Fashion seems to be heating up as the economy turns the corner. Designs of diamond jewels are nestled in gold settings again, despite the price factor. It could have something to do with the metallic tones showing up in fashion wear too. Out with the bold and back to the ultra feminine. You’ll see ruffles and a variety of chandelier drop earrings. Contrasting colors are showing also with hot yellow sometimes matched up with electric blues. That requires jewelry that can also grab some colorful attention. Denim is always in style, although some years more than others. Just because one wears denim doesn’t mean you can’t wear jewelry, in fact, it’s the best way to add a little class to your spring outfit. Along with the return to the feminine is the idea that less is more. Understated elegance is back and your jewelry should be classy, but not too brassy.
Gold
Here’s hoping you didn’t sell off all your gold jewelry during the recession because this metal never goes out of style. It may sometimes take a back seat to platinum or white gold, but when it comes back, it comes back strong. As prices on the gold market fluctuate, and some prices drop, get back into the gold jewelry market and stock up again. Gold has always been the symbol of royalty and luxury and is a very good metal for jewelry. It’s hypoallergenic, and it’s easy for jewelers to work into intricate patterns. It’s also a precious metal, making it ideal for fine jewelry.
Feeling Girly
Get out the ruffles and lace. Go through your jewelry box for the jewelry that gives you that sensual, girly, feel. Any design that romantic and vintage will go great with this look. Chandelier earrings that were statement pieces before become more demure and lady-like.
Color Contrasts
Get a few pieces with contrasting gemstones. Yellow diamonds and amethyst are an awesome combination and can stand up to a variety of spring color combinations. Topaz and emeralds can also help to add color to your spring wardrobe. Jewelry with multiple stones of different color will be the best choice for a wardrobe that is blaring with pretty colors this spring. White diamonds can be put together with semi-precious stones for a look that can compete with this spring’s wardrobe, not just in color, but sparkle too.
Got to Love Your Jeans
Jeans are sexy, let’s face it. They may have come on the fashion scene because of the depression and the need for sturdy, all-cotton, clothing that wore a long time, but they are an awesome fashion statement too. You can dress them up with pearls, for an elegant look. You can make them punk with a few pins and a studded belt. You can have a casual girl-next-door thing going by adding that feminine and demure jewelry that’s popular this season. No matter your mood, denim jeans are a great anytime fashion statement that go well with just about anything in your jewelry box.
