Color on the Block

Color Blocking is everywhere you turn this year and will no doubt stay around into the next. Countless runway looks have been inspired with color blocking details. Dresses, pantsuits, and dressy tops..but do you accessorize? Why not?

Here are some of our favorite color block runway looks paired with different JewelMak styles.

Texture and color blocking together creates movement in an otherwise basic ensemble. This Alberta Ferretti dress has both neutrals and bold color, which match well with JewelMak's carnelian stretch bracelets and faceted bezel earrings in 14k yellow gold.


Having fun with your colors is key. This sequined number from DKNY is already festive. For the wild child, pair it with multi colored bangles(seen above: dyed agate bangles by Jewelmak) or be bold with a statement piece like JewelMak's 8 row tiered white pearls necklace. Complimenting the dress with simple and light earrings (like these faceted pink chalcedony bezel drops) to keep the look fresh and the dress as the focal point.


Derek Lam has combined prints with color blocking into a fun piece for the office that could easily transition to evening. Accentuate the color with JewelMak's bold stretch agate bracelets or pay subtle tribute with these stackable jade rings. Go the other way and add to the mix with a statement bib necklace in sterling silver.


Color blocking does not necessarily mean bright colors. This Jil Sander dress is a prime example of how neutrals and muted tones can be just as vibrant when blocked well. Match with equally muted styles like the gray tones of Jewelmak's stretch agate bracelet or its lace agate earring. JewelMak's new stretch charm bracelets offer an elegant addition to the stackable trend.

Your accessories and jewelry can also be the color blocked subjects of your outfit. Wear your favorite jeans and basic tees with a stack of colored bangles or statement necklaces. Below, find some other color blocking styles for everyday wear:

For the adventurous, mix and match with JewelMak's vibrant gemstone studs. Also works great if you have multiple ear piercings.

However you put together your color basics, remember to HAVE FUN!

What Happens in Vegas...

Attendance this year at JCK Las Vegas was up 16% according to JCK Events staff. The venue was much nicer this year, which may have been a draw, but did the increased number of attendance make a difference for vendors and guests? We want to know about your experience navigating the new show set up.

JewelMak has set up a very quick survey to hear your thoughts and opinions on the show organization and also, of course, how you felt about JewelMak's place at the show.

Bead & Stretch: Exclusive First Look!

JewelMak has been having a love affair with stretch bracelets lately and, like any enthusiast, would like to share the latest news with YOU! The foray into stretch bracelets began with more natural, raw and vibrantly colored styles of gemstones and agate. Those bracelets prompted the mini "Who Needs Gold" series last month:


JewelMak has now taken it to the next level with its latest collection of stretch bracelets. Sourced from Italy, the new stretch bracelets are created with a series of mixed materials with Mother of Pearl, gold beads, and gold plated silver.

The petite medallion coin charm dangles from each bracelet with an effortlessly stylish ease. When wearing one or even stacked, you will notice the warmth of the gold color combined with mother of pearl creates an air of romance and who doesn't love a bit of romance?

Why shouldn't your jewelry get in on that trend? JewelMak is introducing their new collection of styles made in Fossilized Mammoth Ivory. A great color at a great price!

All of JewelMak's fossilized mammoth ivory pieces will be on display at the JCK Las Vegas show. Only a week away! Appointments are available to get the best viewing and discounts!
