Part of the fun of summer is wearing the season's new colors
in clothing and jewelry. Summer 2008 is no exception. This season's jewelry
trends perfectly complement summer's exciting hot picks in clothing wear.
Anything blue makes both a bold and cool statement this
summer. Blue topaz and aquamarine are hot trends for the season, as well as
beaded necklaces, turquoise bracelets, and blue sapphire rings. The versatility
of blue jewelry allows it to be matched with neutrals, black, and more colorful
fashions. Fashionistas will also find blue jade, moonstones, lapis lazuli a
charming choice.
A fun alternative to diamonds, cubic zirconia is combined
beautifully with sterling silver, creating the look of white gold or platinum.
Zirconia and sterling silver lend a sophisticated look that can be instantly
dressed up or down. Paired with a pretty sun dress or a white polo, the look is
nouveau riche without busting the budget. Sterling silver continues to make its
mark for those who want to achieve a special look and it's much more affordable
than gold or platinum.
This is the year for celestially-inspired jewelry with
multi-chain necklaces and bracelets adorned with moon and stars charms. For
something really unique, consider a crescent moon-shaped necklace for a look
that's all "goddess". In addition, zodiac pendants in gold, silver
and even diamonds are a popular choice.
Greek- and Latin-inspired jewelry will carry through summer
into fall fashions as well. Choose from black onyx, black diamonds or classic
black pearls for a look that is always in style. Think layers when choosing
jewelry and look for necklaces and bracelets with unusual small shapes paired
over larger pieces of silver, copper or gold.
Drawing inspiration from the Italian classics, combinations of gold and
black find their way into oversized links and chains. Enameled bracelets and
necklaces are another fashionable choice.
For a more modern look, choose from plastic and enamel
bangles in bright solid colors and safari prints, as well as bold shapes. The
style gives a boost to everyday wear and is a fun and budget-conscious choice.
Colors come in fuchsia, purple, turquoise, yellow, black, white, and every
other imaginable color.
Safari and tribal jewelry are also making exotic statements
during the summer of 2008. Tribal styles draw inspiration from Native America
Indian, East India and ancient Mayan cultures.
Especially attractive with this season's fashions, jewelry wearers can choose
from turquoise, coral, resin and other beaded pieces. Wooden bangles,
animal-print bracelets, and amber necklaces are some of the hottest trends in
2008 jewelry. The style is great for both casual and formal wear. Another
exotic look can be achieved with this season's layered tropical necklaces in
reds, turquoise, and purples in varying shapes of beads.
When selecting charms and pendants, color is key for the
summer of 2008. Bright and bold bead jewelry makes a dramatic statement. Choose
a beautiful chain adorned with a large pendant or gemstone charm in energizing
reds or eco-friendly greens.
Since summer is a favorite season for brides, jewelry with
traditional heart pendants in titanium and diamonds are in vogue. The price and
look of titanium makes a popular choice for many brides. The cool tones of
titanium and tungsten jewelry create a charming touch for the bride on her
special day. For the bridegroom, tungsten carbide watches, and tungsten and
titanium rings provide a bold and classic look. Brides are also free to express
their individuality with splashes of color in their bridal jewelry. Think blue,
fuchsia, red or green, which are great choices for the bridesmaids. Bouquet
jewelry is also a stunning trend that features crystals or crystal letters in
the wedding bouquet or in wedding centerpieces.
