Designer Jewelry at the 2011 People's Choice Awards
I like the trend to more colorful jewelry that we've seen at celebrity events during the past year. Sure, there are still a boatload of pieces designed with white diamonds and platinum, that will never change, but we're seeing more and more vividly colored gems in the mix, like this ruby ring by Neil Lane, on the finger of actress Lyndsy Fonseca. wore a yellow gold and coral bangle, and and were both fashioned from color diamonds.Super Bowl Rings
It's almost that time again - time for the Super Bowl. It would be bad luck for teams to look at potential ring designs now, but you can bet that ring companies are busy developing unique designs for both the Steelers and the Packers, and will present them to the winning team as soon as possible after the February 6th game. Super Bowl rings get larger and more intricate (read: gaudy) every year (compare the Steelers' recent bling ring, shown here, with the awarded after the first game in 1967).
February's Birthstone: Amethyst!
If gazing into the sparkling purple depths of an Amethyst suffuses you with a sense of powerful well being, this is only to be expected. The ancient Greeks believed that this gemstone held many powers, among them protection against intoxication. In fact, the word Amethyst comes from the Greek word "amethystos," meaning sober. In ancient Greece, the gemstone was associated with the god of wine, and it was common practice to serve this beverage from Amethyst goblets in the belief that this would prevent overindulgence. Even today, Amethyst is considered a stabilizing force for those struggling to overcome addictive behaviors.

Gothic Jewelry: Dark, Sexy and Mysterious
......you know you've always wanted to try it..... ;-)
Gothic jewelry, or darkside jewelry, as opposed to 'light,' evokes images of the macabre and the preternatural: vampires, the dead and undead, spirits, black magic and the black arts. As such, artisans craft items that would appeal to a person's dark or gothic side. There is an abundance of e-commerce websites and specialty stores whose emphasis is on jewelry and the darkside. In these places, a person will be able to find gothic jewelry such as pentacle pendants, gothic cross necklaces, spider-and-web piercings, and more.Men's Jewelry Gets New Outlook!
Jewelry design experts say Men's Jewelry is not just a passing fad. In fact, designers and retailers are devoting more time, attention, and store space to Men's Jewelry than ever before!
Men today are showing a desire to want to show their identity to the world, and they're at ease and confident enough to complement a watch with a bracelet, necklace, or ring. And, now more varied forms of jewelry have become socially acceptable. But what kind of jewelry do modern men want? What catches their eye? What do they think catches the ladies' eyes?
Trends In Pearls!
One of today's hottest is to wear multiple strands of pearls. To take your look from demure to dramatic, layer on the pearls! This sassy secret has worked wonders since the beginning of time. Imagine a cascade of pearl strands swinging over your simple black sheath or sweater set.Mix different pearl sizes and lengths with reckless abandon (though keeping your pearls close in color produces the best effect). Multiple strands of work for both day and evening. They look best with simple crew or V-necklines, although the adventurous may layer them flirtatiously in an unbuttoned neckline of a blouse or shirt. Pastel colors are in and are available in natural colors that range from pink to peach to lavender. Multi strand pastel freshwater pearls in multiple colors with a large silver clasp are perfect summer evening wear. A single strand of pink or peach freshwater is fashion dynamite with a hot pink or peach bikini.

A Hint Of Winter....Better Get Ready
Nicolas Ghesquiere and Alber Elbaz may both have bucked the extreme platform shoe trend in favor of the sexy stiletto but in terms of the costume jewelry they sent down the runways at Balenciaga and Lanvin respectively, they occupy polar opposites of the aesthetic spectrum. Chunky cuffs or delicate bangles? Bold pendants or intricate chokers? The choice for fall/winter 2009-10 is a rich but stark one.Titanium And Black Diamond Men's Rings

Fashion keeps getting stranger and stranger. Even wearing purple feathers as hair accessories is common these days (I confess. I own a feather headband or two). But when it comes to jewelry, many women opt for tried and true pieces. Diamond journey necklaces, diamond stud earrings and dainty diamond bracelets are the most common items found in a woman's jewelry box. These classic trends aren't going anywhere either. Tried and true jewelry pieces will continue to be popular throughout 2011.
