Fashion Jewelry - Considering This Year's Trends

If there may be one particular gift that's guaranteed to make any woman smile and that's fashion jewelry.

The news from the International Trend Jewelry & Accessory show, where trend jewelry designers meet with buyers in the world's biggest department and jewelry stores, is that current style jewelry trends are way different from previous years.

Latest Style Jewelry Necklace Trends

Big is in! And that's what the current trend jewelry chunky necklace designs are all about. Big metal birds, big flowers, big beads, big rocks and big stones.

And turquoise, both faux and genuine, is clicking in Hollywood and wherever fashion-minded women gather to see and be seen. The same is true for ancient Egyptian-style royalty necklaces with big fringes of matte gold-plated beads.

Here's What's New In Manner Jewelry Earrings

Long is what the fashion jewelry designers say is hot for earrings this year. Look for chandeliers with lots of precious and semi-precious stones including garnet, blood-red rubies, and topaz. Swarovski Crystal is also in big demand, and not just for earrings.

European wire earrings, especially in sterling silver, are enjoying a renaissance as well. They are especially attractive when accompanied by a necklace made from big crystal-cut glass beads string on rhodium plated chains with Swarovski Crystal in-between the larger stones.

And fine filigree genuine and gold-plated lacy weaves, in big teardrop shapes, are back again after a several year hiatus.

Fashion Jewelry Bracelets Are Big. REALLY Big

Bangle bracelets are back in a big way for 2010. Fashion jewelry experts predict that lavender, rose and hot red-colored stones will be seen on the most fashionable women's bracelets, along with filigree metal designs and combo manner jewelry bracelets made from metal, beads and stones.

Huge smoky-colored chunky glass stones, interwoven with colorful glass and sterling silver beads drew a lot of attention at the show from fashion jewelry buyers representing the big store in NY, Chicago, and LA.

Mother of Pearl is making a big comeback as well, especially when matched with faux pearls. And keep your eyes open for genuine coral beaded bracelets mixed in with irregular shaped chunks of colorful acrylic beads.

And the surprise hit of the season has to be the black and white enameled bracelets, in clunky geometric styles, paired with matching earrings and necklaces.

Retro Fashion Jewelry Revival!

Your grandmother would be thrilled to know that trend jewelry broaches are back. Well, maybe not the old-time ones like she wore, but enameled flowers mounted on gold-plated pin-backs are hot, as are gold-plated birds with metal or feathery plumage.

Keeping Your Fingers In Style Jewelry

Cocktail rings are timeless, and this year is certainly no exception. What's different, however, is that "big" has made it to the finger as well. Look for clunky brightly-colored stones, both solitaries and clusters, as well as cluster rings made from faux black and white pearls.

When it comes to this year's fashion jewelry -- if it stands out and makes a statement, it's trendy!
