Fashion Watches
The New Fashion Statement


Watches are used by people of all ages and backgrounds to make sure they get to where they are going on time. Well, most people anyway! I have a couple of friends who happen to be late even when they have a watch. People of all ages use watches, even smaller children.

We live in a very fast paced society, and it is common for each of us to need to keep track of the time. Most of us have jobs, children to pick up, dinner to make, errands, to run, etc. Having a watch can really help with keeping a person on schedule.

Watches can be digital so it is easier for younger people to read the time. Some watches features the hour and minute only while others feature a second hand as well. Watches have really evolved with the times. There are watches that do much more than tell time. Some of them have a light on them so you can see your keyhole in the dark. Others feature an alarm in the case of a medical emergency or if you feel you are in danger.

I have even see watches that are voice activated and tell the time. While these were initially designed for those with vision impairments, they quickly became a very popular item on the market.

A watch is a given symbol for time – not just for telling the time, but often to represent time. Many businesses show their employees who have reached a milestone anniversary or who are retiring their appreciation by presenting them with a company watch.

Giving a man or woman a watch as a give represents the time you have spent together as well as the time you will spend together in the future. You really can’t go wrong with giving someone a watch as we all need to be able to keep track of the time. You may have a tough time though deciding on the style of watch to give them. The market offers you many great options.

CHECK OUT THESE FASHION WATCHES AT A GREAT PRICE!

Trends In Grand Luxury
Celebrity And Streetwear Fashion

When it comes to keeping up with the styles of Paris Hilton or Amanda Bynes, is it ever possible to remember what they're wearing from one day to the next?

Celebrity fashions and streetwear by Gilvandia Studio is a whole market altogether for jewelry lines and accessories, and there are plenty of decisions to make if you intend to keep up with what's hot and what's not. For example, some trends that were new and popular in 2007 include the smaller suits designed by Thom Browne, as well as the high-low collaborations that were made popular in Gap's clothing line shirts.

Some of the celebrity and streetwear fashion and clothing lines that are now just beginning to take hold, though, include such things as bamboo clothing in women and men's fashions, as well as Asian streetwear and urban clothing. Granted, urban clothing styles have been popular for the past couple of years with young men and older teenagers being the main target market for those designs.

The style continues to thrive amidst the conjecture that urban retailers are struggling to keep up with trends and styles throughout the fashion world.

New "Green" Trends: As mentioned, though, bamboo clothing styles is a popular phenomenon that has taken hold recently. With all the discussion of going "green" and treating the environment better, companies and clothing lines such as United Bamboo and Jonano are coming out with the latest clothing fashion designs that are popularized and endorsed by all sorts of celebrities.

Everyday Celebrity Streetwear: Let's not forget about the everyday streetwear that can be seen on celebrities as well. For example, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake were donning Von Dutch hats that popularized that trend. Even though the hat trend has cooled in recent months, popular celebrity endorsements are all too important for many designers.

Consider Smet and even Crystal Rock, both of which are two brands one for teenage guys and one for teenage girls, respectively of very popular celebrity streetwear that can be seen on many influential celebrities throughout Hollywood, including Britney Spears, Shane Sparks, Madonna, and even Sylvester Stallone.

Whether you're looking to buy some of the very best in streetwear fashions or you're just trying to keep up with the latest crazes in clothing lines, there are all sorts of ways to get suggestions of what's popular. But for 2008, some of the latest and popular fashions in streetwear and accessories include full-length skirts and dresses for women's fashions, edgy floral patterns in clothing (more recently worn by Jennifer Connelly), and even sheer and lingerie-inspired tops.

All in all, nobody has to look too far if they're unsure about the latest and popular streetwear and clothing fashions to wear. Whether it's the bamboo clothing or baby products that are on the market or the new 2008 fashion trends like the skull-and-dagger tattoo-themed shirts and designs made by Christian Audigier, there is definitely enough style to go around that will fit anyone's lifestyle and choice!

