My friend is always complaining that she has no idea what kind of jewelry is in style at the moment. She says that she's tired of always wearing outdated jewelry pieces and wants to catch onto a style while it's still actually trending. If you're anything like her, you'll want to be up to date on all the latest jewelry news.
While it wasn't easy, I managed to track down and summarize some of the biggest pieces at the moment for 2011. These jewelry pieces have been seen all over the latest red carpet affairs and runways. If these aren't the current trend at the moment, I don't know what is. Take a look for yourself!
As always, bold statements are in style at the moment. This means that all jewelry that leaves an impact big are small; are at the center of attention. If you want to take advantage of this, keep your eye out on anything huge, colorful, and unusual. The goal is to have something that will linger in memories; you'll definitely know what I'm talking about when you see it.
What about all metal jewelry? If you haven't checked it out before, do so now! The jewelry trend is to take advantage of the way all metal pieces look with various outfits. They are lightweight, often yellow and sometimes white. The pieces are highly structured, giving an irregular but classic look.
Similar to bold statement jewelry, strong motif jewelry is making a splash in 2011. There are some people trying to mix elements of nature with plain jewelry pieces. The biggest example is with animals such as birds, elephants and snakes. The mood of the outfit centers on the motif jewelry.
For those that don't know, fringe is an ornamental appendage to the border of an item. For those that do know, you'll be surprised to find that the look has moved from decorating clothing and purses to jewelry. Surprisingly, it doesn't look bad at all.
As always, charm bracelets are still in style. They are probably the simplest pieces to have around, but also the safest. Certain looks require certain finesse to pull off, but charm bracelets are perfect for anyone looking for a little flair.
If you want to take on a trend for yourself, be sure to still exercise some creativity! Make the style yours by adding a little bit of your own individuality to it. If you don't you won't stand out, and what's the point of blending in? Show everyone you can be up to date on style but still look fantastic! Jessica Y
