its audacious designs in various lines including clothing, sunglasses, handbags, fragrances and even furnishings. Their handbags are deemed to be the masterpiece of the cutting edge and adored by high-profile celebrities worldwide. Handbags aside however, I feel as though no one gives enough recognition to Versace’s jewelry line.

Versace’s current jewelry collection is exquisite. If you are a diamond lover, you will love Versace’s jewelry with diamonds coated in its pieces. Their jewelry comes in a variety of different styles with 12 differently themed collections. The Medusa line has its pieces set in white and black diamonds in swirls of intricate designs (I love it!) The Atelier collection has many pieces with rose gold, which gives a more elegant and sophisticated look. Versace’s elegance rings have been really popular this season, especially since big statement rings are so in right now. The rings come in white and yellow gold set in white diamonds, with gemstones such as green amethyst and rose sapphires. The coloring of Versace’s jewelry is very unique with an array of gems in pinks and blue hues. If you love pendants, the Fendra collection has a great black pearl pendant with white gold diamonds that would look great dressing up or down.

All types of people love Christian Audigier's designs. You've seen Ed Hardy fashions everywhere, but I bet you haven't noticed his jewelry. For one, jewelry isn't as noticable as a shirt covered in metallic-printed skulls. If you're an Ed Hardy fan, you'll love his line of jewelry.
