 It is our pleasure to introduce laser-cut silhouette designs from Pebeta Teta, a cool, conversation starting, and earthy mix of eye-catching jewelry.  Also included in our debut of these Argentine designs are a throwback to the 1980's with a Ms. Pacman inspired mirror finish brooch. More pins are available in this collection such as the big rose and bee brooch.
 We met designer Sol Maria Zwierzynski Sudak at her showroom and got a behind the scenes peek into what motivates the designer and drives the flow of the art form for her. We asked how the silhouettes in nature came about and the solid color of black resin for these designs. In her own words:
"Los colores de los collares son todos negros porque al tener tanta forma, cada uno de los modelos parecia que era bueno mantener una tranquilidad, una sobriedad de cada modelo para que se vea bien la forma, y que es lo que cuenta, el collar, la historia de el collar, mas que mezclar lo con colores y hacerlo como algo demasiado colorido."
 English translation: "The colors of the necklaces are all black because upon featuring each shape/form, each one of the models showed that it was good to maintain a tranquility, a moderation for each model so that the form would be showcased better, and that is what counts, the necklace, the story of the necklace, more than to mix it with colors and which would be too many colors together".
Our Pebeta Teta designs can be found in our website under the Region "Latin America", more Argentina designers to be featured by mid February. As always, our New Items section features the latest additions to our collections from around the world.  Labels: accessories, argentina, culture, designer, fashion, quotes

From sweet, soft lavender as worn by Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas, to intense, regal plum as showcased by winner Sandra Bullock, this winter friendly color has been the standout hue for 2010 Golden Globe® fashion.

Clary Image: Jane Krakowski, REUTERS/Danny Moloshok Since ancient times, purple has been associated with royalty, on account of the dye used to produce this rich color being extracted from mollusks and therefore expensive. Deep versions of this hue still emit a luxurious elegance.
Our jewelry collections from around the world feature amethyst gemstone, cubic zirconia (CZ), Murano handcrafted glass, and more. Keywords within our website, by using the search box  at the top right of any page at DecoBelle.com, are purple, amethyst, aubergine, and eggplant.

 Since ruffles, tulle, and flowers are the Fall 2009 wedding trends (our bestseller page features the latest popular items), lace filigree jewelry is a perfect pairing to complete this look. Lace provides a delicate, vintage feel.
When elegant beading and intricate dress decoration take center stage in this rustic charm trend, jewelry should be simple, and on a small scale to balance the entire look. Browns, creams, grays, gold, crimson, and deeply rich aubergine shades can give a pop of color in the form of colored gemstones, CZ, or crystal jewelry. Pearls are also a hot trend as the lovely off-white color is perfect for fall. Have any questions or seeking jewelry advice from Deco Belle? Send us an e-mail with your "Ask Deco Belle" questions, and it may be featured in a blog.

 Original article as submitted by Deco Belle for Mocha Bride Magazine Summer 2009:
 As Eartha Kitt sang 1962, “Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend”. But today, crystals and pearls are too! Bring on the bling in clear crystal, or colored gemstones, and cubic zirconia (CZ). Save a considerable sum while being in style for a summer wedding. Rhinestones are out of style, as Swarovski crystals offer fire and brilliance at a low price, with a luxe look.
 Vibrant colors are hot on the catwalks for this season. These intense hues of aqua, lapis, coral, lemon, peach and hot pink are rainbow bright now! Intense blue and aqua jewelry can definitely take care of the adage: Something Old, New, Borrowed, and Blue. Colorful crystals and CZ set in gold or silver offer a dramatic statement for modern gowns, and a striking accent for strapless or skinny-strap dresses.
Dramatic upswept hair lends very well to another hot trend this year, the demure stud earring.
 Studs, or button earrings, are feminine and traditional, and are always in good taste. Larger stud earrings have a vintage charm. The 2009 Oscars showcased this trend as well as the other IT shape for this year: the drop earring. From Michelle Obama (the First Lady is also a major stud earring trendsetter, since official portrait to European visit) to Angelina Jolie, drop earrings, are all the rage.
 A dramatic turn from these trends is lace filigree; it’s the new, old thing. Lace is delicate, darling, and delightful, and makes any dress complete with that traditional, romantic look.
Also, collar or statement necklaces are in right now; be sure to pair with small earrings that grant the focus to the grand necklace.
 Bridesmaids are generally allowed more color, and more drama with both dress choices and accessories. Our global jewelry store at Deco Belle Inc. has often honored requests to send duplicates of certain jewelry items for a bridal party, as the bride often gifts her bridesmaids jewelry that they can use in the wedding, and if it’s fabulous enough, to be worn at various occasions.
Whether you want to accessorize glamour, romance, or modern, there are various ways to implement the spring and summer 2009 trends in your wedding. Wishing you the best on your special day, I hope that these tips will help you stay stylish, without breaking the bank.

