New York–The “Eco-Chic Jeweler Awards,” a new awards program to honor green-minded exhibitors, will be held at the upcoming JA New York Winter Show, taking place Feb. 28-March 2 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.

Intended to give recognition to designers and manufacturers whose work reflects environmentally conscious materials or processes–and also holds overall design aesthetic and appeal–the program will honor three winning pieces. The winners will be selected in the following three categories: eco-friendly bridal, green innovation and ethical luxury.

The bridal category award will be given to the designer or manufacturer deemed to have the best “green” bridal design. Entries may include women’s engagement rings and men’s and women’s wedding bands.

The green innovation category will focus on applicants’ use of sustainable materials and techniques, and a winner will be chosen for having the most innovative green design and new ideas.

Finally, the ethical luxury award will be presented to the most over-the-top, eco-friendly design, which demonstrates that fine jewelry can be luxurious as well as ethical and eco-minded.

The three winning pieces will be displayed at the JA New York Winter Show’s New Product Gallery.

The Eco-Chic Jeweler Awards join a number of additional JA New York Show programs and areas at the Javits Center in New York City, including the Designer Showcase and designLAB, intended to highlight innovative and exciting designers.

bib necklace

If you are looking for a necklace as the centerpiece to your outfit or to simply present a more upscale look to your wardrobe, the bib necklaces seen on the runways this year will do just that. Whereas layering your single strand necklaces has long been a popular look, bib necklaces are a bit more on the statement piece side.

We’ve previously mentioned our love for design sisters, Danielle and Jodie Synder, and DANNIJO continues to hold our hearts when it comes to bib necklackes. Their Etta necklace not only incorporates the bib look, but includes metal, which is another hot jewelry trend for 2010 (as opposed to this year’s “crafty necklaces.”)

A more intricately designed bib necklace from Banana Republic may also be up your alley. I love the ribbon closure and stones in this design. It is also a very affordable $125.

What do you think of the bib necklace trend? Too gaudy? Or simply spectacular!!  (You know what I think!  YEAA!!)

2010wedding

In the current economy, it’s not surprising to see wedding trends moving in a budget friendly direction for 2010. Among the top trends predicted to be hot for 2010 weddings there are a number of budget friendly trends you’re going to love!

Intimate Backyard Weddings:

In a trend that brings to mind the wedding at the end of “In Her Shoes” with Cameron Diaz, many 2010 brides are opting for elegant, intimate weddings in their own backyards. This growing trends is extremely budget friendly for obvious reasons: no location fees, smaller guest lists and a more casual menu allow for a much more affordable affair. If you don’t have a great backyard – consider the yard of a close friend or family member. A local park may be the next best thing. Brides opting for this style of wedding need to keep the weather in mind and make sure to have a foul-weather back up plan.

DIY Wedding Favors

DIY Brides are going to love the return of personal, handmade wedding favors. While handmade wedding favors may be a time consuming option, 2010 brides appreciate the savings and their guests appreciate the personalize sentiment.

Mismatched Bridesmaids Dresses

The perfectly matched group of maids is a thing of the past. Brides are opting for mismatched styles in a number of different ways. Some brides are choosing to allow their bridesmaids the freedom to choose dresses they love (at prices they pick) by simply providing a color guideline. Other brides are choosing to outfit their maids in a variety of colors that compliment each other. Patterned styles are also popular, as are combinations of patterns and solids. Why is this budget friendly? This allows your and your bridesmaids to shop at smaller boutiques and shops that wouldn’t generally be considered bridesmaid gown shops.

Statement Jewelry

2010 brides want to make a statement but without the cost. One great way brides are choosing to do this is with bright, bold statement jewelry. Statement jewelry pieces don’t have to be expensive: bright colored beaded necklaces are huge this year – and a lot less costly the pearls or diamonds. What kind of wedding jewelry will be popular in 2010?

Nearby Destination Weddings

Brides who love the idea of a destination wedding are turning to more affordable options closer to home. This may be a local beach, a bed and breakfast or a small local resort where the couple can have their dream destination wedding without the travel expenses.

Meaning Over Materialism

Over all, as we adjust to the changing economy, brides are beginning to adjust their priorities. 2010 weddings will concentrate more on the meaning of the even rather then the materialism. As brides look for ways to cut costs, they will also be looking for special ways to convey the true meaning of the event. Many brides are choosing to concentrate more on the why rather then the how.
