RAPAPORT… Classically elegant or frisky fun, fringe is a fashion favorite as 1970s influences rule the runways. Fringe has been a part of fashion for the past 3,000 years, when this decorative adornment to apparel was first used in Mesopotamia. It has been the inspiration for jewelry designers throughout history and always has a place with the style-conscious woman. One thing is for sure — swingy fringe jewelry shimmering in diamonds is forever chic.
