Trend Watch: Animal-Inspired Jewelry

Posted on April 16, 2015 by Mary Hood | 0 Comments

The Spring 2015 fashion forecast shows a high chance of clever whimsy in just about all the ways you can imagine. We’re particularly tickled by the playful, animal-inspired pieces appearing in both haute couture and street style. Just look at these darling Bamboo Panda Flats!

Especially fun are the animal-inspired jewelry pieces we’ve curated below. There’s a little something for any style, any budget.

While we're on the subject of rabbits, isn't this sterling silver rabbit necklace beautiful? The pendant was created using the "lost-wax casting technique," an ancient method of precision molding.

Thanks to Youtube, cats are having a big moment. ("But when are we not having a moment?" scoffs any cat.) Celebrate our feline friends with these cute ceramic tabby cat earrings.

Thai artist Ying created these delightful sterling silver origami fox post earrings with contrasting polished and brushed finishes, giving these little critters an ultra-modern look.

These brass elephant and deer antler rings are just a few of the fun, animal-inspired offerings at Silverholic on Etsy. At such affordable prices, Silverholic's collection may inspire you to take home a Noah's arc of jewelry! (Think raccoons, snakes, giraffes, and butterflies!)

Gold- or Rhodium-Plated Brass Elephant Rings and Gold-Plated Deer Antler Ring by Silverholic, $9.20 and $8.20

Animal motifs certainly aren't new, especially when it comes to brooches. Brooches are a great way to play with a trend without committing to more substantial investments. Pieces like this 1960's vintage turtle brooch can serve as your link between the fashion of a bygone era and the trends of today. 

1960’s Vintage Turtle Brooch available at BroochesTheSubject, $15.50