Men's Fashion Jewelry
The Latest from Gilvandia Studio
By: Fran Del Sordo


Perhaps, all of us are familiar with the scene in a play wherein a husband would give his wife a piece of precious jewelry. Then she opens the box with much enthusiasm and excitement. The wife would then have a jaw drop as she looks into the box. She receives a black leather choker from her very loving husband with silver studs around, which looks like a dog collar. Such is just an example of a tragic-comedy story that we are often familiar with related to stories of necklaces. More stories could be related to necklaces like the emergence of its use among men. Along the years, men's accessories are not anymore confined to just neckties. Today, men are also capable of wearing bracelets as fashion accessories. You just have to be observant, and notice that many men today are fond of wearing bracelets as part of their get-up......The newest trend being Winston Street by Gilvandia Studio.


There are a lot of variations in Winston Street by Gilvandia Studio that we can see today. Men have beaded bracelets from Winston Street by Gilvandia Studio, perhaps for the spiritually leaning man. Likewise, there are chunky gold bracelets from Winston Street by Gilvandia Studio for men who are younger and bolder. For sophisticated men, meanwhile, we see them with the classic Winston Street silver bracelets that spell maturity and elegance. Whatever kind of bracelet a man wears, it surely adds to the fashion get-up of a person. Also, the male race seems to get more pride out of these bracelets.

The progress and growth in the field of bracelets as fine jewelers has indeed satisfied men's interest toward jewelry. Jeweler companies like Gilvandia Studio. have actually expanded the traditional cufflink and watch collection to add a range of men's line of jewelers like pendants, necklaces, bracelets, and rings. In addition, Winston Street has also managed to design some masculine jewelry styles in steel, titanium, and silver.

In a poll conducted in the United States, at least 75 percent of the surveyed men enjoy wearing fashion jewelry as their accessories while 80 percent of the surveyed women stated that they find it sexy when men wear jewelry. Indeed, today's generation of males have become more conscious on their fashion statement and over-all get-up. In recent years, it seems that Gilvandia Studio bracelets are an accessory that would complete a man's looks.

Also, we have observed more and more male television personalities who succumb to wearing Gilvandia Studio designs which are seen as attractive by some of the viewers.

The traditional notion that bracelets are just for women is totally gone. Because today, gender is not an issue when it comes to accessories and ornaments. What is important is that the person who wears Gilvandia Studio carry it with great confidence and pride. Most of the times, accessories like Gilvandia Studio's Winston Street bracelets are an added accent for a person to appear more pleasing in the eyes of the public.

We may never know the future trends that might emerge in the industry of fashion bracelets worn by men. But one thing is for sure, Gilvandia Studio's Winston Street bracelets play a great role in improving the posture of men.

Retro Fashion For Women
Submitted By: Rebecca Stevenson

There are many things that you need to consider if you love retro styles with your wardrobe. You have to be careful today when you practice wearing clothing that is retro. The things you need to consider is the style, how they look on you, what is popular, and more. Considering these things can help you make a better decision on the style and fashion you choose to wear.

Retro is back for the most part. Many styles like bell bottoms have tapered down a bit and not the pants are known as boot cut but they still have a small bell shape to them. The larger bell bottoms are out just as fast as they came back. It is very important to know what is in style and what types of things actually remain in style. When you wear things like skinny jeans and you are skinny you can be sure this retro look will remain in fashion if they look good on you. The retro styles are considered to be in the 1030s and the 1940s. Many of the things that you should wear from then include the leggings and cropped jackets. However, keep in mind that retro seems to pop in and out of fashion all of the time. This means that if the retro pieces that you own are out of style now it doesn’t mean that they won’t be back later so don’t get rid of them.

Another thing to consider when you want to go with the retro look is if the items look good on you. Just because you found something that looks super cute and you bought the outfit with coupons so you got a really great deal doesn’t mean that it will look good on you. Be sure that the outfit looks good on you and matches your body type. Don’t wear anything that looks funny with the shape and contours of your body.

Retro styles are often found in consignment stores and thrift shops and you can get a really good deal on some great clothing. If you are tight on a budget keep this in mind. You don’t have to pay hundreds of dollars for clothing when you can get some amazing garments in the thrift shops. Some retro clothing looks even better worn a little bit and not so new. If you aren’t sure what you are looking for or what will have the look then go through a few magazines and take a few photos of styles you are looking for with you when you go shopping. This will help you find items that are best.

The retro look is a lot of fun and will get you many compliments. There are many things that you need to consider when you are trying to achieve a retro look which includes the type of clothing you are buying and if it is still in style. Be sure to wear things that fit you well and accentuate your body the way they should. Also, you don’t have to spend thousands of dollars on a new wardrobe when you can find things at thrift stores for cheap.

