Greece
has become the new capital of jewelry designing with a flood of modern jewelry designers
creating exquisitely designed modern fine jewelry for the world fashion crowd. Gone
are the days when only serpentine cuffs and gold coins would be the hallmark of
Greek jewelry. The designers are crafting modern pieces with unmatched designing
glory to wow the world. A dwindling economy instead of killing the interest and
resources of jewelry designers have propelled their ideas and thoughts and their
will to create some masterpieces that the world takes note of. Some designers are
of the opinion that crisis is the mother of all invention and so also jewelry.
Capturing
the ‘phoenix rising from the ashes’ spirit is a collection of jewelry items with
minimalist gold designs set with small diamonds. The culture and heritage of Greece
can be glimpsed through these jewelry items with modern twist for the jewelry aficionado.
The Modern Greek jewelry designers are endeavoring to leave their own mark by
drawing upon the earlier traditions of jewelry making in Greece. This ensures that
the jewelry items remain Greek in spirit and yet appear progressive to the eyes
of the modern jewelry fan. All their jewelry pieces appeared in the Baselworld for
modern buyers.
The Greek
Village collection in the Baselworld is assimilation of natural elements like rough
gemstones or stingray skin into sculptural jewelry. All the jewelry pieces reflect
Greek effect in color combinations, geometric shapes and the seamless blend of
it all. All the Greek jewelry items reflect various aspects of Greece in a modified
manner. Some of the effects are visible at first glance while others are not. For
example, in the multi-colored gemstone ring set in yellow gold Greek effect is predominant.
The architectural cuff made from black and rose gold with brilliant cut
diamonds is a masterpiece which the Greek designers can boast off. It has a
profound effect on the onlooker and leaves the person mesmerized.
Whereas
the previous two pieces are Greek in their appearance, the gold ring set with tourmaline
quartz and rutile wrapping the entire finger looks absolutely sleek with its modern
charming design. Women who are fond of bold designs will definitely like the white
diamond and emerald earrings in pronounced geometrical shapes somewhat resembling
missiles. A wonderful brown diamond, emerald baguette, lapis lazuli necklace will
complement any ensemble flawlessly and the gold ring set with pave diamonds and
three labradorites will enchant the onlooker deeply.