 The 81st Annual Academy® awards sparked a fashion trend in these recessionista driven days: The demure stud earring. Sparkly and understated, these small earrings were often paired alone, or with elegantly demure necklaces.Penelope Cruz wore Chopard diamond stud earrings and a platium and diamond necklace (worth more than $2 million!). Most stunning of all was the vintage 1950 Pierre Balmain dress, the Best Actress in a Supporting Role for Vicky Christina Barcelona showcased. Miss Cruz stated "I found this dress eight years ago and I was saving it for something very special." Special indeed!Image: Reuters/Lucas Jackson Natalie Portman, Image: Reuters/Mario Anzuoni Satsuki Mitchell and Daniel Craig, Image: Oscar® Josh Brolin and Diane Lane, Image: Oscar® Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Image: Reuters/Lucas Jackson Angelina Jolie, Image: Reuters/Mario Anzuoni

 For all of our east coast customers who love all things Deco, only two weeks left to experience the Fashioning Kimono exhibition focused on the Art Deco and modern periods of Japan’s national dress. The exhibition includes elegant formal, semi-formal, and casual kimono, as well as haori jackets, and under-kimono attire worn by both men and women, as well as children. When Art Nouveau became fashionable in the late 19th century, it quickly spread to major urban centers in Europe and North America; this new, 'modern' style incorporated diverse sources and artistic traditions, and natural forms with elegant floral forms and scrolling arabesques. (Kimono images courtesy of V&A Museum, London, U.K. - Montgomery Collection)
 Art Nouveau’s flowing lines, clearly visible in these Art Nouveau Carnelian earrings at Deco Belle, rooted in nature, exemplified by flowers, and intertwining of stems and flowers acquiesced perfectly with the Japanese use of natural forms and strong, undulating lines.
This artistic fusion and mutual influence are apparent in the kimonos in the Philadelphia Museum of Art exhibition. Though quintessentially Japanese, the kimono form has influenced fashion designers around the world, Deco Belle jewelry from around the world is glad to feature Art Deco and global styles of fashion. Future dates and museum locations for the Fashioning Kimono art exhibition are as follows: November 15, 2008 - February 15, 2009: Ringling Museum of Art, Florida March 7, 2008 - May 17 Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art, Florida, June 6, 2008- August 16, Tyler Museum of Art, Texas December 4, 2009 - January 10, 2010: Society of the Four Arts, Florida January 30, 2010- April 11: Memorial Art Gallery, New York July 31, 2010 -October 10: Birmingham Museum of Art, Alabama Labels: art/lit/film, deco, fashion

 Congratulations to Emma Fletcher of indie label Lyell, winner of an Ecco Domani Fashion Foundation award. She's been creating Art Deco collections since 2004, her designs have consistently been inspired by nostalgia for the way craftsmanship of times ago, namely that each piece should be made to last with quality fabrics and stitching.
 Hailing from Sydney, this designer used to accompany her mother to antique stores and flea markets, this would make her into a sleeper hit among Hollywood actresses. Fletcher proudly says, "My clothes have always had a vintage feeling, but they've been modernized for fall - it's more grown up".

Luminous Mother of Pearl, Marcasite, Onyx, Abalone, Baltic Amber, Designo by Alan K, Topaz, Garnet, Carnelian, Cubic Zirconia, CZ, Turquoise, Coral, art nouveau, and more retro moderne jewelry at Deco Belle global jewelry at your fingertips!
