Fashion Jewelry – what’s hot for 2009?

So just what is hot this year in the world of fashion jewelry?

Well thankfully ‘affordable’ is the name of the game for 2009 - Beads, tribal jewelry and handmade pieces are hot, hot, hot! It seems the fashion world has taken notice of the global economic crisis, and instead of lavish diamonds and precious metals we’re talking wood, plastic, glass, crystals and non-precious metals.  Of course to us ladies diamonds and white gold will never be out of fashion but at least we know we can look fabulous for less this year.

Topshop, H&M and River Island have all responded to the new trends with beautiful collections, and we’re expecting the rest of the highstreet mainstays to follow suit.

For something a little different why not take a trip to your local flea market or car boot sale – vintage remains huge in 2009 and, with handcrafted jewellery all the rage, you’re sure to unearth some beautiful bargains.

Beads are everywhere this year in all shapes and sizes. If you can’t find a set to complete your outfit then why not try making your own, that way you can pick your own beads to perfectly compliment your ensemble, and you can be sure you’re wearing a true original. There are loads of jewellery making kits available online or from craft shops and it couldn’t be easier. What are you waiting for?

Brooches are also making a comeback this year, although some will say they never went out of fashion. Big, bold and colourful is the way forward so again, flea markets, car boot sales, jumble sales and vintage shops are the place to look. If you’re not into trawling round for second hand treasure then rest assured the highstreet stores will have plenty on offer.  

We’ll be tapping into our wholesale fashion jewellery contacts for the lowdown on what’s hot for 2010 so watch this space.

I couldn’t agree with you more! Bold pieces definitely go a long way when it comes to bringing new life into an outfit. By just adding a great beaded necklace to a simple t-shirt and jeans can make you look much more trendy. As important as it is to be careful with your money these days, I think it’s just as important to reward yourself with something fabulous when you’ve really worked hard. Recently I got this long awaited promotion at work; I worked so hard to get it I knew I would have to reward myself. I was looking around online and I came across the Jewelry Information Center website. They had such great selections; I was able to find the perfect idea for a bracelet. Every time I look down at my wrist it’s the perfect reminder of how much hard work went into me getting this promotion. JIC has definitely become my go-to website for everything jewelry related. They have great shopping tips, the latest trends and awesome tips on how to keep your jewelry clean and looking great. I’ll definitely be looking through their site soon because mother’s day is just around the corner, and I know I’ll be able to find my mom some great gift ideas on JIC. I was actually browsing through the site a few days ago and I came across this section they have called Jewelry Stories, people from all over have submitted their personal jewelry stories, some of them are really fun and inspiring to read. I decided to submit my own story (about my "promotion bracelet") and was ecstatic when I saw that I had been entered into a contest to win a beautiful open heart necklace designed by Jane Seymour. Its def. worth checking out!
