2009 Jewelry Trends

Unlike past seasons where minimalist clothes demanded that one goes sans jewelry, this seasons looks are best highlighted with statement pieces. Timeless pieces that turn heads and go with simple clothes in black, or rich colors. Hey, you can even wear with spring and summer’s lightweight dresses to add oomph to your look.

Jewelry with movement and texture are very in. Lots of jingly bangles are making a sexy statement, too, and a stack of them makes a lovely bridesmaid gift.

Interesting trends in jewelry metals have made their way from Europe to the States. Soft and pretty rose gold is catching on here, and brings a blushing glow to bridal jewelry. And from Italy, the next evolution is a new gold alloy in a warm brown shade called “chocolate gold.” Cutting-edge and breathtaking, this cocoa jewelry makes a striking backdrop to colors, and adds a burnished dimension to wedding whites and creams. There are even cultured chocolate pearls to match!—simply yummy!



Forget dainty and delicate—today’s jewelry is getting larger, with fresh combos and bold new presentations. Here’s a snapshot of what’s in store for the year ahead:

1. Trend #1 Stunning Necklaces

The best thing about these imitations is that they are very affordable. You could dress like a millionairess even if you are on a tight budget. Just accessorize your new gown or little black dress with an absolutely stunning necklace

Crystals are everywhere in the full spectrum of color. What better way to bring life to a structured dress with little detail than to accessorize it with brightly colored rocks. Especially dazzling stones around your neck.

2. Trend #2 Cuff Bracelets

Cuff bracelets are statement jewels that turn a simple sheathe into a stunning outfit. Your little black sleeveless dress or strapless gown looks even more amazing with the addition of a single cuff bracelet. They are timeless classics that are hot every season, which makes them excellent investments.

One statement accessory is enough. A small collection of statement jewelry is all you need to create your signature look. Wear one item at a time with your favorite dress. A change of accessories freshens your look instantly.
