Age-old Chinese philosophy brought us the concept of yin-yang, the notion that opposing forces collaborate to create and sustain harmony. In fashion, as in life, opposites attract: Light and Dark. Heaven and Hell. Kris Kardashian and Bruce Jenner. And, of course, black and white, a color combo that is equal parts modern and eternal.
When it comes to jewelry, there is often no better combo than those stark opposites the Chinese favor, like this Yin Yang Bracelet by Seraphina. For a more traditional black and white wrist look, check out Blu Bijoux’s Stretch Bangle Bracelet or Carolee’s elegant DNA strand of a pearl bracelet. These pieces run the gamut from casual, daily wear to formal occasions. The constancy is black and white, a trend that is perpetually in style.
For a classy, modern neck piece, Seraphina has crafted a lovely Gold and Black CZ necklace, which is classic enough for everyday wear and wonderfully versatile since black and white go with everything. If you’re a fan, check out their equally stunning matching earrings.
Blu Bijoux has really been rocking the black and white trend lately, especially with this striking Bubble Bib Necklace. Black and white combo pieces can add touches of sophistication and timelessness to any ensemble, but can also help ground a louder ensemble. Imagine a little red dress with these showstopping, tribal-themed Black Enamel and Silver Arrowhead Earrings. Poof! Effortless elegance in a totally exciting way.
One of the best parts of the black and white trend is the wide breadth of jewelry materials you can sport. Pair edgy black onyx with classic diamonds (or cubic zirconias) for a look that is both cool and ultra-glam. Blossom Box got it right with their Gatsby Ring.
When in accessory doubt, remember: opposites attract. Just ask the Kardashians.
