Necklaces in general are a fantastic way to tie together an outfit and to truly make a fashion statement and honest, I think that white gold is definitely the best out of all of the metals out there.  If you are a blonde, white gold is actually a better option for you, as it will not wash you out at all.

Now that you know some of the trends that are coming up for 2010, make sure that you take advantage of them!  These trends are absolutely fantastic and will help you make all of those fashion statements!

This year is going to be the biggest year for colored diamonds.  In the past, diamonds were things that were colorless, but now – colored diamonds are making a huge statement and I can tell you for sure that I love this particular trend!  Not only are they beautiful but they can truly go with any outfit.

However – one thing to be aware of whenever you are looking to purchase some colored diamonds is the fact that these diamonds are extremely expensive – so make sure you are ready to flip the bill!

As mentioned in the previous blog, Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and I can tell you for sure that your lady is going to be looking for jewelry that is certainly of the latest trends and this is it.  Natural and raw stones that are hanging on a chain.

While these are just two examples of what natural stones look like, there are a ton of different colors available and you can wear them with pretty much anything!

This bracelet for example, expensive but it is a great way to show her that you are serious about her and that you love her.  While I am not particularly a gold person, I can definitely relate to this particular piece as I think that it is breathtakingly beautiful.

Guys, it is almost Valentine’s Day, I think that you need to not drop the ball and make sure that you get your girl a present!

Simmons Jewelry can make that happen. Working around that charming old adage, “Find a penny, pick it up, and all day long, you’ll have good luck” (mind, I realize that colloquially, this chant likely changes from place to place — but I grew up with that version!), there are now Penny Pendants.

Sort of like a more fashionable take on the old penny loafers, these pendants have a brand new, brightly shining penny set right into a lovely sterling silver pendant — and there is a whole complete line of them!

Who ever thought copper and silver could look so great together?

There is something beseeching and poignant about the way these carved bodies cling to one another to create designs.

For the most part, it seems, this collection — called “Stories” — is done up in 18k gold, occasionally with gemstones acting as accents.

The carved gold silhouettes definitely do tell a story. This is jewelry that actually means something, and that is truly rare these days. When you find pieces like these, you have to appreciate them — and hold onto them if you have one.

But anyway, let me climb down off my soapbox and leave the pedestal free for something that actually belongs there: this stunning Rhinestone Cluster Necklace by Armani Exchange.

Rhinestones most definitely make a statement, and these rhinestones make a particular one. This ornate necklaces features faceted beans and stones in a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors, along with fringe accents dangling from the clusters. The fringe is comprised of little chains as well as small black rhinestones.

Erica Anenberg, creator of this gorgeous Silver Infinity Bracelet, definitely seems to realize the meanings of — and behind — the sign.

The pendant that comprises the chief idea of the bracelet is a bright, bold, and lustrous silver. It contrasts beautifully with the likewise red strands which loop around to create the bracelet. They are made out of a luxurious suede.

The bracelet is seven inches in length and closes with the help of a durable lobster claw clasp, plated in silver as well.

At some retailers, you can find this bracelet for less than one hundred dollars. What a deal!

They are the Gold Peridot Stud Earrings, but they are definitely the most luxurious and stylish studs that I have ever seen, incorporating both the dazzling green gemstone and diamonds in a gorgeous gold setting.

Gabriel Ofiesh has been creating innovations in form, movement, and color for no less than thirty years. The pieces are simple but elegant, classic but extremely, impressively versatile.

Within his jewelry — as you can see in these earrings — you will find a lot of sinuous curves, a lot of simple but stylish forms, and a lot of graceful surfaces: the makings of truly timeless pieces of jewelry.

I have reviewed a lot of pieces of jewelry since I began writing for this blog, and I have never, ever seen a piece quite like this one — nor have I come across any piece of jewelry that has struck me in quite the same way.

This is the Bijules Curved Bar Ring, from Bijules NYC Jewelry. This particular jewelry company is well known for producing incredibly unique, one of a kind pieces, and with this ring, it is easy to see why it came by that reputation.

Classified as a variation on a them, the ring circles only one finger but it slopes and curves over the wearer’s entire hand. It is like a stylish interpretation of brass knuckles — definitely a piece for someone with the killer instinct!
