Fall and Winter 2010 Jewelry Trends for Earrings, Necklaces, Bracelets and Rings

Fall and Winter jewelry trends are beginning to make their statement, and the hot trends for the cooler months will be hard to ignore. Statement necklaces and big chunky details promise to be big for Fall 2010/Winter 2011. Here are the best trends for Fall 2010 and suggestions about where to get them:

Statement Necklaces
Longer, layered necklaces will still be popular for the fall of 2010, but shorter statement necklaces with elegant details are making a splash as well. Bib necklaces are a huge trend for fall, and you don't have to dole out the big bucks to get them. Here's a great example of a bib necklace for only twelve dollars.

Dramatic Earrings
The simple drop earrings of a few seasons ago are gone. Instead, chandelier earrings and layers of faux pearls will be big. Try wearing pearl earrings with a simpler charm necklace for understated elegance.

Big Rings
Big bauble rings featuring rhinestones, flowers, and other bold designs are hot for fall 2010. Etsy.com has some amazing examples of statement rings, and you can rest easy knowing you're buying your jewelry from artists specializing in handmade jewelry.

Woodland Creatures
Woodland creatures emerged from the indie fashion scene and are now making their way into the mainstream fashion world. As a contrast to the big, bold statement necklaces of 2010, woodland creature charms of all strips will be embellishing necklaces and earrings. Like most trends that have their roots in the indie scene, Etsy.com is a great source for this fall 2010 jewelry trend. Especially popular are owls, swallows, and deer.

Flowers
Flower embellishments on jewelry are another popular trend from the indie scene. From tiny flowers embellishing locket necklaces to huge flower necklaces, flowers will be big well into the fall. You can find some excellent examples of this kind of jewelry here

Eclectic Charms
From harmonicas to handcuffs, birdcages to whistles, interesting and eclectic charms are beginning to emerge out of the indie fashion scene. Try mixing a harmonic necklace with a set of pearl earrings for a unique mix of feminine and eccentric appeal.