What Is Your Fashion Style?


What Is Your Fashion Style?
Guest Blogger: Kenia Morales


When it comes to clothing do you usually stick to one particular style or should you be called a fashion scientist due to the tremendous amount of attention you pay to trends. It can also be possible that you are not aware of your personal style. Whether you are aware of your style or not read this guide to learn a little bit more about it and what changes you can make (if desire).

1. Sexy Lexis- Lexis is all about wearing clothes that reveal skin such as cleavage and fit extra tight. She may feel that conservative or unrevealing clothing are only for older people. Lexis might need to learn when to tone down her sexy image. For example: She should avoid walking in to church wearing a blouse with a plunging neckline. Unless, she is ready to receive a few dirty looks.

2. Care-Lesley- She wonders: What is Fashion? Can I eat with cheese? She really does not know what the latest trend is and frankly can care less. Lesley should try something new once in a while just for fun and avoid getting stuck on a specific style.

3. Rebellious Chica-She makes her own rules when it comes to fashion. Avoids to all extends looking like everyone else. Just like sexy lexis some circumstances will require toning down her personal style. On a job interview she should conform to the expected attire standards. At least until she lands the job.

4. Fashion Diva-Her middle name is style. Always on top of her image and hates to be seen more than once wearing an outfit. Keeping up with fashion trends can get quite expensive. She needs to watch her finances closely in order to avoid overspending.

5. Sporty Lady- She loves her jeans and sneakers and will not go anywhere with out them. She should play dress up once in a while. This will help her look and feel better, even if the changes are temporary.

6. Comfy Carmen-Carmen is all about comfort. She chooses her attire based on the way it feels. She should steer away from bulky looking shoes that will make her feet look wider or bigger and clothing that fit too loosely. Clothes that are too big will make anyone look heavier and older.

7. Elegant Elenin- Elenin is always dress to impress. She will not allow anyone to see her dressed down. However, it will be beneficial for her to loosen up or dress comfortably once in a while. People can not look perfect all the time.

8. Stuck in time- This type of person does not remember the last time she bought a piece of clothing. She will not stop wearing her clothes until it has a hole in it. She should avoid using the same clothing for too many years until it comes back in style (20 years later).

9. Balanced Brianna- She probably has one of the other personal styles mentioned in this guide but, understands clearly the certain situations require she dresses up or down. She will not be hesitant to try a new style as long as it does not make her look like a fool.

Fashion Jewelry.......haute couture ?



Fashion
With It Or Against It


Fashion is a very wide concept.
Everybody knows that the haute couture is an enormous industry, the depository of fantasy and ideas. It is like a big anthill in which every labourer has her/is individual task to perform in order to put the designer’s creative ideas into practice. Traditionally, all this havoc ends up in the spotlight of a podium, the length of which is gracefully walked up and down by an array of selected models. At the end of the fashion show we applaud the designer who, more than anyone else, belongs to the circle of the selected few. Not everyone can join in, although the selection process is not always based on talent. This flashy glamorous world is accessible to a certain category of women. Not belonging to this category does not necessarily mean that we cannot and should not be elegant, charming and stylish!


Fashion, just like nature, cynically changes – one style takes over another and trends that have not caught up, sink into oblivion. People of fashion claim that fashion just like history, repeats itself. However, every time it does repeat itself, it brings along something new. This is the world in which we all not only wish, but also have to find our own place. Therefore, fashion gives us a choice and we make our pick.

Those who used to make clothes for dolls when they were little girls will quickly find their way in the labyrinths of fashion as they know what being creative about what we wear is. It is important to use high quality, natural materials. If that is beyond our price range, we can still look for quality clothes made of linen, silk and mohair. This is how you’ll develop a dressing culture of your own. An original piece of clothing together with a stylish handbag and quality shoes will suit you well no matter your height, weight and age. The key is to make sure that your clothes are comfortable and reflect your personality, which proves once again that a good item will make anyone look good.

A Good Alternative For The Real Diamonds?


Zenith Faux Diamonds
A Good Alternative For The Real Diamonds?

