Amanda’s Style File: Fit to be Tied
Flowing curves, wave-like movement and delicate wrapping are three characteristics that define these pieces of ribbon-esque jewelry.
This 14-karat rose gold and diamond bow ring from Stuller is soft and feminine ($1,476).
Flowing curves, wave-like movement and delicate wrapping are three characteristics that define this “ribbon” jewelry trend. Soft, flowing lines give these pieces of jewelry a sense of movement.
Like the three characteristics, there are also three distinct levels of this trend, which begins with loose waves (picture a dancer’s ribbon). The levels evolve to more defined wrapping, with styles that surround a stone or appear to wrap around the body.
Bows are a pretty and feminine--albeit a bit more structured--final level of the ribbon trend.
Here are a just a few stand-out examples of this style to explore.
