The Odyssey-inspired Jewelry Trends with Zachary’s Jewelers

like you will. God's don't speak in ways we understand. Who doesn't understand pain? Well, from epic adventures to epic style, the odyssey making its way into the world of jewelry. We are seeing an odyssey inspired. Look, take shape pieces that evoke ancient greek mythology, symbolism in the adventure of the journey itself. Here to show us is Constance Palamu from Zachary's Jewelers. Glad to have you here with us, Constance. Thank you. Thank you for having me. Before we get into all of this with the odyssey jewelry trends, I want to congratulate you because for folks at home, you were the designer of the Miss USA and Miss Team USA crowns this year and made them both this year and last year and some big wins for you guys, right? Yes, we're very excited. It still feels very unreal. Yes, absolutely. And one of our hometown girls, Justice Kelly, of course, winning that too. So really keeping it all local here in the DMV. Let's get into what we're talking here this morning in regards to the odyssey and how that's inspiring trends when it comes to jewelry right now. Absolutely. So I think there's always something in media that inspires our trends. It kind of infiltrates our minds and then we start dressing that way and we don't even realize. So a good example recently would be Bridgerton, right? How whimsical fashion became. We started to see that kind of infiltrate even how people would set their tables. And before that, we had Game of Thrones, which created a huge resurgence in fur. For me right now, I think there's no way that we can ignore what the odyssey is going to do for fashion and jewelry. Here in DC, a lot of our friends, right, are still wearing more traditional office wear. Sure. So I think that's really where jewelry is gonna come in because you're probably not going to wear a toga to the hill. You're probably not lobbying in, you know, a full-blown Greek revival outfit. But you can work it in in your jewelry. And so I selected some pieces today that are clean enough to make an investment in. They're classic enough that you can, you know, safely make an investment in them. But they also still kind of really give you that aesthetic of what we have come to think of for, you know, kind of Greek pieces, Greek goddesses. Like this piece here. I'm loving this piece. This is beautiful. So this is one of our best-selling brands called Marco Biccego. It's actually an Italian designer. But you really see a lot of that Greco-Roman inspiration in his designs. And this piece is really timeless. It's elegant. You can wear it with jeans and a t-shirt. You can wear it under a button-down shirt with a blazer. And it's gonna be great and carry you and give you the confidence of like a Penelope, for example. Right. That, paired with the bracelet, just effortless and classy, but still kind of trendy on par with all of that as well. I'm loving these pieces as well as your earrings, too. Those are fun. Yeah, I think we're gonna see more bold gold. That's a trend that's been brewing. But I think the way that it's going to be interpreted is a little different now that we have this inspiration from the Odyssey. So the earrings that I'm wearing are really large and they have a lot of movement. They might not always be comfortable for a woman who's wearing a suit. And that's where an earring like this comes in, right? Because these are giving you that big, bold look while still keeping it really professional because they don't have a ton of movement. So they're not, you know, it's not like Bengals jingling. People tend to comment on things like that. When you're in a professional space, I hear a lot of my clients, you know, say, I want something bigger and more with more presence. But I still need to keep it professional. Do you feel like this is a trend you'll see and will stay around for a little while? Absolutely. I think this is like, you know, when Elizabeth Taylor was Cleopatra, we saw, you know, an Egyptian revival for decades after that. Um, and I think that this is, this is our Elizabeth Taylor's version of Cleopatra. I love that. Awesome. Well, I know you've got a few other pieces here, but we are out of time. So can you tell me where people can find more information? I know you have great pieces over at Zachary's Taylor's Zachary's Jewelers as well as your other store too. Absolutely. You can find me and all of this beautiful jewelry at Zachary's Jewelers dot com or on social media at Zachary's Jewelers. Awesome. Mickey, I'll send it over to you. In the meantime, I'm gonna take a peek at some of these beautiful pieces here. There's some gorgeous pieces of jewelry. Thanks Jacqueline.
