We are not advocating for this much bling at one time, however there are certain trends in jewelry that are big for the summer and we don’t want you to miss out on those.
This summer is all about the big and bold for jewelry. Statement pieces, which many thought would be done after 2008, have grown in popularity. There are many great necklaces, earrings, and bracelets out there right now to suit the statement that you want to make. Diving into the world of statement jewelry requires some searching however, because there are both good, bad, and some downright nasty pieces. The final trick with statement jewelry is knowing how to wear it. It has the name statement piece for a reason. Make sure to downplay the rest of your jewelry or go without other pieces, also make sure the clothing isn’t too embellished or the look you think is right on for the summer might miss the mark.
Bangles and cuffs are back, also. They range in size from forearm size pieces to thin bands and everything in between. One of the positives about this look is the versatility of it. Many small bands on one arm is just as fashionable as one large band or cuff alone. People are also doing large bands together on one arm, just playing with the material or color of the bands. However you want to wear it, the importance of this trend is personalizing it to your style and taste.

Nature inspired jewelry is also big this year. Whether it is nature embodied in the stone of the piece or an animal portrayed, nature is present in this seasons jewelry. Wooden jewelry isn’t as popular this season, so you can put that away, however bring out the jade, coral, and jasper! The variety of these pieces is extraordinary. It ranges from simple stud earrings to the statement pieces discussed earlier. This goes perfect with the animal print suits that have made a rise this year, also!
The final thing you should consider when going out to buy your summer jewelry is gold. The combination of gold and white is white hot this year! It looks classy and allows you an alternative for those more upscale functions you may have to attend. This is a great look for all those summer weddings, we can’t promise that you won’t overshadow the bride with this hot look though! For those that are more a fan of silver you know how the trends last, maybe next summer will be your year!
