The days of demure, dainty jewelry are long behind us. Big, bold and daring is still the way to go with certain pieces. Other pieces are being scaled down for more refined looks. With the cost of gold at record highs, silver handmade jewelry allows you to rock today’s hottest fashion without breaking your budget.
Consumers have been cautious about spending too much on material things outside of the bare necessities. However, they still have the desire to splurge or treat themselves every once in a while. If you don’t have money to buy a whole new closet’s worth of clothes for spring, a few new pieces of silver handcrafted jewelry can wake up your wardrobe for a fraction of the cost.
This season, trends are moving away from one big statement necklace and moving toward wearing multiple necklaces of different sizes, widths and links to create personalized looks. And buying several sterling silver necklaces is far more practical than putting down for multiple gold necklaces. That could set you back quite a bit financially. Mixing metals is another option. By putting gold, silver and bronze together you can be at the forefront of fashion.
If you buried your chandelier earrings in the bottom of your jewelry box, break them back out again. They’re back in a big way. And if you missed that trend the first time around, treat yourself to a pair of cascading silver earrings for a feminine and chic look. Bust out those giant hoop earrings, too. When it comes to earrings this season, bigger is better.
It’s also time to get creative with your gemstones. It’s not just about diamonds, rubies, sapphires and emeralds. Expand your collection with uncommon but stunning stones. Look for things like garnet, tourmaline and quartz, which all come in a rainbow of colors and look beautiful set in silver. Pearls are also going to be seen everywhere. Classic and elegant, pearls aren’t just lily white anymore either. Natural pearls come in various colors from exotic Tahitian pearls to the luxurious South Sea pearls. Treated pearls come in any color you can think of.
