As most know, the jewelry styles available in the stores is directly related to much of what is seen on the red carpet and runways.
The 1920s have made their way back in a big way, probably in part to the success of TV series like Boardwalk Empire. Flapper dresses are being added to designer's collections as are drop garnet earrings, feathers and brooches. Look for geometric and Art Deco designs in rhinestones and precious stones for earrings, bracelets and even headpieces. Flower motifs are also big with this trend in jewelry.
Chandelier earrings are back, but in a more modest size, shape and design. Look for smaller designs with glass beads, Swarovski crystals, gemstones and natural materials like wood beads.
Actually, it's Tangerine Tango - the Pantone Color for 2012. It's already made its way unto the runway in the form of lipstick color, hair bands, shoes and of course, matching jewelry. Citrine and fire opals are two of the hot gemstones that are being featured in this trend.
For prom, for brides and for special nights out, hair jewelry is a popular trend right now. Everything from rhinestone studded headbands and barrettes to tiaras are making their way to stores near you.
Neoprene (often favored by the beach-going crowd) is a trending material for cute and whimsical bracelets, watches and pendants. You'll even find portable USB drives that are shaped like tiny characters.
