More Spring Fashion Trends

I subscribe to a newsletter on style and fashion. Yes, my daughter would find that very hard to believe. In any case, today's edition had a link to Spring/Summer jewelry trends. Apparently "statement" jewelry is the thing (and is most likely going to be the thing for Fall/Winter as well). Look for geometric shapes, exotic pieces, and anything with rich colors, prominent stones or colorful gems.

Even more interesting about this trend... was the idea that matching these larger-than-life pieces with bold and colorful clothing is the way to go. Last season it was about having the jewelry be big and bold and the star of the outfit. This year -- it's about being as interesting as possible. The term "clashing colors" was even used (that might not be something I can do, but I can follow the trend in other ways).

The fun part about this trend... the pieces shown in the article were designer-made, but looked like less expensive pieces I've seen in the stores. So - you can go expensive or you can have fun with the trend and not pay as much. Better yet, look to local jewelry craftsmen for their take on this fun look.
