| Oscar de la Renta, Fall 2011 RTW |
I've been hearing a lot of jewelry trend talk throughout New York Fashion Week about a
return to 'opulence' for Fall 2011, but I had yet to see it with my own eyes.
Until the Oscar de la Renta show.

FINALLY! Jewelry that isn't afraid of its own shadow.
Long, drop earrings in gemstone hues mixed with shoulder dusters styles that could head straight to the red carpet.

Mr. de la Renta loves himself a brooch, and the season's stand-out silhouette - bows - brought the sentiment to life beautifully for this collection.

And then there's the classic beaded necklace for a little ring around the collar glam.

But Oscar de la Renta isn't the only designer throwing caution and carats to the wind this season. Anna Sui is always game for some fun finger flavor.

And Proenza Shouler and Isaac Mizrahi both chose sculptural statment necklaces in black and white to accessorize their lines.

I think I'm having a Dorothy moment. The ho-hum days of
prairie-wear and pearl strands from earlier shows have just transformed into a technicolor treasure chest of jewels that would make even Glinda blush.
Sure
, there's no place like home. But there are no ruby slippers there either.
