Fashion Jewelry Trends for Spring 2011

Seasons change and so does fashion. Professional jewelry designers are not the only ones who look forward to the challenge and excitement new seasons bring to their jewelry collection. With the arrival of new seasons, fashion jewelry lovers have the opportunity to reinvent a look, create a new one, or simply explore other styles in accessorizing with fashion jewelry. Spring is quickly approaching and jewelry fanatics will be the first ones to clamor for the latest styles in fashion jewelry. Here are the trends professional jewelry makers predict will take over this spring season.

Spring is all about color, so suffice to say it’s important to have a colorful palette that will redefine and make your look stand out. The subtle differences in the colors you choose in fashion jewelry are extremely important to create that exceptional finish. This year, experts predict that shades of black/white, blue/green, brown/coral, and white on white will be strong for spring. Mixing up different hues will create new looks. Look forward to pairing your outfit with a rich mix of tones, finishes, and textures. For example, fashion jewelry with a variety of hues mixed with different textures such as matte, opaque, metallic, or transparent are perfect for the spring season.

For the brown/coral shade, women can accessorize with animal-inspired fashion jewelry. Maximize the animal pattern trends with snakes in purple and jet crystal, butterflies infused with ultra-chic Austrian crystals, starfish embellished with pearls, dragonflies with multicolor CZ stones, and other cute but adorable animals featured on fashionable cocktail rings. Other animals designed on fashion jewelry are frogs, foxes, panthers, ladybugs, and elephants – unique, but certainly eye-catching.

Epoxy and enamel are also huge this spring. Epoxy is perfect for fashion jewelry because it can add bright colors without being too expensive. Epoxy fashion jewelry includes cocktail rings accentuated with sapphire/siam/peridot epoxy with a sterling silver finish. Eternity rings look elegant in light amethyst/pink epoxy too, while necklaces fashioned in epoxy are really striking and attractive.

Bangles and bracelets are in and women need to select fashion jewelry that adds boldness to their wrists. Accentuate wrists with bracelets and bangles created from various sets of color, metal, charms, pearls, and textures for a dramatic finish. Earrings this season should exude an air of lightness with a splash of color.

Finally, silver tone fashion jewelry is the hottest trend for spring 2011. Consumers are purchasing more sterling silver fashion jewelry not only because of the “look of silver” but also because of its affordability. Sterling silver is polished, simple, and elegant.

Remember, when choosing a certain look for spring, it should reflect who you really are. It should bring out your personality and not conceal it. What perfect time to play around with different styles and colors than spring?
