Jewelry Trend Report - Leaves and Feathers
Shopping today for fall and every where I turned: feathers and leaves. Not just long feather earrings any more...now every jewelry case in every store has metal leaves earrings, sparkling feather necklaces, huge flower-y, leaf-y bracelets and the list goes on. Everywhere.
Feathers and leaves have been a jewelry design staple for decades, you can find all sorts of great vintage pieces to mix in with your new trendy jewelry.
