Multimeda and Ornamented Pendants and Necklaces

Multimedia and huge ornamentation is part of the jewelry trend this year. Pendants incorporating all kinds of materials as well as neckales covering the complete neck line is so in right now. The amazing thing about this trend is that value really does not matter and creativity is a huge plus! Materials like feathers, huge man-made stones, rhinestones and other recycled materials can often be used to create amazing and inexpensive pieces..

Ornamented and Bold Bracelets

This trend initially started a while ago with Louis Vuitton launch of his embellished bangles and in 2010 the trend started heating up as more and more designers dove into the thick and heavy bracelets. Another splash that influenced this trend is also the OC housewives of 2010 where Lynne Curtis's line of bangles and cuffs were featured over and over again. The trend is now full on and it is time to really grab a bold bracelet that will make a statement for the fashion year of 2011.

Fabric Covered and Textured Jewelry
