Fine jewelry trends could melt the winter fashion ice. No wonder they call it ‘hot’.

Colored Gemstones:

 

Diamonds are a girl’s best friends. But they are slowly and steadily giving way to fascinating colored rocks. Sapphires, rubies and emeralds are again hot in the entire season. And we could also enjoy blushing shades of tanzanite, peridot, amethyst, citrine, turquoise, chalcedony, jade and opal.

Vintage Inspiration:

 

The bygone era jewelry is in vogue. You have been using your grandma’s statement pieces for dress-up plays, but now it’s time to flaunt the same for getting into season’s best style. Victorian, Art-deco, Edwardian, Baroque and Art Nouveau patterns are echoing.

 

Antique settings, filigree, engraving and lace work are back and this time it’s finer and better than ever.

Statement Earrings:

 

 

Exclusive hoops and drops are what you can find on red carpets and runways. Celebrities everywhere are seen with statement drop earrings and extra large hoops.

 

Miranda Lambert’s asymmetrical drop earrings at CMA 2012 and Beyonce’s much talked Obama hoops showed the popularity of the two styles.

Cocktail Rings:

 

 

They never go out of fashion. Cocktail rings are always a bold and bright choice for adding a noticeable pop of color with the desired brilliance. Colored gemstone cocktail rings are making the season hotter, even celebs can’t stop themselves from showing off these bold jewels.

Stack and Layer:

 

 

We have seen jewelry stacking and layering as a desirable style at award events and movie premieres. Along with your winter clothing it’s time to layer your gemstone bracelets, cuffs and bangles or necklaces and pendants. It adds that extra oomph to any outfit.

Lariat and Opera Necklaces:

 

 

Extra long necklaces were the favorites of Coco Chanel. Versatile to wear as a layered accessory or as a single chain, they are back with a refined sparkle.

So gals, how many of these season’s trends, do you already own?
