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!

Now that we have talked a little bit about why this type of jewelry is so bad – let’s dive on into another piece of Christmas jewelry that does not look the best but really is not all that bad … sort of.  This is actually a pair of earrings and while I am all for cute pieces of jewelry, this looks a little too cute.

Also – what would you wear these earrings with?  A hideous sweater at a hideous sweater party?  That is probably what I am guessing but why waste your money?  Christmas-themed jewelry and clothing is something that I have never been a fan of.  There are better ways to spread your Christmas cheer than fashioning yourself down.

So remember – cutesy things like this are not fashionable and I can tell you that they do not look good … on anyone!

Jewelry is something that is not only fashionable most of the time but also something that is personal.  I have to say however that right around Christmas time, some of the most hideous pieces of jewelry is brought out – and that is what we are going to cover in the next couple blogs. 

There is a standard in which most people follow when they are picking out jewelry and around Christmas time that standard seems to go down.  Christmas jewelry is terrible most of the time – like these pins for example.  These pins are the perfect example of jewelry that you should not be wearing.

First off – these pins do not go with anything at all and second, they are only good for one time of year and nothing else.  That does not make sense to spend your money on them!  More Christmas jewelry in the next blog.

Freshwater seed pearls are actually strung together on this 2 ¾ (7cm) choker with an extension chain that can be adjusted to fit all sorts of neck sizes.  The hard is actually a touch of the rare Welsh gold – as usually that can really only be found in all of the Clogau collections.

The greatest thing?  This little beauty is on sale!  £300 is the price, which is actually one hundred off!  You should absolutely jump on this deal!

It is encrusted with 18ct rose hold berries and the vines actually represent all sorts of new life forms that intertwine from old to new … and they create some beautiful lines.  The pattern goes throughout the ring and can be seen from all angles and inside the yellow gold are thirty-three brilliantly cut diamonds.

The cool thing about Clogau is that they actually use rare Welsh gold that actually gives rings like this one the beautiful and natural … and uniqueness that not a lot of other brands can do.

Jewelry is something that should be special and that is how I view the brand new collection from Susan Wong — Castaway Jewelry.  Her vision is something that I absolutely agree with and she is basing this particular collection around treasures lost at sea … and that is exactly the inspiration behind this particular necklace!  The pyrite and sand dollar necklace are two things that are definitely sea-worthy and look amazing on.

Susan Wong, just a little background on her is actually a self-taught jeweler, which is something that I respect very much as I am a self-taught … a lot of things actually.  She started making jewelry early on and has just released Castaway Jewelry which is a collection that she is very, very proud of.

With good reason too! This chick is on the high-rise and she will definitely be gaining a lot of business from me … you can bet on that!

Julinda’s jewelry is something that is bold, brilliant and something that is very different than any other pieces that you might have seen in the past.  Personally, I have been proud of my Julinda Chia Morgan Jewelry since I brought it – whether you are looking for rings or necklaces or even bracelets – Julinda has you covered in every way possible!

So do not be scared … if you want fine jewelry, Julinda Chia Morgan Jewelry is going to be the jewelry that you want to take advantage of!

The question is, is her jewelry any good?  Would you want to wear it?  Well, it has to be said that Ms. Spelling’s (also known as Mrs. McDermott’s) jewelry line, available primarily through the Home Shopping Network, is pretty cool.

I really like this particular piece, the Simulated Pearl and Black Enamel Necklace. It features dangling accents of branches and petals with a gold toned chain and black satin ribbon.

Want something trendy that you can actually afford? Well, Tori may actually be able to help you.

It mixes trendy pieces which make strong statements with classic and elegant accents and gems, making for one of a kind designs — as you can clearly see here. After all, there are definitely reasons for her pieces being featured in Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Elle, The New York Times, and Lucky.

The choker is made with a beautiful antique bronze thread and it is accented with two stunning strands of translucent rhinestones. It is eighteen inches and typically available for only $220.

She was inspired for this new line of rune jewelry when she went on a visit to mystic Iceland and, there, took to the stories describing the Nordic runes and their ancient powers.

The fact that rune is actually derived from “runa,” a word that used to mean a mystery or a secret, shows itself quite well in her new collection.

Specifically, the collection revolves around five main runes — Good Luck, Good Health, Peace, Protection, and Love. They are depicted in myriad ways, some involving silver, others using diamonds and 14k gold. Whatever the case, however, they are not only beautiful but will surely invite good fortune and prosperity.
