Wednesday Wants. MEG Spring 2011 Earrings

Women's fashion is a constant circle, always pulling from the past. Styles of clothing influence many other aspects of dress including the accessories. That's where we come in...but... a little history first!

Earrings became must more popular in the 16th century when women's dress allowed it. Meaning, the high collars on women's dress disappeared and they wore their hair up more. This change allowed earrings to be a focal point on a woman. The girandole earring appeared mid 1600's and was laden with gems and stones. It was so heavy, it wore the ear lobes down!

The girandole earring is an inspiration for earrings we see today. The September issue of InStyle had a great article of lacey earrings. Chandelier drops and openwork give an intricate spin with an elegant touch. As new designs for our MEG Jewelry Spring 2011 line materialize, we are right on point.

Bringing this full circle, we introduce two new earrings for MEG Jewelry Spring 2011 line. These earrings feature an openwork base that is accented with Swarovski crystals and fresh water pearls. A elegant addition to any bride's ensemble!