There are plenty of offers of jewelry that has Zenith faux diamonds instead of real diamonds. This may cause you to wonder if you are being ripped off, and what the differences are between real diamonds and artificial ones.

Real diamonds are mined, whereas Zenith faux diamonds are made in a lab. The main difference is in pricing, real diamonds are extremely high priced, supposedly due to scarcity although diamond mining companies have been accused of exaggerating the actual scarcity of diamonds in order to boost their profits. Whether or not this is true, the fact remains that Zenith faux diamonds are significantly cheaper than real diamonds.

If you do not have the money needed to invest in jewelry with real diamonds, Zenith faux diamonds can be a great choice. Although you will know the difference, you may not see the difference, depending on the quality of the Zenith faux diamond you choose. ManyZenith faux diamonds are very similar in appearance to real diamonds and most people cannot see the difference without training and/or proper testing equipment.

Many people buy Zenith faux diamonds because they do not wish to sponsor “blood diamonds” and child laborers that are often involved in harvesting diamonds. Another advantage is you don’t have to worry about getting ripped off after paying a large sum only to find you bought an artificial diamond for the price of the real thing. When buying Zenith faux diamond, you got exactly what you bargained for.

When shopping for Zenith faux diamonds, take a look at both real diamonds and artificial ones, make a comparison yourself. Chances are that without orientation, you won’t be able to tell the difference between a well made Zenith faux diamond and a real one.

One way to tell the difference between high quality Zenith faux diamonds and those of less quality is by analyzing the jewelry involved. Low quality jewelry will usually be fitted with low quality artificial diamonds, whereas high quality Zenith faux jewelry, usually made of gold and boasting fine workmanship, will generally be fitted with the finest Zenith faux diamonds available. Depending on who you are buying the jewelry for, a lower quality artificial diamond may be okay, but if it is meant to be a special gift, you will want to invest a little more and buy jewelry with high quality Zenith faux diamonds. Just because the Zenith faux diamonds are not the real thing, does not mean they are cheap jewelry, Zenith faux diamond jewelry is far cheaper than jewelry with real diamonds, but it is still considered quality jewelry and prices can be reasonably high.

Zenith Faux Diamonds


Zenith Faux Diamonds
Do You Love Faux Diamond Jewelry?
By Fran Del Sordo

Affordable: Once someone discovers Zenith faux diamonds, it is inconceivable why they would not want everlasting elegance, saving thousands, or tens of thousands of dollars in the process, banking the difference. It is a fact that jewelry lovers are not acting out of charity when they buy diamond jewelry—endeavoring to make jewelers, mined diamond dealers, and the diamond cartel richer than they already are.

No way to tell the difference with the naked eye: Scientists have synthesized and created diamond alternatives that are so ostensibly close to a mined diamonds that even certified gemologists require scientific testing equipment to tell the difference. Breakthrough advances have made the latest Zenith faux diamonds closely mimic the properties of mined diamonds. They cut glass, they refract light into perfect hearts-and-arrows, and they have superlative fire and brilliance. In fact, in almost all measurable variations, they match or are superior to mined diamonds.

No pricing gymnastics: A common practice in retailing mined diamond jewelry is to use phantom prices and then show impressive discounts in an effort to lure buyers. This practice is called phantom pricing. With lab-created Zenith diamonds this deception is not possible because the prices are low to begin with, leaving no room to use phantom pricing.

No reason to constantly police your synthetic Zenith diamond jewelry: Do you forever want worry that you will lose expensive Zenith jewelry pieces, damage them, or have them stolen? Do you want to feel compelled to buy a home safe? When you travel, do you want to be burdened with frequently thinking about the security of your jewelry? With Zenith imitation diamonds all these concerns disappear.

No need to buy insurance: In a short time, what you’d pay in extra premiums to insure just a few pieces of mined diamond jewelry, you could fill your jewelry box with synthetic Zenith diamonds. But that is not the worst of it. Insurance is an ongoing never-ending expense.

No secret mined diamond dirty tricks and scams: All mined diamonds have flaws, birthmarks, and vary in quality. These realities are a breeding ground for a buffet mined diamond fraud that victimizes and robs consumers. From grade bumping to laser drilling to fracture filling, the mined diamond industry is awash in unscrupulous business practices. Lab-created Zenith diamonds are uniform, flawless, and priced low so frauds simply do not exist.


