Chain jewelry, the most stylish accessory of the 80's is back. Chain jewelry consists of gold, silver or multi-colored necklaces, bracelets and anklets, bulky and heavy pieces such as in the Gianfranco Ferre collection, or light and elegant pieces commonly found in antique jewelry.
The steel or plastic chains are widely used as a decoration for summer foot-wear and hand bags. Chains are often supplemented with a variety of charms. Pearls still play a main role in many important chain jewelry collections. The most popular are long overhanging links with round or pear-shaped pearls.
Butterflies, spheres and flowers are becoming the basic motif for designers. They can be made completely from metal, a metal-stone combination or made entirely of stones.
The end result is feminine and always original. White gold chain jewelry is still very popular, especially when set with large diamonds, sapphires and multicolored gems.
