The Spring 2008 fashion jewelry trends are all about “pop”.
Wondering what to wear with your trendy neon shirtdress or bold
black and white safari print skirt? Don’t be afraid to continue
the trend with a pop of color and style in your jewelry. The
following are the top five ways to pop up your style this
season.
#1 Compliment Your Color Palette: Bright colors are in this
Spring. From fluorescent yellow to neon green, Spring 2008
fashion has put a sophisticated twist on the colors made popular
in the 80’s. But, don’t break out your old lace gloves and
rubber bracelets just yet. The modern “Material Girl” knows this
Spring’s fashion jewelry trends are all about complimenting the
outfit not overpowering it.
#2 Know When Less Color Is More: When wearing a solid bright
color, pick jewelry in more minimal colors. For example, wear a
soft orange colored pair of earrings with your neon orange
dress. Gold and silver tones are also great to do this. Add a
pop of style with the size of the jewelry pieces you choose. Add
a chunky bracelet, a large fleur-de-lis necklace, or big hoop
earrings.
#3 Pop Not Peacock: Multicolored prints are also in this year.
It is not necessary to represent every color of your outfit in
the jewelry you wear. Instead, choose jewelry that pulls out one
color from the print. It is recommended that you pick a color
that is less prevalent. This technique is a subtle way to draw
the eye to both your outfit and your accessories.
#4 The Little Black Dress With A Kick: Black and white is
considered the “new black” this season. Don’t make a mistake
and think that you can only wear black and white accessories.
After all, you don’t want to look like you stepped out of an old
black and white movie. Add a pop to your look with brightly
colored accessories. It’s amazing how a thick red bangle, a
yellow choker, or a bright blue (yes, I said blue) pair of
earrings can bring depth to a monochrome outfit. The trick is to
pick one bright color and wear it sparingly. This fashion
jewelry trend is fun and glamorous.
#5 Don’t Go Overboard: It is possible that you may find a great
chunky jewelry set with a necklace, earrings, ring and bracelet.
Although you may love all four pieces, try not to wear them all
at once. Instead, pick one or two (depending on the size)
jewelry pieces that will bring attention to your or your
outfit’s best feature. If you are wearing a sleeveless halter
dress, stack on the bracelets or a ring. Want to add emphasis to
your neckline, put on a necklace.
Mixing and matching pieces is fine. Just make sure you don’t go
overboard with the same size, color, or style. Wearing too much
pop can turn you from a fashion jewelry trend setting diva, to
grandma with each extra item you put on. Remember, the goal is
to compliment your new Spring look, not distract from it.

adding the right earrings. You can bring out your softer
feminine side, the sexy goddess, or present simple charm,
sophistication, or elegance. For both men and women, today
earrings are a definite fashion statement.
Earrings have been a part of human culture since 3000 BC. In
past times, earrings actually established your position in
society, because only royalty and very wealthy were able to
afford expensive jewelry. Fine jewelry was worn by only the
wealthy. The rest of the population also wore earrings to
decorate their body, but they were replicas of high society
jewelry.
There are many styles of earrings. There are quite literally
thousands of choices. There is an earring style for every
personality. Fine jewelry remains popular with precious stones
such as sapphire and emeralds. Semi precious stones are also
very popular. But even more popular are the costume jewelry
earrings. These are affordable, look great, and are great for
staying trendy and in style.
From dangles, to chandeliers, to droplets, to hoops, to studs.
The choices and styles are never ending. If you don’t have
pierced ears, no worries! These days there is a terrific
selection or clip on earrings available. You can be dazzling,
subtle, glamorous, sexy. You can be highly refined,
professional, high classed, or fun and funky, and trendy!
You can never have enough earrings. Your earrings can add the
finishing touches your outfit. Change your earrings and you can
change the entire appearance of your look. Think about that
little black dress you own. Add a pair of sapphire studs and
you’ll be highly refined. Add a pair of large chandelier
rhinestones and you’ll be Hollywood glamour. Add a pair of wood
dangles, and a pair of flip flops and you’ll look fun and funky.
Add a pair of red button earrings with a red bead necklace and
you’ll be “so sexy.”
It’s amazing what a pair of earrings can do to your look! So
keep a good selection of earrings on hand to meet all your
fashion needs. Earrings are the most important wardrobe
accessory you can own. You’ll get great value from your
earrings. Choose earrings that meet your life style, your
personality, and your tastes. There is no point in buying a pair
of trendy earrings that you’ll never wear because they don’t
feel like “you.”
Earrings also make a great gift as they can be very
personalized. Choose a style to meet their personality. From
gemstones to beads, you can spend a little or you can spend a
lot. The gift recipient will be thrilled that you were so
thoughtful as to buy such a personal gift.

room to the beach. Be sure people remember who you are. It’s

Sterling silver is an excellent choice in estate jewelry. Long
lasting, easy to care for, and so beautiful. Buying estate
jewelry sterling silver can be a lot of fun but it can also be
confusing.
Whether you are looking at sterling silver for a gift for that
special someone or looking to add to your own jewelry to make
that fashion statement, it’s important you understand the terms
that are used throughout the industry. Once you understand the
terminology you will be better equipped to choose quality pieces
of sterling silver jewelry and you’ll be able to complete your
purchases with a lot more confidence.
It doesn’t matter whether you are buying on line or at your
local store. It doesn’t matter if you are buying in the USA or
Canada or in Europe or China. The terminology used to describe
silver are the same around the world.
Sterling silver jewelry has always been popular and remains so
today. Sterling silver estate jewelry has also shared it’s time
in the limelight but in recent years its popularity has
exploded. That’s because buyers are looking for something a
little more unique than modern sterling silver can offer.
Everyone knows how beautiful sterling silver is and how durable
it is, that’s one of the reasons it’s such a popular choice. And
of course let’s not forget how affordable it is!
Silver has it history into ancient times, but has not survived
as well as gold. Unlike gold which has no ill effects from age
and exposure sterling silver does. It deteriorates over time.
Throughout history sterling silver has experienced bursts of
popularity where it was far more vogue than wearing gold
jewelry. Today is one of those periods in time!
Silver is the most common of all the precious metals. Fine
silver is pure silver but it not commonly used for jewelry
because it is way too soft and bends and breaks far too easily.
Instead fine silver is mixed with copper. 925 parts of silver
are mixed with 75 parts of copper which is just enough copper to
firm up the silver to make beautiful jewelry. This 925 grade is
called sterling silver throughout the world and is recognized as
the purest form of silver available for jewelry.
This is the mark you are looking for. Either that or the actual
sterling mark. Both will guarantee you that what you are buying
is sterling silver and not some cheap base metal like nickel
which will wear and look awful very quickly.
Silver has many benefits over gold. It is much lighter weighing
about half as much as gold. It is much more flexible but not as
malleable so it allows for beautiful jewelry creations. Lastly
it is much less expensive yet it will last you your lifetime and
probably those of a couple of more generations. Two exact pieces
one in silver and one in gold. The gold piece will cost 5 to 6
times more than the sterling silver piece.
Current fashion trends which include a lot of black or dark
materials have added to the popularity of sterling silver as it
looks very well with black. In fact it has much more of a
dramatic impact than gold does.
Silver likes to be worn. It helps keep it shiny and beautiful.
Left hanging for any length of time means you’ll need to polish
it to remove the tarnish. In our fast paced world silver is an
excellent choice. Just as we have wash and wear clothing silver
is an excellent grab and wear style of jewelry.
So the next time you are in the market for some quality
sterling silver jewelry be sure to check out estate silver
jewelry!