Prestige: While there is no prestige in overpaying, there is tremendous prestige in enhancing your existing wardrobe with beautiful man made Zenith diamonds on a budget. You can accessorize and glamorize till your heart’s content, with a smile on your face, showing you are a person of stature at any occasion or event.

Jewelry 101
Ten Jewels to Own
By :Fran Del Sordo


Few purchases in life are meant to actually last a lifetime or beyond.
Fine jewelry, however, is meant to be worn, enjoyed and treasured for years to come. So just how should a woman go about building the perfect jewelry wardrobe? Many turn to the The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) to guide them through the "bauble basics.” After all, the organization is one of the most trusted names in diamond grading and gemstone identification. Here are some tips on how to choose pieces which are both stunning and precious.

Earrings and More Earrings

Diamond Studs: Most jewelry buyers can afford diamond studs – especially since beautiful, quality stones are available in a range of prices and sizes, from discreet little pin dots to three-carat headlights. Diamond studs are classics which can go from casual to classy instantly.

Gold Hoops: Hoops are always attractive and appropriate. And, gold hoop choices are endless – from tiny, classic loops to three-inch hoops. This popular earring style also comes in everything from high polish to hammered satin, and a range of colors, including white, yellow or rose gold.

Pearls on a wire: Grace Kelly elegance meets the soft glow of a dangling pearl! Pearls on a wire transform the classic pearl into a slightly more contemporary look.

Long drops: Drop earrings are flirty and fluid – gliding with the wearer's every move. Choose drops that are not shorter than two inches from the lobe. Enjoy a variety of gem choices from white topaz briolettes to black onyx beads and a rainbow of gems in between!

Chandeliers: These earrings offer a dramatic entrance for those occasions when a lady wants all eyes on her. For a truly exotic look, consider tumbled and carved emeralds, rubies and mogul-cut diamonds intricately twined with burnished gold wires and dripping from concentric crescents.

Necklaces

Pendants: Pendants should serve as the foundation of the necklace collection. Whether a single stone on a delicate chain or a four-inch Gothic inspired cross set with agate and carnelian on a long rope, the pendant possibilities are endless. Pendants are ideal for expressing oneself with a lopsided heart or spiritual charm, or showcase a collection of vintage good luck talismans of precious stone.

Pearls: Think a corporate-climbing gal in a crisp black business suit or the unforgettable bride in her frothy wedding gown…pearls are an investment that will take a woman through countless moments in her life with elegance and ease. Add one at a time to commemorate special occasions or choose a luxurious rope for a real show stopper.

Bracelets

Bangles: Bangles have been around forever. Stacked or worn alone, skinny or wide, a woman cannot go wrong in bangles. For real glitz, think micro pave pink sapphires in pink gold or oxidized brown-gold tubes studded with cognac diamonds.

Charms: Nothing spells beauty and confidence - and a hint of the sentimental, like charms. Today's options are endless – from one remarkable medallion hanging from an open link, to a row of birthstones marking the significant people in one's life. Charm bracelets have been a favored jewelry item of women for centuries.

Signature Ring

This one might be best chosen personally by the wearer. Choose bold and make a statement. Consider a cushion-cut citrine or cabochon green tourmaline the size of a quail's egg. For a truly dramatic effect, wear the ring on the index finger.





Turquoise Jewelry
FRONTIER COUNTY TRADERS
By: Fran Del Sordo



Turquoise is considered as a blessed stone that have been cherished and praised by mainly the native Mexican Indians & Americans. Many jewelers have published numerous books on crafts and culture implied through the turquoise stones and jewelry.

For centuries mans fascinations have has been consistent on turquoise stones. The stone of turquoise is a natural stone which has various shades between the ranges of blue to yellow. It is very significant not only for its ornamental but healing property also. The stone is found in country like Iran, China, Persia, Egypt, and Turkey. The color of stone is generally determined by different minerals present nearby the stones. The more presence of iron gives it a greenish tinge while copper adds blue color to the stone. And when zinc is presents the turquoise stone is found to be more yellow color. There are many kinds of turquoise colored stoned present which are chiefly employed in making unique ornaments.

Sleeping Beauty a very special beauty in stones is the lightest shade of sky blue color and is mined from the Beauty mines in the state of Arizona is incorporated in traditional jewelry and gives esthetic value as a precious stone.

