Jewellery fashion trends
Jewellery fashions are constantly changing but the following have stayed the course over the last few years and you should be safe with these:
Big and chunky beaded necklaces are still in vogue. Two schools exist at the same time: organic earth tone beads and colourful and fun tone beads. Organic beads include bone and onyx necklaces. A more prevalent style is the eye-catching coloured wood bead necklaces.
Parallel to the bulky necklaces, designers are fond of enormous finger rings with big faceted gemstones. Bold and sparkling solitaire rings with a huge centre stone set on large prongs will not seem out of place. An extremely thick band with many small stones set on pave settings is another popular style that will make people give you an admiring look. Well, you get the idea, just be BOLD.
As for earrings, linear or fringy styles are still the rage. Dangle earrings with geometric designs incorporating loops and chains is still the way to go. In fact, these are similar to the chandelier earrings that have been super for ages.
Bracelets are a little overshadowed by necklaces most of the time. Simple charm bracelets look good. Charm bracelets with murano glass or natural gemstones complement and complete any outfit worn here in the Cayman Islands in a nice way.
The main jewellery metal colour still is gold. Also, deep browns, khakis, bright reds, oranges, off-whites, and light beiges are the primary stone and leather colours used in all designer fashion jewelry.
This year (2012) designers have created a great amount of special bijouterie, which is really big, bright and very unusual. Wide bracelets, long earrings, and eccentric necklaces.
