Geometrically patterned openwork designs have been popular for many years. Designers emphasized white gold and diamonds for many years. However we see a drastic shift in the last couple of years. New executions look very different. They are more curvy , more colorful, lighter, organic, have ethnic inspirations. We see more yellow gold than white gold in the last two years. Instead of diamonds we see different, rare but inexpensive colorful stones such as tourmalines, opal, moonstones, coral, agate, garnets, quartz. We see a lot of white stones such as opal, white coral, white moonstone and white agate embedded into rich yellow gold and hammered gold.
