From Now On…

Big, Bold Cuff bangles, huge bangle Bracelets are one of the hottest trends this year and always varied, that’s good news for the longevity of most wrist jewelry we buy.

Spring 2010 will see bracelets become big, oversized, chunky and heavy, metal bracelets in gold, silver and black, embellished with big stones. Colorful plastic bracelets and bangles are also in trend.

Making a statement this season couldn’t be easier with the various bracelets and bangles available. Make you’re statement this spring by wearing a bracelet that everyone will be raving about.

There are a little secrets I really want to tell you girls……

- Classy and chunky pearl necklace is great for dressed up evening out!

- There is something so nice about lilac and silver together!

- A man can get a lot of imagine if you are wearing long (enougt) necklage..

- The design with gorgeous lilac polymer clay flowers is really make the piece something unigue to cherish!

- Gold and Silver is the best color for a party…..try it and let see who is the most sexy girl in a party!

Gold and silver are the two colors which never out of date, compared to other colors.

I prefer the spring and summer bracelet collection which launched by Juicy Couture last year, they looked very atmospheric, at the same time, they are not as heavy as the traditional gold and silver bracelets, and they still show the style of urban women. Juicy Couture is a fashion brand of the American, the brand becomes famous, this is greatly due to the reporters, and the reporters often photograph the popular stars. They found that many were wearing Juicy Couture’s clothes or wearing the Juicy Couture’s jewelries, Juicy Couture was so famous!!!

Natural styles include simple cotton ropes. These can be accented with small metallic bars, loops and clasps. But cotton, although popular, is by far not the only natural material in use for men’s bracelets. Perhaps longer in use would be the leather straps that can be worn on the wrist or higher on the arm over the biceps. This style is popular with super hero types. But, we digress.

Let’s get back to men’s bracelets. All kinds of nylon and plastic can be worn as well. The rubber-like bands sometimes worn signify support for a cause. These are inexpensive to make and distribute and can be a great way to get the word out.  But when it comes to men’s jewelry, the most popular are the metal types. Sterling silver with semi-precious stones, and solid gold less often with stones.

Solid copper and silver with leather is a nice choice. Simple bracelets with beads of all sizes is also easy to find. Some with colorful beads and others with more earth tones.  Men more often go for the earth tones to stay understated. Another popular choice of materials for bracelets is stainless steel.

Many men consider their wristwatch as a sort of bracelet but, don’t make this mistake unless your watch is quite fashionable. If it isn’t, sometimes it is better to go to formal occasions without the watch. Wear a simple bracelet instead.

With a suit, often it is better to go with a more classy style of bracelet. Instead of wearing a bracelet that you may like, feel comfortable in, or are just used to, think about how it looks for the occasion and with your outfit. Often, it is better to take off the inappropriate bracelet and wear nothing on your wrist instead of something that just doesn’t match your outfit or the occasion.

Better yet, go shopping for bracelets, so you have something to wear on special occasions. Think about what kinds of events you are often invited to. Think about what kinds of outfits you’ll be wearing. Wear the same outfit while bracelet shopping, if possible.

When it comes to bracelets, there are so many choices. Some have meaning, some are just a habit and for comfort and others are like a new tie. To be picked carefully so they look good.

There are different types of antique jewelry. The most common ones are estate antique jewelry, Victorian, Edwardian, Art deco and Art nouveau.

Antique jewelry is unrivaled every sense of the word – it will never be out of style and will be a perpetual piece in everyone’s jewelry box.

Art Deco..

 
Edwardian…..

Victorian….

Costume jewelry can also be called: fashion jewelry or even ‘fake’ jewelry. It was designed to be inexpensive jewelry that anyone could wear. Costume jewelry originated in the 1930s as a cheap, disposable accessory meant to be worn with a specific outfit. In contrast with expensive pieces with solid gold and precious stones, costume jewelry is made of less valuable materials including base metals, glass, plastic, and synthetic stones.

Originally, costume or fashion jewelry was made of inexpensive simulated gemstones, such as rhinestones or lucite, set in pewter, silver, nickel or brass. Modern costume jewelry incorporates a wide range of materials. High end crystals, cubic zirconia simulated diamonds, and some semi-precious stones are used in place of precious stones. Metals include gold- or silver-plated brass, and sometimes vermeil or sterling silver. Lower-priced jewelry may still use gold plating over pewter, nickel or other metals; items made in countries outside the United States may contain lead. Some pieces incorporate plastic, acrylic, leather or wood.

So, shop around for some costume jewelry if you haven’t yet. It adds flash and style to so many outfits and most of all, a healthy bit of fun!

There are so many more choices today even than when your mother got married. Take your time and make choices that fit you. After all, you’re only going to do this once!

You have choices of: rhinestones, diamonds, Cubic Zirconia (CZ), Swarovski crystals, Austrian crystals, and more.

Start with your favorite piece, whether it’s a necklace, tiara, bracelet, earrings or something else. Something you just fall in love with defines your taste. If it’s right for your gown, then build around it with the rest of your choices. There are so many options out there – you won’t need to compromise.

If you’re one of the bridesmaids, you’ll do well to compliment and follow the bride. Of course be sure to be understated when compared with her choices – it’s her day, not yours – yet.

Not sure what works with your gown?

Compliment a white gown with white pearls and silver. Off white looks good with ivory pearls or light gold or silver. A champagne gown looks best with dark ivory/champagne and gold accents. Clear stones can work with all colors, but make sure they don’t get lost in the background. Jewelry that can’t be seen often needn’t be worn at all.

Some more Tips

There are no hard and fast rules here. Each person is so unique – that’s what makes dressing up for this occasion so much fun!

Simple dresses with deep necklines allow larger necklaces.

Pearls are traditionally safe, but be picky and don’t use them as an easy solution. Do they actually fit well?

Gowns with high necklines allow no necklace or a colorful choice. If no necklace is chosen, the earrings become instantly more important.

What pattern is used in your dress? Is it fine detail? Is there no detail? You will do well to compliment – usually by copying – the overall patterns found on your dress. Elaborate or ornate dresses usually call for complex patterns in your jewelry. As: ‘the simple calls for simple’.

Remember to make sure your hairstyle and veil work well with the jewelry, and vice-versa.

Be sure your earrings are a compliment to your necklace and not trying to make a different statement.

Bracelets are more often than not unneeded. If you choose to wear one, be sure it does not draw attention from the dress.

Gloves make a different statement than a bracelet.

If you are a bridesmaid and the Bride has selected your jewelry set, all the better.

If you are the Bride selecting what will be worn, consider the following.

Remember to start with your dress and style, then think about how your bridesmaids can be best accentuated.

Consider what colors they are wearing or what standards you have set. You may even want to try out with each of them what will work best both in the context of your wedding and what works best for them and their appearance.

You’ll do better by considering each of their complexions and body types and helping them to look their best as opposed to making them all look the same.

With your Wedding Jewelry carefully chosen and your Bridesmaids each looking stunning, you’ll have a happy and beautiful wedding party. Now, what about the groom?