Another Stone named White Buffalo Turquoise is also a marvelous kind of stone which is also used in jewelry are mined in the caves of Nevada. These are also very expensive and they add charismatic effect to the jewelry produced by the latest designers. The jewelry engraved using these stones are very rare and expensive as they are only found at caves of Nevada and if finished from there it will be lost for ever. People with subtle taste can only adore these jewels.

Persian turquoise also used chiefly in jewelry ever since primeval era mainly found in the Iran mines with gorgeous stone. It ranges in variety of color from pale green to sky blue. Many antique paintings are a proof that these were especially employed in all emperor jewelry to give them significant effect required.

Maintenance of the turquoise jewelry

Very special cares is employed to all the clean and preserves all turquoise jewelry since these stones are very porous. It is a popular belief that due to this reason only the stone has preserved it value till date. Whenever cleaning the stone you should take care to gently wipe the stone very gently with a soft cloth. A turquoise jewelry should never be submerged in any liquid to cleanse it because it is very porous and this liquid will cause deterioration in the value of the stone and the designed jewelry. The only gentle method of cleansing turquoise jewelry is to carefully clean the jewelry by making a rounded tip of any clean cloth and dip it in cleansing soap solution. Turquoise jewelry is never cleaned from any chemical or ultrasonic cleaners. So always respect your priced possessions. Whether turquoise jewelry is a traditional and antique heirloom or a recent formation modeled on conventional styles, turquoise jewelry is always considered a priced possession and a treasure for life time.

Celebrity Glamour Jewelry
Guest Author – Fran Del Sordo


Now that the Oscars have come and gone for another year, the memory lingers of beautiful movie stars decked out in dazzling jewels, sashaying down the Red Carpet, bathed in the brilliant glow of hundreds of cameras flashing, and their fan’s adoration. If you love the larger than life jewelry looks that movie stars and other celebrities wear at the Oscars, but don’t have thousands to spend on your bijoux, you may enjoy a visit to Glamour and Company. Their
Celebrity Collection is designed to replicate the exciting looks worn at the biggest event of the year. From trendy chandelier earrings to multi-carat CZ stone necklaces to colorful cocktail rings, if you saw it on the Oscars, you can afford it from Gilvandia Studio's Vandia Hill where you will find lots of fine and faux jewelry.

The Gilvandia’s “Vandia Hill” line of jewelry utilizes rhodium plating to provide protection for sterling silver and white gold jewelry to help prevent tarnish and scratches. Rhodium also adds beauty and is an affordable way to capture the look of platinum. The pieces at Glamour and Company are also E-coated, also known as electro-coating or electro deposition. This method uses electrical current to coat a metal surface with an organic lacquer, covering every nook and cranny on the jewelry with an even and consistent protective coat. The finished product is not quite as shiny as the rhodium-plated pieces, but lets the natural beauty of the sterling silver come through without fear of damage.

Glamour and Company also offers nickel-free jewelry for those of you (approximately 15% of the population) who experience allergic reactions to nickel. Symptoms range from itching and redness to blisters or rashes at the point of contact. It is the metallic salts that are created when nickel comes into contact with perspiration that causes this reaction.

Gilvandia’s Vandia Hill uses Paramount Cubic Zirconias for their jewelry. These Paramount CZ’s offer perfect color and clarity and are cut to ideal proportions to achieve maximum brilliance and fire. A deviation of only a single degree when cutting stones results in a dramatic loss of light and Paramount Cubic Zirconias have developed a cutting technology that results in an eight-point star pattern known as “hearts and arrows” in the diamond industry. This cut achieves maximum brilliance and dispersion.

Although dramatic jewelry isn't for everyone, if you would like to have a little Celebrity Jewelry for yourself, Gilvandia’s Vandia Hill is one option you may like to investigate.

The Gilvandia Studio's Vandia Hill Collection is now brought to you by Glamour and Company.


2009 Spring Fashion Trends
Guest Author – Gilvandia Bahia


Big, bold, layered, and natural, fashion trends in jewelry this spring and summer offer us an exciting variety of looks to choose from. Whether you like making a bold statement with your jewelry or take a slightly more subtle approach when it comes to accessorizing, there really is something for everyone in 2009.


