Layering Jewelry and Stacked Bracelets

Do you like the current layering jewelry trend? I personally love it! Stacking up multiple bracelets on one (or both) wrists is a great way to make your outfit instantlly hip. Another great way to update your style for winter 2012? Layer on necklaces, this look is still super hot! I am also seeing celebrities and other fashionistas wearing multiple large cocktail and statement rings.

You ask, "How do I wear layered jewelry?". Well, it's simple, start off with a few pieces, and build from there. If you aren't sure whether your styles go together, keep a few basic keys in mind. First, select colors that coordinate, but don't be too matchy-matchy. Second, add different textures together, this really gives a nice modern finish (pair a little bling with leather and metal). Third, have fun and be confident! You can have the most amazing look in the world, but if you don't rock it with confidence you risk blending in with the rest of the crowd.

Rose Gold - One of Fall 2011's Hottest Trends

Rose gold is undoubtedly one of fall 2011's hottest trends.  I love white gold and silver, but the soft and warm quality of rose gold is a nice change. Adding even one piece of rose gold can bring your look into the new year.

Here I am featuring my Rose Gold & Rose Quartz necklace.  Beautiful, feminine, and luxe. Click on the photo to be taken to my store for purchase information.

How to Wear Statement Jewelry

Many people are intimidated by this trend, because they are unsure how to wear it. However, adding a piece or two can really take your style to the next level!

Wearing statement jewelry is easy, if you know a couple of key elements:

The first is to know how to pair your bold jewelry. For instance, if you wear a large necklace, keep your earrings small (or wear none at all). Pair your statement necklace with a bold cocktail ring instead. Wearing statement earrings? Pair them with a bold bracelet and cocktail ring.

The next is to keep in mind what you are wearing. If you are wearing solid colors with simple necklines, go for a bold and colorful necklace. Wearing something with a detailed neckline, and a lot of texture? Go for a long layered necklace, or just stick with earrings, bracelet, or cocktail ring instead.

Don't be afraid to wear more than one piece of statement jewelry at a time, just don't over do it! If you are still unsure, or intimidated by this trend, start off with one cocktail ring or bib necklace. Most importantly is to find something that speaks to your personality, not just wear something because it's trendy. Jewelry is all about expression, so have fun!
