Let Your Jewelry Outshine Rudolph’s Nose this Year
As you deck the halls this holiday season, don’t forget to deck yourself out in the latest jewelry. After all, this time of year is all about sparkle and color, and today’s hottest jewelry fits right in.
"This season, jewelry is bigger, bolder and more colorful," says Claire Kiecker, a jewelry buyer for Shop NBC, an upscale TV and Internet retailer known for its excellence in fine jewelry. "Pieces that make a statement are must have accessories right now." Whether you or the lucky person on your gift list favor earrings, pins, rings, necklaces or bracelets, a special piece of jewelry is a great way to update your wardrobe and tie together that special holiday outfit.
Among the biggest trends Kiecker sees this year are wide bracelets and rings that feature gemstones in bold, bright colors. "Our customers are loving these bigger, ‘statement’ pieces," she says. Stones in a wide variety of colors such as peridot, sapphire, aquamarine, tanzanite and amethyst add a new twist to jewelry fashions. Pins are back in a big way this year, too. "They add color, sparkle and a fun retro feel," says Kiecker. Another nostalgic favorite is the charm bracelet.
"All of these trends reflect the larger trend toward luxury items this holiday season," says Kiecker. "More is more right now -- forget understatement. This jewelry will definitely attract attention," she adds. Join the march toward luxury by investing in quality jewelry for yourself or loved ones.
Any of these pieces would make wonderful gifts. Shop NBC also features sets that include earrings and pendants, for an extra special holiday treat. Sterling silver and gold are both very much in demand this season. Also coming to the forefront are right hand rings. These rings, featuring diamonds or cubic zirconia, make a definite statement.