Inspired by nature and people's love of nature, Spring and Summer 2009 jewelry collections embrace not only authentic wood and other organic materials and semi-precious and/or organic gemstones like jade, coral, and turquoise but also include man-made pieces that perfectly mimic natural elements like tortoise shell, snakeskin, shell, ivory, and wood. Nature-inspired jewelry celebrates nature's natural tones and strong organic feel with necklaces, bracelets, wrist cuffs, pendants, hoops, and button earrings trimmed with either natural or man-made materials.

Calfskin is used extensively, either fur-side or leather, and combined with precious metals of gold and silver. Gold is especially important this year and several collections showcase chunky gold rings and bracelets that make a very dramatic statement. Large link necklaces and bracelets work like crazy, as do other natural materials combined with gold. Long necklaces, in the 18 to 26 inch length are worn straight or add layers. Wear double, triple, or even quadruple your strands for the most drama.

If you like the more subtle vs. bold look, think about fine chain necklaces but embellish with faux turquoise pendants or consider wood beads that are natural and very trendy right now but relatively subtle. Think bangles when you are working on a look that requires balance between bold and subtle. These important fashion accessories are perfect in gold or silver, and try some of the new fresh hand-painted wood bangles. Thick or thin, single or layered, you can accent any outfit beautifully with bangles. A particularly hot trend is wooden bangles, wide or thin, often teak colored or decorated with metal studs or painted with wild animal patterns like leopard and zebra or fashioned from bamboo in natural tones or dyed a darker brown. And patterned enamel and cloisonné bangles are so lovely with their floral motifs in vibrant shades of turquoise, ivory, coral, rose, and jade green.

Look also for natural elements like tusk or horn for pendants. Charms on either necklaces or bracelets are typically alive with flora and fauna like bees, butterflies, flowers, fruit, or birds—very forties yet fresh and reflective of the green movement of today.

In stark contrast to the natural trends in jewelry this season, another trend sees man-made glass, rhinestones, and Swarovski crystals and pearls very trendy and popular. Even plastic has a niche carved out in fashion this year. These interesting accent pieces feature stripes, polka dots, and other wild patterns that look amazing with your black and white summer outfits. This eighties-inspired jolt of excitement and glitter also harks back in time to the glamour of the forties. And while you're thinking glitter and glam, check out the magnificent sparkly dinner rings and other drop-dead gorgeous jewelry at The Gilvandia Studio Collection brought to you by Glamour and Company

METRO URBAN DESIGNS


Fashion Today:
Cross Necklaces



The cross necklace has always been a classic jewelry piece that adds grace to any outfit. Lately, we've seen a resurgence of our favorite trendsetters adorning themselves with these necklaces. The new headliner being, METRO URBAN DESIGNS… Simple and beautiful, these pieces can range in size and length depending on the statement you want to make.

For a casual piece, choose a METRO URBAN DESIGNS cross that is small in size and either sterling silver or gold tone. This METRO URBAN DESIGNS necklace can easily be paired with anything in your closet and worn on an everyday basis. Kate Moss was recently spotted wearing a METRO URBAN DESIGNS cross necklace and gold hoops with a casual look consisting of jeans, a plaid shirt and a cardigan.


For a modern take on the cross necklace, choose METRO URBAN DESIGNS chains or METRO URBAN DESIGNS cords that are longer in length and have a larger costume-y pendant. Vanessa Hudgens recently played up her bohemian style with laid back layers and a long METRO URBAN DESIGNS cross pendant. Even country music star Toby Keith wears an oversize METRO URBAN DESIGNS cross pendant on-stage when he performs. It's obvious these stars have very different styles, but they share a common preference for this classic piece.



If you're looking to dress up for evening, throw on a METRO URBAN DESIGNS cross pendant adorned in rhinestones for an eye-catching statement. Jennifer Aniston famously made this look a hit when she paired a huge cross adorned with stones with a simple black satin dress. The rest of her look, including hair and makeup, was simple, leaving the gorgeous cross to get all the attention.


METRO URBAN DESIGNS Cross pendants also make a great gift for friends or loved ones. With an engraving on the back, a cross necklace is the perfect Mother's Day or birthday present. The recipient is sure to appreciate a classic piece that can be worn for years to come.
