Jewelry Trends 2012- Balenciaga Jewelry

With so many jewelry trends this summer, there is no shortage of choices. Styles and colors are not limited and offer opportunities for personalized interpretations. Anyone can wear this season’s jewelry trends by borrowing some of the elements from each trend and making it personal. Tribal patterns and Navajo symbols are two hot jewelry trends forecasted to remain in fashion long after the summer. Women want to wear current jewelry styles in the office, but must adhere to strict dress codes. For example, bold tribal patterns and symbols found on a wooden bangle may not be appropriate for the office. However, scaling down the same symbols and placing them on a smaller cuff make them office friendly for casual dress down days.

Everything Neon

Neon is the color of the season and used in earrings, bracelets, and necklaces. These bright colors are fun and vibrant for this summer's color trend. Because neon is a shade and not just a color, there is plenty of room for individuality and wearers have a full palette of neon colors to choose. Of all the jewelry trends for this summer, jewelry in neon colors can make any outfit pop. Whether an outfit is white or black, a few pieces of neon jewelry will change it from drab to fab. A traditional color such as teal transforms when it is in neon.

Tropical Influence

Think Hawaiian shirts with hibiscus flowers, palm trees, toucan birds, and tropical fruit for another one of the hottest jewelry trends of the season. Fun resin fruit jewelry with pumped up primary colors in neon are on bracelet charms, pendants, and earrings. Have fun wearing a fruit basket of apples, bananas, oranges, and pineapples in materials like resin or painted wood. To complete the look, accent these fun pieces with shiny or antique platings.

Mixed Media

Metal takes a backseat this season with cord, fabric, and leather when it comes to the trendiest accessories. According to the fashion experts, a friendship bracelet is one of the biggest jewelry trends for this season. Whether this bracelet is braided, studded, woven, or wrapped, make sure to wear it in one of the bright colors. In addition to color, add tassels to earrings, bracelets, and necklaces to mimic fringes seen on the latest designer clothing and accessories. The message is to play and experiment with the different textures, styles, and colors for a unique look.

Back to the 80’s

This is one of the only jewelry trends that go back to such an infamous and memorable decade. It was a time of fun with lightheartedness and jewelry designs were no exception. Basic shapes were sharp, angular lines like triangles and squares. Try wearing a stack of acrylic or resin star shaped bracelets in neon colors. In addition to color, some of the hottest shapes this season are bows, crosses, and hearts. Stay on top of the fashion trend by going back to the 80s when wearing spikes and shiny hard plastic jewelry were all the rage.

Crystals

These beautifully faceted jewels are also trendy in neon, clear, and black as shown on the runways of top designers. Glass, resin, and stone made into necklaces with long brightly colored cords on pendants are hot. Make sure the settings and accents are shiny plated metal. Incorporate these stones into a bib necklace design or wear them with woven accents.

Make a jewelry fashion statement with splashes of neon or wear fun tropical shapes. In short, the fashion trends for this summer are fun, bright, and have plenty of style for any one at any age to enjoy.

Hot Jewelry Trends - Lighter Chains With Stones For A Layered Effect

Jewelry can make or break the look of an outfit and add polish to wardrobe pieces. The jewelry trends for 2012 combine several style options for jewelry wearers. This year's jewelry styles are a mix of classic pieces and trends from the past year. Color and texture are important elements of the latest trends in jewelry.

Styles

Feather accents dangling from earrings and necklaces give the jewelry pieces sexual appeal and an sense of playfulness.

The addition of fringe is an example of how treatments relate to trends. Many of the top designers are including fringes on accessories and jewelry on the runway. Fringes give flat, one-dimensional jewelry movement.

One way to show off a statement piece is wearing a choker. Adding a semiprecious stone or bold and chunky beads are simple additions to a choker but make translate into a fashion statement.

Although chains are sometimes associated with negative stereotypes, featuring them as the focal point of a necklace is one of the hottest jewelry trends in 2012. Lighter and heavier chains along with different types of metals layer for an individually styled piece.

Another trend is stacking a number of bracelets and bangles with varying weights. An example of trendy stacking includes gold or silver bangles with heavier wood bracelets.

Statement pieces of jewelry are like a complementing hairstyle, and statement earrings give an outfit pop and enhance the features of the wearer's facial features.

Color Trends

Whatever the fashion trend, color plays an important role in translating fashion. The same style from a previous season gets a new lease on life because of a change in color. One of the hottest jewelry trends this year is neon hues. Materials take on different attributes with the use of color. For summer and spring, the color coral appears softer mixed with other colors like white or brighter if it has added neon hues.

Designer Trends Loose Bead Necklaces Wood Rings

Going Organic

Tribal and ethnic elements are hot trends in jewelry. Designers have incorporated these elements when showing their line of clothing. Bracelets, necklaces and rings made of wood or other natural materials have an organic feel. Fashion designer Michael Kors used an animal tooth necklace to complement his clothing designs.

Jewelry Length

Longer bracelets, earrings and necklaces are on the fashion runways this year. Dangling earrings, often referred to as chandelier earrings, are one of the year’s biggest fashion statements. Oscar de la Renta and Prada chose chandelier earrings with the addition of flower forms. A super long necklace made of chain can loop around the neck to look like several necklaces of varying lengths. These lengthy necklaces wrap around the wrist and give a stacked appearance of several bracelets. For one of the latest trends, add more bracelets on top of the wrapped chain bracelet.

Chokers

The new choker is more feminine than the old single wire with a hanging pendant. Now choker designs are sophisticated jewelry pieces. Additionally, the new chokers are more flexible and made with chains, leather cord or woven ribbon. Designs are not limited to singular pendants and include clusters of beads or collections of other design elements.

Make new trends in jewelry personal by repurposing an accessory into another jewelry item. For instance, reviving an old pair of earrings with the addition of feathers easily recycles them. A neck chain looped around the wrist becomes a trendy bracelet or using it as a unique hair ornament. Jewelry is not limited to wearing around the neck or wrist and adding it to another accessory makes personal styling simple. Old boots get an instant fashion update with a chain wrapped around the ankle of each boot. Add a few charms to the boot chains and they become walking billboards for personal style.

Jewelry trends for 2012 are easy ways for changing the look of an outfit quickly. Dress up or dress down a look with different jewelry. A simple white dress shirt immediately appears fashionable by wearing a few chosen pieces from the jewelry trends of 2012. With so many new jewelry trends, there are choices for every age and style preference. The key is to find a focal piece of jewelry, own it and make it your personal style.
