Amanda’s Style File: Fashion Show Finds
This week’s Style File features 11 pieces of jewelry worn down the runway at last week’s Jewelers of America Fashion Show held at AGS Conclave.
These earrings by LJ West Diamonds featuring Argyle diamonds set in platinum were in the fashion spotlight last week when they were worn down the runway at JA’s Fashion Show at Conclave.
The lights, models, music and clothing captivated the audience at the Jewelers of America Fashion Show held last Wednesday at American Gem Society Conclave.
However, they did not hold a candle to the incredible jewelry that was showcased on the runway.
Emeralds and diamonds dominated as the top trend while sapphires, yellow gold and pearls kept the jewelry diverse.
Wide cuffs, double drop earrings, collar necklaces, oversized diamond rings, and bold pendants are what make this an Amanda’s Style File exclusive. Here are just a few selections from the show.
AG Gems’ 18-karat white and rose gold earrings featuring four cushion-cut Ceylon pink sapphires and four cushion-cut Ceylon blue sapphires accented by 22 F VS round brilliant-cut diamonds ($18,000)
