By far, three basic trends can be observed from an overview of the development of fashion design of pearl jewelry. They are clear and succinct style, returning to nature and traditional decoration. It can be seen that current fashion has departed quite drastically from tradition. Since late last century, profound changes have taken place in people's outlook on the concept of modern life. However, quite a number of traditional fashion elements are still able to be read from new trends in pearl jewelry design.

Clear and succinct style

Pearl jewelry of simple, clear and succinct tone is gaining increasing favor from customers. This because a sentiment of pursuing the inner beauty and the meaning of matter is set to people again, and need to express bysimplified form. Then streamline and geometric figures from great architectural works like pyramid, marble buildings, arch bridges and so on just bring out such sort of simple style.

Traditionally, the size and quantity of pearls were symbol of wealth, power and dignity. Meanwhile, designers were constantly trying to make a piece of pearl jewelry for formal occasion look 'heavy' for the wearers. As time required, innovative elements were introduced and incorporated into pearl jewelry design. Thus a clear and succinct style is borrowed to cater for special demands. Consequently, a plain, lively but clever and graceful look is created for pearl jewelry pieces.

Returning to Nature

Urban dwellers are search of the tranquility of nature in their ideal life. This can be reflected in the way they choose a pearl jewelry. Due to the rapid development of urbanization, metals, concrete and plastics now characterize a modern city. The hectic, artificial city seems to be cold and lifeless in people's eyes of its inhabitants. Environmental pollution, traffic noise, lack of green space and living space has left people greatly depressed. It is little wonder people are looking forward to going back to nature. But they are hindered by the quick-paced and immense pressure of life. As a result, natural things fill in the gap and meet such yearning demand. The vivid figure of living creatures from nature such as animals and plants become the sources of inspiration for pearl jewelry designers.

Traditional decoration

Since pearl jewelry products are thought to be works of fine arts and crafts, some traditional artistic features have been frequently employed to express memorization or yearning in design ideas of pearl jewelry. It is important that they are made to reproduce or reflect the images of ancient Roman relics, Gothic buildings, Chinese carved stone arch bridges, prehistoric totems and even the motives of primitive people in Stone Age. Then more often, pearl jewelry pieces available now look like just a make of old or ancient goods. So there comes a style of traditional decoration.

Indeed, history is priceless heritage. Many valuable things, as features of arts and lifestyles created by our forebears at different ages are still being used, appreciated and admired today. They are linking points of long human civilization. Again, human beings rely heavily on past experiences to deal with contemporary issues, and plan for the future. Pearl jewelry design is no exception.
