Sterling Silver Chain Leather Necklace

Mint is emerging as one of the hottest and most wanted colors this season. Fashion designers have colored the runways in minty clothing collections and we, at Sivani, have decided to keep up with the latest color trend and offer some minty leather necklaces and leather bracelets on our web runway. Luckily for the savvy fashionista, Sivani has created a few limited edition leather necklaces and some long desired leather bracelets that can add a little minty freshness into your wardrobe.

First, there is the sterling silver chain necklace with mint in a beautiful smooth leather. This is a desirable, limited edition necklace that lays long on the chest. It features a structured Italian sterling silver chain, which lends a weighty contrast to the light green leather from which it suspends. The silver has undergone a specialized oxidation process to achieve a metallic shimmer and natural variation.

Minty Chocolate Leather Necklace

The infinity bracelet in mint leather is a delicate piece. Its design is inspired by Silvia Nikolov’s clients.Says the designer herself: “I’ve had so many requests for a bracelet with the infinity symbol, and I finally designed one.” This light and airy bracelet features sterling silver beads made by hand and sources from hill tribes. This bracelet, with its promise of eternal affection, makes a wonderful gift to a loved one or special friend. It comes in a variety of sizes and colors, and includes a stunning sterling silver button clasp for effortless wearability.

The minty chocolate leather necklace is also a limited edition item. Measuring at 28 inches long, it is at once sophisticated and uniquely earthy with its brown and mint color scheme. At the end of the knotted mint leather, delight in the necklace’s finishing touch: three deliriously depth-filled and handmade beads of glass. This item is perfect for wearing by itself, or try it with gold or sterling silver chains.

If you spent any time surfing the web or reading Vogue during Paris Fashion Week, you already know that pastels are the latest fashion trend for this Spring and Summer 2012. Designers from Ralph Lauren on down and buyers at the likes of every woman’s favorite, Anthropologie, have infused their collections with pretty princess pinks, yellows so light they could make a lemonade blush, and, best of all—feminine and airy mint!

The good news is that mint looks great on almost everyone, if you pick the right shade for your skin tone. The other fantastic part of this lovely color being in season is the fun you can have dressing it up and down, and pairing it with other colors. Mint really pops with almost any shade of orange, from a light sherbet down to an almost-brown bronze. Experiment with a floating, minty blouse and tight, dark jeans and sterling silver jewelry by Sivani for a sophisticated look. Or pair a printed top in mint with a pleated, Great-Gatsby-esque skirt in bright white and your favorite wedges for an ultra-girly style.

It’s also fun to let mint take center stage by way of your accessories. Splurge on a pair of oversized sunglasses in this cool shade. A mint leather handbag makes a retro statement with any summer cocktail dress. Or grab a pair of glossy pumps in mint for an instant Wednesday-workday pick-me-up. Mint is also an unexpectedly demure shade for nails this spring: try Essie’s Candy Apple or OPI’s Damone Roberts, 1968. Of course, it goes without saying that Sivani’s minty designs fit well in the fashion trends Spring 2012!
