Every new year brings new styles, lines and trends in the world of jewelry. Many of which never see the light of day, but some go on to become wildly popular, even if only for a season or two. The key to deciphering what’s hot and what’s not is to marry your personal style with a fashion-forward design that speaks to who you are as an individual. Diamond jewelry allows you to do this in a Here are 3 jewelry trends for 2010: way that many other accessories do not.
Customizable Diamond Charm Bracelet
Yes, charm bracelets have been around for quite some time now, so why would interest peak this year as opposed to any other? It’s all about individuality. A charm bracelet out the box is nothing more than a manufacturer or designer telling you who they think you should be. The ability to customize a charm bracelet is you telling the world who you know you are. Diamond charms add a touch of elegance and luxury to a previously teen-driven jewelry trend.
Diamond Key Pendant
Last year, key jewelry made a big splash. This year, diamond key jewelry will make a bigger splash, especially during Valentine’s Day 2010. The key, no pun intended, will be to find diamond keys that are uniquely designed with diamonds. Again, diamonds are what separate a luxurious key pendant from an average one. The higher the carat weight the more precious the pendant. Also, different gold colors will help make your key pendant standout from others. Look for pink gold key pendants as an alternative to the standard white or yellow gold.
Diamond Love Knot Jewelry
Another budding 2009 trend that is poised to be bigger in 2010 are diamond love knots. Again, the key is uniqueness. Look for love knot bangles and other items that you can buy as a set. Coordinating these jewelry items will give your look some versatility and set you apart from someone who dons just one piece. Different gold colors are another important part of this trend, and some designers are creating new styles of love knot jewelry that are very unique.
Work with these three trends for now and make sure you do plenty of homework. In a few weeks, you will want to start dropping some Valentine’s Day gift hints to your significant other, so don’t wait too long to start researching both online jewelry stores as well as your local jewelers. With any luck, you will find the perfect piece(s) to add to your jewelry collection.
